Unless there's some sort of relay meltdown, US smashes E Germany's record of 31 from 1987, though I would not be surprised if some frozen blood or urine sample undoes somebody four or five years from now.

Even if some of our sprinters are in the juice, I doubt they get caught. Only one athlete I can think of from the US that medaled that could pop a positive at any moment.
Why would that be 'making excuses'? It's just a statement of fact.
No it isn't...there's no evidence it hurt her performance. And what I'm saying about Americans is an even truer fact. There's always an excuse.
Hyperbole much? There is also no evidence it did not hurt her performance; we simply don't know. Only she and her coaches would know to what extent it hurt her, if any. And it's just one variable under discussion; subjectively she just doesn't look as relaxed and easy, could be stress, could be Covid, maybe nursing an injury earlier in the year, who knows. But if you think the Athing Mu who won this evening is the same runner who won Olympic gold last year, you're blind. it's natural for people to wonder what's going on; no one is making excuses. jeez.
