The favorite relay teams came mainly from the United States with top runner Marion Jones, who was still eligible to start at the time of the race, from the Bahamas, the reigning world champions , and from Jamaica, third in the 1999 World Cup and runners-up in 1997 .
For the finale there were cast changes in four seasons.
- Bahamas - Eldece Clarke-Lewis has been replaced by Debbie Ferguson.
- Jamaica - Merlene Ottey ran for Merlene Frazer.
- USA - Marion Jones replaced Passion Richardson.
- France - Linda Ferga replaced Sandra Citte.
Savatheda Fynes, starting runner for the Bahamas, was the first to hand over the baton. The Americans did not carry out their moves properly, so they lost a lot of ground. After the last change, final runner Marion Jones was in third place behind the Bahamas leading Debbie Ferguson and the Jamaican Merlene Ottey. Jones could no longer catch up. There was bronze for the USA, silver for Jamaica and gold for the Bahamas.
It was the first Olympic victory for the Bahamas season. The Jamaican Merlene Ottey won her ninth medal on her sixth Olympic participation. This made her the most successful athlete at the Olympic Games, although she did not win the Olympic Games.
The American Marion Jones admitted in 2007 that she had violated the doping regulations. She returned her relay medal , the US relay was disqualified. After an objection by the US team, the International Court of Justice CAS decided in 2010 on the basis of the regulations in force in 2000 to return the bronze medals to the other relay members and to place the US team in third place.
