Fucking shit handoffs.  Can we not practice that shit?

Apparently, no.  No, we do not ever practice handoffs at fucking all for our relays.  That's fucking embarrassing - just spend a few hours on it in the weeks beforehand and we'd have gold.  But no, we're just going to count on pure speed in an event where fumbling around for 3-4 seconds over the race fucks you.

No, the tape some of the runners are wearing when they walk out onto the track.  Half of them drop it there at the locker room exit.

Thought he was asking about the yellow tape on track, which the US was past on their hand-off. Hence, DQ... sigh.

Not saying you’re wrong but Where are you getting this from?

 

I don’t think that’s true at all.

although at this point spending a few hours in the shrink’s office might be the best use of time.

U.S. needs to just get about four of its strongest sprinters, get them to agree to not run in any of the individual sprints, pay them a princely sum for four years, sequester them, and have them train just for this event.  With just a little bit of preparation we'd win every time.

It made my eyes bleed.  I’m half surprised the Chinese didn’t win just to really rub salt in the wounds.

Naw - they rack up all their golds in table tennis (4), badminton (2), diving (7) and shooting (5) - you know, where true athletic ability shines ...

Just venting - but if they are practicing, it would seem they are doing it wrong.

Was waiting for this. It’s usually the default when this happens but never going to happen.

never going to get 4 guys in an individual sport to agree to become a “team” for one event… at least not 4 guys that are fast enough to come close to winning.

Anna. Wtf

You hot as hell. But that was no bueno girl 

No kidding. Total brain cramp. Almost like a swimming relay person jumping into the pool after swimming with the race still going on. Situational awareness

Just tossing this out. Say whatever you want about Lewis but he knew how to win in relays. World record here

 

OJ on the call,  do you still get to put tape down like Lewis is doing in the video?

Wtf did Valby just do?

She started way outside on the back, so she should have been on the lower path...the other runner that was right in front of her is the one who screwed up by taking the outside path.
