[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And the medal drought continues for the men’s 4x100. You almost expect it at this point….a botched pass or a DQ. It’s one of those things that’s inevitable, like death and taxes. There really are no excuses for this.

Quincy ran his leg of the 4x4 this morning and, while the time was disappointing, the US got into the final anyway and that’s what matters. He now has some experience competing on the world’s biggest stage, at only 16, and I’m sure will continue to improve time-wise and mentally from here. Definitely hope to see him again in 2028!

Do they not practice exchanges enough? The swimming exchanges seemed clean and I wondered if that's because there are so many ncaa relays.[/quote]

Dunno… I’ve heard that “this team didn’t practice together” and that Lyles being unexpectedly out threw them all off when they had to sub in someone else. But that doesn’t explain the fact that this happens pretty much every Olympics. FWIW the women’s 4x100 almost ended disastrously too but was saved by Sha’carri turning on the jets at the end, so it’s not just the men. But usually it is.

Coaches better pull it together and shore up the baton passing for 2028. We can’t be embarrassed like this again on home turf.

Other than that, great race today from Rai Benjamin in the 400H! Finally, a gold.
