Aussies take mixed 4x400m silver in World Relays

Australia's 4x400m mixed relay quartet of Luke van Ratingen, Ellie Beer, Terrell Thorne and Carla Bull are celebrating the country's second ever silver medal at the World Athletics Relays championship in China after another record-breaking run.

The Aussie foursome couldn't match the American champions in Guangzhou on Sunday but, for the second day running, lowered the national and Oceanian record to take the silver in 3min 12.20sec.

On a fine final session of the two-day event, their medals were the icing on the cake as four Australian teams booked their places for the world championships in Tokyo, including the men's 4x100m, who could feature both sprint stars Lachlan Kennedy and Gout Gout in Japan.
