Brutal to set a WR and then not win gold

I wonder if Sydney didn’t put her name in or if the coaches didn’t want her there or what because leaving her out is just stupid

Femke Bol is always a killer....

Except for that one time she fell at the finish line, she's clutch AF.

What happened to teams staggering their lineup differently! Woke optics?

TV embarrassed watching dudes blow by female runners who had 40 yard leads in 5 seconsds.

The order is outlined. Someone tried getting cute a few years ago and went with a female anchor against men and got embarrassed.

Or is it outlined what order you have to do?


You used to be able to but not anymore. There's a gif of Michael Cherry cooking some other country's female runner because of it

Femke would have dog walked anyone in the world not named Sydney McLaughlin there.

We needed a bigger lead

Honestly looking back on it the gap on the Netherlands was there going into that leg. I’m not even sure there was anything we could’ve done there to change that outcome. Bol is just an animal.

Looked like Deadmon underperformed. Just glad we still have the OR/WR still I guess.

shite like this hurts so much more to watch when you know one of the runners. Thankfully Norwood should be on the A team 4x400 but still.

That’s the only thing I think may have helped but even then that’s a lot of pressure to put on someone that young man. Especially after we set the world record yesterday I wouldn’t want to be the coach telling deadmon he’s getting pulled.

I don’t think anyone asked her too. Nor should they have.

Why would we not ask? You don't want your best out there in the Olympics?

This mixed relay isn’t really a priority. Maybe for countries like the Netherlands that have few medal aspirations but our athletes have bigger fish to fry. Hence why we were running the group we did there.

I wonder if we thought “well that group got the world record so we’ll stick with them”.

Femke Bol is really freaking good.
