1 day ago 07/22/2022 9:16pm CDT re: XY ReplyBack To Index I watched the slo-mo of the M4x1 and the US got lucky on the last exchange...Hall almost ended up mounting Bracy, and not in a jovial way! They better fix that before the final.
Unfortunately it was a prophesy not just a warning.
Watch the final hand off. Just before handing the baton off Canada steps over the inside line very clearly. Should have been a DQ for Canada.
You can step on or over one time. Multiple is when you're DQ'd. And they wouldn't let teams get away with that. They can watch replays. Canada lost a bronze in the Olympics because of this. 2012 I think.
Lyles probably had the best leg and the best handoff of any of the 4 runners. Final exchange was the one that lost the race.
Bracy should not have been on the team. I said this from day one. Degrasse is just coming back from being sick, dropped out of the 200 because the fitness isn't there, and Bracy still couldn't edge pass him. Lyles should have been the one on anchor to get the job done.
Canada's Andre De Grasse came up clutch in the anchor leg of the men's 4x100m relay final, holding off America's Marvin Bracy-Williams to win gold and force ...
Why no bromell or knighton? Especially knighton on the 3rd leg. That kid runs the turn like a maniac, why didn’t he get the ball?
Knighton is great at running the turn, but has he ever run an elite level 4x100? Or even a fast one? Kid just finished high school, I can't imagine he's got tons of good relay experience yet.
Knighton to Lyles can eventually be devastating, but Erryon doesn't even know how to set his blocks for the 200, much less handle the stick in major meet.
Same story for like the last 30 years. Not willing to put their egos behind them and practice handoffs enough and doing them at full speed. Same old story.

A lot of high school teams execute baton passes better than the US national team.
