The U.S. women won their sixth straight Olympic gold medal in resounding fashion in the women's 4x400 relay Saturday night at the Rio de Janeiro Games.

Natasha Hastings, Courtney Okolo, Phyllis Francis and Allyson Felix finished the race in 3:19.06, well ahead of the Jamaican team. Great Britain finished third for the bronze.

This win also marks Allyson Felix's sixth Olympic track and field gold ... the most of any woman.
