I wasnt paying attention and my 9 year old daughter made me rewind it
Synchronized Sprinting...FINALLY a judged T/F event to bring proper drama to the sport!
Too funny! Thank you for posting. Lyles, Norman, and Benjamin seem like they are going to be a lot of fun.
bumping this, it's pretty great. finally got around to watching the meet off my dvr and it jumped right out at me
My guess is they aren't doing it for a bit of fun, but it's a mind trick they've gone through with their sports psychologists. It's more obvious in other sports like tennis - notice that athletes do the same routine before every serve (one that stands out in my mind is Sharapova, as much as I hate to draw attention to her). Bolt had the same routine when he got into his blocks every time. There's is likely just the same because they train together/have the same coach

Team running might actually be a cool event. Say in the 5K each country gets two or three runners and the final results are the average of your team's runners times. It would take team tactics to a whole new level.

Wait, the tweet or the actual meet as you watched it live?

I would think that Nadal would be the person people would first think of when thinking of elaborate routines before a serve. His is far more complex and ridiculous than hers.
Watching it live.

The ideal for this is the roads Olympics marathon with the runners wearing earpieces and team coaches following behind in cars.
