Coming off the turn, Duszyński went past Angela into the lead. Halfway through the lap, Angela passed Ogando, then Duszyński gained through the final turn with Norwood in tow. Bol almost made it, pulling the pack to just behind Medina at the handoff, the teams leaving the zone with Alexander Ogando (DOM), Ramsey Angela (NED), Kajetan Duszyński (POL) and Vernon Norwood (USA) in a row. Netherlands went with their star 400 hurdler Femke Bol, along with Justyna Święty-Ersetic for Poland and Kaylin Whitney for USA separating as a 3-person pack in chase of Medina. Anabel Medina left the pass with almost a 3-second Dominican lead. Down the home stretch, Ellis tied up and Kaczmarek ran past. Kendall Ellis powered through the fourth turn passing Poland's Natalia Kaczmarek and Klaver chasing after Paulino. Through the third turn, Marileidy Paulino pulled Dominican Republic past all the teams, squeezing past the Netherlands' Lieke Klaver after the break to take the lead. In the final, the Netherlands' Liemarvin Bonevacia took the lead going in to the first handoff, with Karol Zalewski (Poland), Trevor Stewart (USA) and Dylan Borlée (Belgium) in contention. The Dutch and Belgian teams protested against the reinstatements-both protests were rejected by the CAS. This meant that German and Spanish teams, that qualified after the disqualifications, did not qualify to the final-they protested, and it was decided that Germany could start the final as ninth team. Both teams appealed and the decision was reversed. After finishing first and second in their heat, USA and Dominican Republic teams were initially disqualified for an alleged baton changeover violation.
