Why do you leave so early there? Christ.

Imo relays are an afterthought to the US so we just win it with talent instead. Other teams actually practice their exchanges and have pretty consistent lineups


They need to rethink this. These should be near automatic wins for podiums.

that would have been insult to injury if China would have won. What a clusterfrick.

We’re now adding baton passing in a relay to every PE class from now on.

I imagine Lyles being a scrap threw things off. I doubt this was the order they were planning on.

I don't understand how it is possible that we are so bad at this.

This is unacceptable. Serious changes need to be made in how we approach relays before LA28. Anything less than Gold in LA will be unacceptable.

Lost by .39 seconds when your 2nd leg had to come to a complete stop. Would be better to just jog in the 2nd-4th legs just to make sure the exchanges are clean.

I don't think any of those guys train together. The only time they do these relays is during Penn or Texas Relays

We frick it up every time. We could've had the planned relay team then dropped the baton or some shite. The women doing it successfully, even if shaky, was a clear omen of an impending frick up by men.

Could we, theoretically, have guys that specialize in just relay?

I swear have we ever had an Olympics where our relay teams didn't frick up a handoff.

Even the women had an awful handoff at the win but thankfully Sha'Carri was too fast for that to matter

So disappointing... These guys have God's gift but just couldn't pass that baton correctly...

We should just scrap men’s relays.


We should probably practice exchanges

oh yea I’m sure it would’ve been something else if not that. That’s just the only way Kenny leaving that early makes sense to me. Seemed like his timing was matched up for someone else

Color guy for NBC has been a moron multiple times this week. It took him 10 minutes to realize Kung Fu left early.

Really needed that one. May struggle to catch China.
