Botswana won the men's 4x400m at the World Relays in Gaborone on May 3, 2026, clocking 2:54.47, the third-fastest time in history. The team included Olympic 200m gold medalist Letsile Tebogo, who ran the anchor leg.
South Africa's Lythe Pillay ran the fastest relay leg in history, splitting 43.49 seconds on the third leg. This broke the previous record held by Michael Johnson, who ran 43.18 in 1998, but Pillay's split is now the fastest ever recorded in a relay.
The United States finished second in 2:55.56, and Jamaica took third in 2:56.89. The race was held at the Botswana National Stadium in front of a home crowd.
