The team of Marlyse Ahanda, Njock Eunice, Mireille Ntoumi, and Brigitte Ntsama finished the race in 43.93 seconds, breaking the previous record of 44.08 seconds set in 2017.

The Congolese team won the silver medal, while the team from the Democratic Republic of the Congo won the bronze.

This is the second gold medal for Cameroon at the Jeux de la Francophonie, following the victory of Emmanuel Eseme in the men’s 100m on Friday.
