How do they figure who gets gold at the vault if they all fail at this height?
 
Dear GAF,

She's ours, bugger off.

so because they were late on a baton pass they got DQ'd?? Wouldn't that make them slower?


it makes no sense.

unless I am misunderstanding.

No, I think he's saying that the guy started running outside of the baton pass area, as in he started before he should have, giving him more space / time to hit top speed I guess.
 
okay so correct me if I'm wrong

when you do the second and third change over you're suppose to stand in the position your runner is in

so when it came to the second one GB were 4th as they came round the bend and you can see the runners are in the correct order (from right to left)


on the next change over when go round the corner the GB runner is actually 1st BUT is overtaken on the bend by the runner from the Bahamas so technically the GB runner is in the wrong position but the rules say you're not allowed to move so they have to stay where they're put

GB is in the right position. It's based on order round the bend. Position changes down the straight don't effect it, I've seen more than enough of GB overtaking down the straight then having to go out to lane three to hand over to know that.

he passes him like 3/4 way round the bend though. I think that's the problem.

I don't actually know but I can't see anything else wrong.
 
What are they showing on NBC right now? I want to make sure I'm watching the right stream online, lol. Don't want to miss Bolt.
 
Man the British commentators are so much better than the U.S. ones. They at least have some character. Haven't seen track until today but world of a difference.
 
Jamaica with the "You are already dead" pose. Loved Japan's sword pose. It's a a GIF in the making. I think Bolt and co are going to crush it again and destroy the US.
