Pure joy from Melissa Jefferson-Wooden after Team USA’s 4x100m relay gold in Tokyo 🏅🇺🇸
Melissa Jefferson-Wooden capped off her incredible World Championships by anchoring Team USA’s women’s 4x100m relay to victory alongside Twanisha “TeeTee” Terry, Kayla White, and Sha’Carri Richardson. After crossing the line, Jefferson-Wooden sprinted to the stands, jumping into her husband’s arms before sharing emotional hugs with her coaches. She then joined her teammates on the track, celebrating with a little dance as the crowd roared.
This wasn’t just another medal — it was history. Jefferson-Wooden completed the rare sprint triple crown, winning gold in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay all at the same championships. At just 24 years old, she joins legends of the sport and puts herself in the conversation as one of the most dominant sprinters of her generation.
The Tokyo 2025 World Championships will be remembered for breakout performances, emotional farewells, and record-setting runs — but Jefferson-Wooden’s triple gold stands out as one of the defining moments. With her teammates and fans by her side, her celebrations showed exactly what it means to wear the stars and stripes on the world stage.
