If bolt anchors could he split under 9 seconds?
I actually feel better about the 4x1 now than I did before. We had three of the top 9 guys. We should have a lead on Bolt going into the last leg. It will basically come down to handoffs though.

Why not? It's been done before by slower guys than Bolt.

Because that should warrant a lead on Jamaica who had 3 of the top 6 guys. hah.
ok, sry didn't know that. i'm ignorant. wat will bolt split?
it would be nice if he were forced to run hard the entire way
we don't "got problems", we don't have a chance I'd say. now silver won't be a disappointment anyway.

I say Bolt will split 8.5-8.6 if he needs to for the win, maybe even faster. 8.8 has been done before by 9.8ish guys, who has better starts and excelleration then Bolt. Bolt will be all out which he's shown he's insane at that point in the race.

5.98
Well the changeover has been a problem for the american team in the past. It's not a lock for Jamaica, but they surely are favs.
Jamaica are the favourites, but it's clearly all about changovers. Look who the holders are.

It's also possible Bolt may run the 2nd leg since that is the longest leg. Powell can anchor.

Bob Hayes split 8.6 anchoring the U.S team in 1964!
jamacia is a heavy, heavy favorite on the betting websites, but if you add up the season bests of americas team and jamaicas team, its dead even. it should be an awesome race.i wonder if the americans will throw on spearmon or crawford on the team.
T&T And Brits are in the mix
Bolt will totally drop the Baton and still gain Silver.
But Dix,Gay,Patton and Spearmen?
bolt will run very fast yes, but don't forget powell SUCKED in the finals and has always choked at major champs
gay won't have any issues as he has a flying start and that should not strain his hammie at all
its gong to be a much faster race than some people think....don't forget we got padgett in there too who is a faster 4 then whatever jamaica has got
The U.S. men were never in danger of winning the 4 x 1 anyway.
