The Poland 4x400 meter relay team not only made themselves astonished by this unbelievable record, but they astonished everyone in attendance and the world. This world record was the first world record ever set for the IAAF World Indoor Championships. The four men on the relay team, were originally going for the European world record, and not only did they beat that record, but they also beat the indoor world record for the men's 4x400 meter relay. What makes this event even more astonishing, was the fact that the U.S.A. team had also beaten the previous world record for the men's indoor 4x400 meter relay, but were just shy of setting the record themselves after falling short to Poland's team. The previous record was previously held by the United States, and in an unbelievable fashion both teams managed to beat this record in a tight race, the previous time being 3:02.14 from 2014. This amazing accomplishment was not only the new IAAF World Indoor Championship record, but also the indoor world record, truly an astonishing accomplishment.
^Although the performance by the US team was better than the official former world record, it was marginally slower than the official US record of 3:01.96 which was not ratified by IAAF as it did not fulfill its anti-doping requirements.
