Talk about dominating the field. The American women have easily captured their fifth consecutive Olympic win in the 4x400 relay. Their winning time of 3:16.87 was a season best. Russia finished second in 3:20.23 and Jamaica was third in 3:20.95. DeeDee Trotter opened the relay, handed off to 200-meters gold medalist Allyson Felix, who gave the baton to Francena McCorory. Sanya Richards-Ross, the gold-medal winner in the women's 400 meters, ran the closing leg. All the handoffs were clean. — Jenna Fryer — Twitter http://twitter.com/jennafryer ___ EDITOR'S NOTE — "Eyes on London" shows you the Olympics through the eyes of Associated Press journalists across the 2012 Olympic city and around the world.
