Canada beats USA mens 4x100M

US officials should have filed a protest if that was the case.

What is this, like 50x now? You know better than the officials? Would you please just STFU?

Like you said!!

this was a huge race for de grasse as he wasnt going to win any of the individual events. in general most of the dudes running relays will never have a chance to podium in an individual event so im sure they take their participation very seriously. even tho the US mens team isnt made up of the top guys they clearly still have an arrogant approach to this event and it shows with the sloppiness. its really that simple. you cant expect to win just by showing up.

This 37.48 was a new national record for the Canadian team.

Not sure why they list it only as WL. Should be NR.

Previous national record was 37.64 at the 2016 Olympics. The team of

Akeem Haynes
Aaron Brown
Brendon Rodney
Andre De Grasse

They didn't face our A team and everybody knows that.

No Kerley, no Bromell, that hurts.

This is the best news Ive heard all week

Why don't you start a riot before they make the results official?

Reminds me of the 1996 Olympics when Donovan Bailey and the quarter beat the USA in the 4 x 100m relay.

They called it an 'upset' back then also. Upset my ass. Canadians spanked them then and spanked them now.

US ran 37.55 secs.

That's not bad, no?

Why was Bromell not in it?

Remember that splits include time spent dealing with handoffs. Lyles very poorly judged Coleman's incoming speed and spent a large portion of the zone far below top speed. It was his handoff that allowed him to be eaten up on the backstretch.

And as poor as this handoff was, it was sterling compared to the final handoff. Typical U.S. thinking speed is the only thing that matters in the 4 X 100 relay.

9th best ever by a US team.

The US have gone faster than 37.48 five times

I guess middling for the USA for the races they finish.

They have only gone faster than 37.48 three times in the last 29 years.

They certainly did not run well. But they did not run poorly either.

It's not good when you have 4 guys under 9.9 and 3 guys 19.80 or better.

USA had all 3 medalists and 4 finalists in the 100 and still couldn't win. I know Kerley might be hurt, but what the actual f*ck.

It is ridiculous. Imagine taking all of the best sprinters in the world and picking teams for relays. The US had 1-2-3 in 100 and 200 so they would likely be the 1st 6 picks on 6 different teams if choosing sides. Yet we got the 1st 6 picks. Everyone else would go home if teams were picked not based on country and one team got the top 6 guys.

same deal-sure in '96 Canada had Bailey and Surin then as their stars, but Glenroy Gilbert a 10.2-10.3 guy scorched Harden for the U.S on the 2nd leg and the USA had crappy handoffs then also-teamwork makes the dreamwork!
