The current men's world record stands at 36.84, set by the Jamaican team at the final of the 2012 London Olympic Games on 11 August 2012. As the only team to break 37 seconds to date, Jamaica has been the dominant team in the sport, winning two consecutive Olympic Gold Medals and four consecutive World Championships.
The country has won the men's race 15 times and the women's race on 12 occasions. The American men were dominant historically, accruing eight straight wins from 1920 to 1956, but have also logged numerous disqualifications (chiefly due to baton pass failures), including five straight from 2008 to 2024 (also in 1912, 1960, and 1988).
