I’m listening to the other feed what’d he say?

Damn, that sucks how Anna Hall fricked up her best ever javelin throw by not paying attention to where that line was.

Okay for the last 3 Olympics I have asked why the USATF doesn’t set a team and go a year before
Watching what just happened it’s got to be put in place now
Bernarik and crew deserve better

Said don’t blame the athletes blame the system that put them in a poor position. Pointed out when Lyles scratched that they should’ve just replaced the anchor and not reorder the whole bunch.

Carl was literally yelling during the relay
Said the coaches fricked up by changing the entire order instead of just the anchor spot with Noah dropping out
Also said the entire system of relays is fricked

Wonder how much NBC making her a huge face of the Olympics added pressure.
When being pretty backfires.

Damn, gotta love Carl Lewis calling out USATF for its dumbassery in the 4x100 shot show.

The first handoff was pure comedy. Kenny came to a complete stop
When your leadoff leg is actually ahead of the second leg at the handoff... Mistakes were made
It's a joke at this point. 1/3 of the 100m finals field and you can't even get a medal in the 4x

What's the reason for her not going solo in 400m?
During her interview the other day (last night?) they alluded to the fact that the qualifying races would have interfered with the hurdles. She did not appear to confirm, but she did not deny.
She also said it's 2 completely different races and the preparation for each is different.

Is it me or does the Chinese shut putter look a bit like Kim Jong Un?

The issue is they’re not preparing for every possible outcome. They’re married to one thing and if it doesn’t pan out they’re sent in a tailspin. You have 8 guys there. Yea have your plan for your main group but spend at least a small amount of time figuring up backups and practicing for a bit so you can get timing down. I know that takes time and everything but it’s better than getting embarrassed like this.

Gonna need LA to reorder those 400s so she can run both.

We did a conditioning while at LSU one time
10 400m sprints with 90 second break in between each one
No time requirement for each individual 400m
Total time though had to be under 12 minutes
Was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I felt like I was legit oxygen deprived at the end. We had some guys that legit almost passed out
No kidding. Do the math on that. 12x60=720/10= 72 seconds or 1min 12sec per 400m. A 60sec 400m is work. Now do 10 of them. That 10th one must have been brutal.

Bobby Kersee camp is notorious for a light race schedule.
I'm sure that has as much to do with anything.

It’s not like this is a one off ever since Atlanta the M 4x1 has been a clown show
When Clive Hart and people like Bobby Kersee had a say the relays were great
I don’t know what should change except running a solid team at all big meets

Also seemed like Carl was so pissed off he didn't want to go off on live tv.

I mean when you think about it that’s 6 400m races in one week. 3 of them with hurdles. That’s not even factoring the relay leg you’d probably be asked to run.
I wouldn’t want to do that shite either.

For most of us 4-7 were the absolute killers. We were afraid of the last ones so we crushed those middle ones to have left over time. It was AWFUL
My last one was easy. I think I had like 1:45 seconds or so to finish it
I’m not lying when at the end it felt like my head was in a pressure chamber. Like no oxygen could get to it. Every breath felt like it wasn’t enough

Is Hart still alive? Maybe they can bring him in just for a really consultant. Even if he's 90, he's better than what we have had for the last 15 yrs.
