| The main photo above shows Angelo during the heats of the mens 400m
at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka. In the final itself, Taylor, a
gold medallist over the hurdles at the 2000 Olympics, won the bronze
medal in a time of 44.32 secs. The inset picture shows the closing few
metres of the final, with Angelo on the far right. Jeremy Wariner
(centre of the photo) won the gold and LaShawn Merritt (second right)
silver, meaning the USA completed a clean sweep of the medals. Taylor
then teamed up with Wariner, Merritt and Darold Williamson to win gold
for the USA in the 4x400m relay. It
was the third time that Angelo had won a relay gold at the Worlds,
having also tasted success in 1999 & 2001. |

The photo above shows Angelo Taylor shortly after passing the baton over to Darold Williamson
after he had run the second leg for the USA in the final of the mens 4x400m at the 2007 World
Championships in Osaka. The USA went on to record an impressive and somewhat inevitable
victory in a world leading time for 2007 of 2.55.56.
