Not only is a gold medal in the relay a real possibility, bu
the world record in the 4x100 would be icing on the cake!

Probably won't. We only practice baton changes the day of the relays, it seems. Meanwhile, countries like Poland, Japan and Brasil have been running teams in these meets, not to mention the USA. No wonder Poland, Japan and Brasil always have very good teams even as they struggle to get one athlete into the flat final.

Very good point, Mosiah!Originally posted by Mosiah View Post
In fact, I'm going to stretch my neck out now and predict that poor baton passing is going to snatch the men's 4x100-meter relay gold from us in Beijing! The JAAA and the other shortsighted people already know what every school child alrady knows, and this is that footspeed alone cannot do it!! (Just look back at the most recent USA performance -- the 2004 Olympic in Athens. Britain, and not the USA won that 4x100-m gold medal. The secret was flawless baton passing!)
But yet we continue in the old tested and failed ways!! Sigh....Comment

In 2004, the US runner also did NOT run well.

To be fair to our team though, the USA probably does not practice baton changes much either. When a country has athletes that are all vying for medals, what are they chances they take time out to practice?! Brazil, Japan and Poland can do that!
