Agree. Jakob needed an ego check, and he got it... in spades. I was hoping Kerr would hand him a defeat but to have TEAM USA do it is even sweeter.
Nuguse seems like a great guy overall. His face as he crossed the finish line lit up with excitement for Hocker and he immediately went over and congratulated him.
Hope to see all these outstanding runners back on the track in 2028. This has been an amazing Olympics so far for USATF. I remember several years ago there was an Olympics (can't remember which games) that went disastrously for the US men; they've gotten past that, regrouped, and now they're back and better than ever. Credit to the athletes and coaches for making that happen. Now we just have to get our relay exchanges right, and we'll be good to go. No dropping batons this Olympics, please!
