Originally third in 2014 were Russia in 8:08.19 (Irina Maracheva 2:02.6, Yelena Kobeleva 2:01.9, Tatyana Myazina 2:02.3, Svetlana Rogozina 2:01.4), but in February
2016 it was announced that Maracheva had committed a doping violation, resulting in the annulment of all her results from June 26, 2012. As at April 17, 2017, this has
been the only doping violation confirmed at the IAAF World Relays
All split times are unofficial. Where possible, the most accurate times are given. These are a mixture of transponder times and those taken from video analysis. Not
shown are the 4x100m anchor times from 2015 (Bolt 8.65 etc), as these were triggered by a transponder and stopped by photo-finish. The first two legs of the 4x400m
were effectively timed manually with a signal as each baton holder crossed the mid-point of the changeover zone in their lane. These have been expressed in tenths
throughout, and verified by video where possible
