think they should have switched Mclaughlin and Muhammad considering Muhammad gets out super hard while Syd makes late charges.
This is what I had thought.
Though Syd has a lot of experience with 200m starts, 100h starts, etc. so she should be able to utilize them very well.

I mean Sydney led off with 49.96.
Sydney had the longest leg.
Athing has the longest legs.
Put Gabby Thomas on that team and they know they can threaten the WR at Worlds and Sydney wakes up.

And did you know she won 11 more medal than you and ran in 5 more Olympics than you did.

I think you've maybe conflated a disdain for NBC's caricaturistic flattening of an American legend's personality with a disdain for the actual athlete. While it is impressive and inspiring that she's able to perform at an elite level while raising a family, the media's need to mention it every time she comes up becomes kinda worn after the 100th iteration. Like I get it, she's an Olympic HERo, but she's also one of the best US sprinters ever and it'd be nice if that portion of her identity got spotlighted maybe once during the multi-week coverage. The Olympics are the biggest track meet in the world though, perhaps that's not the right spot to highlight her athletic accolades.

syd didnt have much pop. she handed off either tied w 3 other teams or behind
Was this the first time a 4x4 at the olympics was made up of 4 individual Olympic champions. Pretty incredible.

Yes. In 2024 it might be the same thing again, if Gabby can up her game to 200 gold and step into the relay. Would like to see some short sprinters like her get meaningful 4x4 reps so they can prove they belong.

well, at least the people in tv seemed to think it was the first time.
It’s crazy that none of them were gold medalists in the open 400
The team won gold by a large margin.
What exactly is the issue?
Standing start vs running start. SM split more impressive.

People wanted a world record.
Considering the open time as compared to the split time for Felix, it is obvious that Warholm would have won the open 400.
