Jamaica won

Heat Two of the preliminary round of the men’s 4×400 metres race at the World

Championships in Doha, Qatar, on Saturday, to advance to the final of the

event.

Jamaica were

steady throughout with Akeem Bloomfield handing the baton over first to Nathon

Allen. Allen maintained the lead, with Terry Thomas doing likewise, before

Javon Francis held the challenges of the fast-finishing Kevin Borlee of Belgium

to win.

Jamaica won

in a season best of 3:00.87 minutes to qualify for the final as one of three

automatic qualifiers for the final from the heat. Belgium also did a season

best of 3:00.87 metres with Trinidad and Tobago finishing third in 3:01.35.

The United

States of America won the first heat in 2:59.89 minutes ahead of Columbia in a

national record of 3:01.06 with Italy third in a season best of 3:01.60.

The two

non-automatic qualifiers are Botswana with 3:01.63 minutes from Heat One and

France from Heat Two with a season best of 3:01.40.
