| The main photo above shows Jeremy leading the USA home 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 - the
chasing pack can be seen well behind in the photo above - in a world
leading time for 2007 of 2.55.56. The top left picture shows the final
changeover between Jeremy and Darold Williamson whilst the bottom right
photo shows a happy Wariner flying the flag on a victory lap. It capped
an excellent championship for Jeremy who had also claimed gold in the
individual 400m (see below). |

| The race finish picture above shows Jeremy (centre of photo) cruising
to victory in the final of the mens 400m at the 2007 World
Championships in Osaka, thus defending successfully the title that he
had won two years previously in Helsinki. LaShawn Merritt (second right)
and Angelo Taylor (far right) finished 2nd and 3rd respectively to
complete an American clean sweep of the medals. Wariner then teamed up
with Merritt, Taylor and Darold Williamson to win gold for the USA in
the 4x400m relay (see next page for pictures and further details). It
was the third global championship in a row that Wariner had struck gold
in the 400m and 4x400m, having also achieved the feat at the 2004
Olympics and 2005 Worlds. |
