Tyson Gay got destroyed by Blake

Tyson Gay runs the best when he's COMING OUT of the turn. Go on youtube and there's a shaky video of the mens 4x1 that was recorded so you can see what i'm talking about.

Blake was beating Gay until the last 10-20 meters of the curve where Tyson Gay just slingshots off of it much better than Blake does. Bolt also switches hands and that costs him time so Bailey is a half a meter up on Usain Bolt

If Gay had never gotten injured...believe me Blake would have gotten destroyed but we can't make excuses he tried his best.

Gay is the second fastest man in the world ...Nobody but Bolt has ran faster than 9.69. So until Blake run 9.69 or under there i see no comparison.

Stupid reasonning.

You know who is ahead when they got the baton.

Gay got the baton first and give it last. case closed

Bailey ran quite well, but he had no chance against Bolt. No matter who, anyone was going to lose at least 0.2 on Bolt.

If Gay was his 2009 form he would have kept that distance between him and Blake and gave Bailey a 4meter cushion.

But at that point i think Usain would run an 8.5 relay leg to catch him

The US could have beaten Jamaica even with Asafa Powell on the team.

Justin Gatlin (start), Ryan Bailey, Walter Dix and a 2009 shape Tyson Gay as the anchor man.

This team could have beaten anyone.

Prove me wrong!

Retard, Yohan Blake was a LANE DOWN from Tyson Gay. You get two guys with equal speed and obviously the guy a lane down is going to have the LEAST AMOUNT to run.

Simply geometry. This entire thread needs to go back to High School.

I actually think Tyson Gay ran a FASTER split than Yohan Blake by a couple milliseconds given that the stagger lead he had on Blake was less than that of a 200m stagger start.

I understand and to some extent agree with what you are saying.

That said however, I think Gay might not have trained for the 200 at all before his 100m final.

That could also have impacted the race.

That said, Gay held on despite being in a lane to the outside.

I also think that Frater/Carter, Carter/Blake handoffs were smoother and quicker (flawless actually) compared to Kimmons/Gatlin and Gatlin/Gay.

I think Gatlin/Gay handoff was not good at all. May be I am wrong.

I wanted Jeff Demps on the team today.

YES!YES! Somebody other then me understand why these men and women from "J" are running like horses and I mean like horses! They are doped to the the highest! Yes they have disgraced the sport and trust me higher up knows that they are doping! Everything comes to an end and their end will come! Like Carl Lewis said you just don't run 10.01 and then drop down to 9.69 come on now. Everybody seems to be hyped over his races, I'm not, just like Ben Johnson against Carl Lewis! They know they are doped FORGET the dam "yams" they eat!

Incredible...a retard calling others retards! Have you ever been on a track? Have you ever looked at the exchange lines? The guy (Gay) running on the outside (of Jamaica) had a an exchange zone that started and ended before the Jamaican exchange zone, so "NO", he Gay didn't run further. He just ran slower. Also, the London site still shows the handoffs on their home page. Bolt has his baton and is already running, while Gay hasn't yet handed off to Bailey. Fact is, Bailey ran an incredible leg, saved Gay's butt, and made Bolt sweat it out for a change.

Isn't the reason why Tyson is only do the 100m because he can't handle the curve with his hip? So why was he on the curve? Why didn't gay close?

Wow. After reading that, two words.

Shut up.

You have no idea what you`re talking about. And you have no idea who I am.

To end this speculation..Blake DID destroy Gay on that leg. He was in disbelief. You can see from the handoffs. Blake beat him beat about 0.05. Gay got it ahead by about 0.02.

Bolt switching the baton cost us the 0.03-0.05 so it was even or Bailey had a slight lead. We all know what happened next.

The difference was Frater vs Gatlin. The US thought Gatlin would smoke him on the backstretch just as Felix did to SS yesterday. Frater gave an excellent leg as he got the baton behind and handed off slighlty behind. You can see from the stagger that Kimmons beat Carter on that leg. Frater was almost even with Gatlin.

Bolt was the X-factor....say a prayer for Asafa Sprintgeezer lol...always missing out.

I think all of us know who you are...a retard.

+1

How can we prove you wrong on a hypothetical situation? There is no data for us to use. Men, some of you are just redundant pieces of shit

Let's just say for the sake of argument that Blake did run a faster turn that Gay. Don't forget that Gay did have hip surgery and running the curve puts more pressure on the hip. I'm surprised he's even running as well as he did after making a season debut in June at 10.00, following a lengthy recovery.

If the exchanges were a bit smoother the US would have run 36.9 and Bolt would have had to make up ground. But he took the baton about even with Bailey and he didn't feel pressure.

It also helped that Jamaica had the inside lane, even though their qualifying time was 100th of second slower.

Ilemy--

Nice relay! I still love/hate Powell.

There's still room to improve, though, especially on leadoff. I know Carter's good, but I think that soon, Ashmeade will be better. Carter's been on a downslope since he cleaned up, and Ashmeade's improving.

Frater is under-rated on second, I think it would be difficult to improve on his performance, unless another Bolt came along.

But, nice exchanges! What a great team, I'm glad they ran that team, just like the US women ran the same team as earlier in the year. There really IS a team aspect to the relay, it's not just 4 individuals. I'm glad they stayed together as a team.

Maybe if they run another relay this year, in better conditions, they can go faster--I could see them shaving another .10 off. The best thing about this competition for the Jam team was that they were immediately inside the USA, which in my experience is of huge benefit.

I still don't understand how they assigned the lanes, but oh well. That was great to see, although I still think that something's effed up with the timing, because I'm a bit skeptical about the USA going 37.04 with an inferior 2nd exchange.

No Bailey has a long way to go before he fully develops, which at 23 is looking less and less likely.

His turnover is poor. his form needs huge amounts of work. He actually looks fat, not fast.

If he can fix all these things in the next 2-3 years which is possible he might have a 1-2 year period around Rio where he is untouchable by everyone not named Blake or Bolt.

Could he be the American record holder? Yes, will he with his current state? Nope.
