The main photo above shows the final changeover between Darold and
Jeremy Wariner in the final of the mens 4x400m at the 2007 World
Championships in Osaka. The USA strolled to an impressive and somewhat
inevitable victory in a world leading time for 2007 of 2.55.56. It was
Williamson's first medal at a major championship and he can be seen
enjoying the moment in the top left inset picture.
