Mccrory's arms were flappin' around like some ridiculous chicken dance. The splits say 49.9, so the time looks good, but she was out of control. The Jamaican was driving straight back and forth... That was the difference. Of course, the argument that if the first two legs had been faster is also valid.

Making your second best athlete a spectator (Francis) in favor of someone about 2 seconds slower is not a strategy I'm aware of Clyde Hart ever using.
Too bad Francis did not go to the right school nor has the right sponsor... except she went to Oregon and is sponsored by Nike.
Hastings went to South Carolina and is sponsored by Under Armour.
Where was the "Evil Empire" when we needed them to exercise some influence?
The reason we didn't win the gold is the inclusion of Sanya Richards-Ross on that relay! If the same person who made the decision to have her run was also the person who did the relay order, "THAT PERSON SHOULD BE FIRED!" Because if they would have only made one mistake then Team USA would have won the relay, but to pass over a couple of women who have been consistent this whole year and not to anchor with Allyson Felix is inexcusable.
