I am watching this on Universal Sports TV and it's a couple of minutes or so behind Wejo's in-person account. Kind of odd.

No idea if you can hear these but here are US 4x800 interviews:
Robby Andrews:
Cas Loxsom
Erik Sowinski and Duane Solomon:
Let me know if you can hear the sound

You've been funny twice this week!
Nice comeback?
You seem upset. What's wrong?
Every aspect of that women's DMR was predictable. I thought Moser would keep it close, then Richards-Ross would build a nice lead and from there it would be game over.
Great run from the U.S. quartet. Just wish Kenya would have sent a real team to at least try to make it interesting. But in all honesty, not many squads are touching that U.S. team.
Wejo, we can hear the interviews. Thanks for the coverage.
World Record for US in DMR as expected.
US could get all 10 golds here - jinx.
3:18, 49.9, 2:00.2, and not sure what Rowbury ran.

4:36 according to announcers
I had Rowbury at 4:27.9. She was way faster than 4:36.
They're handing out the medals awful quick. Isn't there supposed to be a 30 minute window for protests and such?
Yeah do the math, if the final time was 10:36, Rowbury's a lot close to 4:27.9

I must have misheard: xx:36. I thought they said "..:36 for Rowbury" and was pretty sure I heard 4:36

The announcer said 4:36, but she meant the final time, 10:36.
What an insane women's 4x200!
The USA had a humongous lead, but Jeneba Tarmoh and Allyson Felix totally botched the final exchange. Nigeria had the lead and the Bahamas almost made up a ton of ground on the final leg but Nigeria held on for the win.
How insane is it that Tarmoh and Felix (the two women at the center of the 100m controversy at the 2012 Olympic Trials) were the two women involved in the exchange?

Thanks. Makes me feel better.
4x200 tho... Bahamas... USA... Jamaica... oughh
Notice Tarmoh and Felix had not a word to say to each other after
again the results seem official within 1 minute
what if someone reviewed video and found a zone violation or protested a DQ
and that is why you NEVER do a blind hand off in 4x200. Not worth it. 2 years with Dennis Mitchell coaching and thats 2 fails on 4x2 handoffs. Time to find a new relay coach

Agree time for a new relay coach - hey I know a few thousand HS coaches who can teach runners how to get the baton around maybe it is time to get one of them on staff and not this "professionals"
USA doper # 1 ran solid against Jamaica's Doper #1, but it was USA doper number 2 that broke it open. Doper number 3 has always been regarded as one of the best on the curve, and it was over before Jamaica's (doper) # 4 got the stick.
