In the heats, Canada, the Netherlands and Trinidad and Tobago set National Records to get to the finals, T&T did so while resting anchor runner Semoy Hackett for the finals. Jamaica rested two, Veronica Campbell-Brown and Elaine Thompson, but not their superstar Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, in order to make six girls eligible for medals. Jamaica was the number one qualifier. USA ran their A team, to assure qualification but not resting their workhorse Allyson Felix even though Tori Bowie, Dezerea Bryant and Kaylin Whitney had been listed as their entries,http://www.legacy.usatf.org/News/Returning-gold-medalists-lead-Team-USA-into-IAAF-W.aspx USA Track & Field - Returning gold medalists lead Team USA into IAAF World Championships Legacy.usatf.org 2015-10-08 2022-09-08 21 December 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20191221080631/http://www.legacy.usatf.org/News/Returning-gold-medalists-lead-Team-USA-into-IAAF-W.aspx dead unlisted Jasmine Todd anchored. In the finals Jamaica was out early with Campbell-Brown and a quick handoff to Natasha Morrison. Kseniya Ryzhova left too early and Russia never made a handoff, while USA looked to proportionally hold their own against the stagger through the backstretch with Felix. Trinidad and Tobago was also in position, while Dafne Schippers ran past Canada's Kimberly Hyacinthe on the outside. Jamaica continued to build their lead with Elaine Thompson through the tour, handing off smoothly to Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce in first place, who further extended their lead. USA was a clear second and Trinidad and Tobago clearly third, each with enough separation that places would not change to the finish. Behind them, the Netherlands was just slightly ahead of the British and German teams. Desiree Henry ran away from the others and was closing on Hackett, http://www.iaaf.org/news/report/beijing-2015-women-4x100m-final REPORT: WOMEN'S 4X100M FINAL – IAAF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS, BEIJING 2015 29 August 2015 iaaf.org 2 September 2015 while the Dutch team's illegal handover earned them a disqualification.
