Why can't I have a personal opinion? Plus what part of my statement was false.

You really don't understand why a "journalist" may not want to be spouting off there personal opinion on the same site they post articles and serious threads if they want to be taken for an unbiased journalist?

has the re-race already been run? i'm seeing the iaaf twitter feed says they re-ran and advanced. nothing about the time

He meant 7 pm Eastern DAYLIGHT Time, which is 6 pm Eastern Time. Gotta account for daylights savings time. Time is a complex subject unless we all switch to universal time.

No truth to the story that Jeneba Tarmoh will replace Felix in the runoff.

boo-f-ing-hoo.

I don't know if this has been posted yet, I'm not going to read this entire thread, but why did China have to be DQ'ed for the US to get into the final? This is exactly why they run meets like this on a 9-lane track, so that if there's a problem like this they can put all the teams that have earned a spot in the final in plus one team that was fouled. And there is precedent - in London 2012, the Kenyan men's 4x400 fouled the South African team, and SA DNF'ed the semi. Kenya was DQ'ed, but SA got to run the final, and 9 teams ran that final.

Allyson is the lifetime darling but Tori Bowie would have a chance to go home in her first Olympics with all 3 color of medals.

With the 4x400 heats tomorrow just ~1hr before the 4x100 finals, will Tori get a leg of the 4x1 final while Allyson runs the 4x400 heat?

The 9 lanes do not circle the entire track

If this makes you sad (your pathetic attacks) then you are beyond hope in your silly life, go fight windmills

TOTALLLY UNFAIR!!

US 4x100 relay women had to run TWICE to qualify, everyone else only once!

They will be tired in the finals.

The anti-USA sentiment is clear.

If Bowie runs the anchor leg (like the NBC dipsticks suggest during the telecast), will Allyson run in the 4x400 heats or the 4x1 final? She can't do both an hour apart. ANSWER ME!

She is going to rabbit the 800 so Caster can get the WR.

R u guys even watching? wrote:

When Felix was coming in, the Brazilian started running. She had wide arms and Felix was knocked off balance by those. Couldn't catch up with that momentum shift and tried to toss it ahead. Tough loss. Maybe they get in on appeal.

Well observed, I watched it live and didn't notice that.

They've got McCorory and Okolo on the relay pool, in addition to Felix, Francis, and Hastings. Don't think they'd turn down a medal.

Where can we see the video of the race?

amen, Coach.

Felix is tired. She's run a bunch of heats, and she's at the end of her career.

Remember Angelo in the 2012 IH? He faded in the homestretch. So what do the coaches do? They made him the anchor for the 4 x4...and he faded in the homestretch.

Forget history, forget all the medals in the past. Who has the fresh legs RIGHT NOW? And isn't the relay pool made up of 1 thru 6 in the Trials final? No Felix, and a couple recent college runners who run relays in their sleep.

looks like they qualified in the re-run. Here comes the protest from China.

apparently the relay time was changed. It already happened at 6 pmET. We missed it.

So they did not have to finish the race to file and win a protest as once she was interfered with that was enough. Had to run the same runners in the same order so no "subs" in the same Lane. Gardner still leaving too early!!?!! Felix doesn't have to run the 4x400mr qualifier today/Fri. for them to make the finals. She probably will run the 4X100mr final today /Fri and then the 4X400mr final the next day Sat.
