She did not even make the US final. The ruined the relay.

Cause she is Sanya Richard Ross
Hightower gettin turnt up!
SRR is an amazing athlete and very decorated - but the nationals are run for a reason - she took the place of a fitter runner - completely unfair and it cost us gold - the decision maker on this choice should be gone - our USA system has always been fair - politics ruin it
Seriously, How did SRR get placed in the relay pool after not making the US final? What is the protocol? How does Hastings un in the final over Francis after Francis made WC final and Hastings did not?
because the leadership of usa track teams - head coaches and assistants - are awful. i'd love to see a proven and experienced coach with a strong relay background coach in rio - i nominate stanley redwine - amazing reputation and a wise coach - great motivator - classy dude
She could have retired a hero, but ran long enough to see herself become the villain.
(i'm not a jayhawk...just know redwine's track record at ark...tulsa..and kansas..)
felix's leg...if she had run next to ross's leg...would've been almost 30 YARDS better !!!
I agree that Nationals should decide the team but it isn't like she isn't fit this year.
She ran 49.95 this year and is the third fastest American.
Plus she won a race in mid July after USATF.
USATF has often put runners on the 4X4 that didn't run the 400 U.S. final.
Michael Johnson in 1992. Bershawn Jackson , etc.
Phylis Francis should had been in the line up!! She earned that spot!!

49.95 in early May.
Why was Allison Felix running it. She is a 100/200 sprinter.

Yards? What's that? Also, I found it interesting that NBC showed results in feet. It felt like an insult to T&F fans watching.
i'm sorry - hope you can possibly forgive me...27-28 meters better...how's that?
an insult? most people can relate to both measurements...so much hate in the world...gotta have arguments about inches-feet-yards-mm-cm-meters, too?...dang...take it easy, broseph
