After two rapid semi-finals, the United States have qualified quickest for the 4 x 400m final with a season best time of 2:57.77.
Belgium also qualified, but there was some heartbreak about 40m from the finish line in the final leg of the relay.
Jonathan Borlee was in contention to win the race but pulled up the finish line in sight with what looked to be a hamstring injury, but he continued to courageously run to ensure his country would qualify for the final.
