FIRE DENNIS MITCHELL

Canada was more devastated in 4th

Last pass to bromell hurt my soul

Elusive white speed!

Yes!!!!!! I a half-Asian I am so proud. Kiryu = ONE OF THE FASTEST CLEAN SPRINTERS EVER

De Grasse makes Bromell look pedestrian!!

Given the population pool, focus on athletics and funding available Canada is FAARRRR more talented per capita!

Has there ever been a 4x100m race that had 6 teams under 38 seconds before?

Bromell last couple of steps were on the line. Possible USA DQ.

The amount of a$$ the Jamaican men's team is going to be getting...so jelly I'm jam-in.

Replay shows Cambridge stepping on the line at least twice.

Dennis Mitchell!

Woohoo.

You are officially the worst sprint coach ever.

I really don't want to sleep with Ms. S Hightower,

But if that is what it takes to beat Japan....

Bromell has been injured all year. He's set for achilles surgery when he returns to the US.

give it a rest chump.We got our first medal since 1996 in sprinting. Enjoy the success, but we're not exactly a superpower. (I"m Canadian too).

Why was Brommell running? He's hurt

Even though he's injured he's probably faster than the alternates.

All year? Wasn't hearing that when he did 9.84 at the trials lol

Japan had a phenomenally efficient relay. None of their four runners are sub-10 sprinters. One might joke that their Jamaican-Japanese anchor carried them, but in fact he only has the 3rd fastest 100m PB of their team.

NBC just reported US DQ'd

You can't make this up
