Overview by IAAF

The 500m stagger often hides the quickest runners on the first leg of a 4x400m relay. Not so this time because sprint star Torrence produced the astonishing time of 49.0 to give the United States a huge lead. With the individual 400m gold and silver medallists to follow, the USA were never in danger of being caught, even though another sprint specialist, Privalova, ran 48.47 for Russia on the anchor.

These are the official results of the Women's 4x400 metres event at the 1993 IAAF World Championships in Stuttgart, Germany. Their final was held on Sunday 1993-08-22.
