If the baton did drop it woulden bad. But it never did drop! How do you run out of the lane when you know where the borderline is?

I could never figure that out, but then again, I was only a Class 3 hurdler.

Bwoy if there ever was a Dream Team this was it. Places 1-2-2 in the 100m and 1 in the 200m. Arguably the 4 fastest women in the world on the same team.

So it go sometimes, but it still hurt like hell!

The exact thing happened to the USA women at the Athens Olympics in 2004!!! In Athens, Lauryn Williams moved off to fast and so Marion Jones couldn't get the baton in her hand. By the time there was some degree of connection, Lauryn had run out of the 20-meter exchange zone.

The same thing happened this morning. Kerron went off too early, and by the time she heard Sherone calling her back and slowed down, it was too late. She missed the baton, but even if it had connected then (belatedly), it would have still been too late, as she had already run out of the zone.

Only five teams finished this frigging relay!! Jamaica, Great Britain and Poland did not finish.

This is the worse day of my life for 2008, and I am NOT going to watch the men's 4x100-meter relay. I'll get the damn results here or elsewhere.

They should have slowed down, play it conservatively. They would still have won.

Historian its a pity that you are NOT going to watch history being created today.
