Sure but I am also sure the marketing people at Sam Adams must have fallen on him like a bank safe falling on Wiley Coyote ands made sure he drank a Boston beer...Solidarity is not a matter of well wishing, but is sharing the very same fate whether in victory or in death.

Willi....there must be something said for being just more than 'safe'. Also how do we put numbers to safe...what is fast baton change...etc...in these days of superslow mo cameras, action replyas etc..and scientific coaching, yes, I think we have to be a little more scientific with our relays...let's look at the emprical data...
If you reflect back to champs days(late 70's , 80's) you'll remember teams like Camperdown that had wicked baton changes and WON!
OK, so we win on footspeed - what happens when a team has same footspeed? or slightly marginally better....
We have to win relays on a combination of speed and smooth transition....yes, I know its difficult to get teams together but to go for the WR again may need a camp of sorts....or just more team Jamaica relays...
In the long run - anything can happen...dropped baton, faulty change, running out of the box, lane, etc...
I WANT US TO BLOW AWAY THE WR now when we have our fastest sprinters..fit and ready!Comment

nuh worri yuh-self Exile di idea dat practising di baton exchanges is unimportant...a wan nonsense policy. fool-fool busi-niz dat!"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."Comment

Nobody said that.
I said we cant afford to practice like the French that live and train together all year long, with generous Govt stipends. Dem dont have to make a living in the flat 100m. Dem caan win anyway!
Again I say for those who cant seem to grasp it, since we cant do it the French way, we just need minimal practice time to arrange logistic and let the years of experience take over.
No way footspeed get beaten by the French if footspeed gets average baton changes.
Bolt show you that Friday. HahahahahahahahaComment

Let's use the reverse order on what you said -Originally posted by Willi View Post
a) both teams, USA and Jamaica had a set of poor changes. If the USA had adequate changes and we still had those poor changes Bolt would have followed Spearman home.
They would have run about 37.50+ and we would have done our 37.70.
b) I think the JAAA can broker a deal with Franno, Mills and the other athletes to have us running our best teams a few times each year. ...get the runners some familarity with each other over a longer period. and fine tune at the major meets i.e. at the Olympics and th World Championships.
c) Forget the French and whomever we are seeking best for our athletes and Jamaica!
d) I never said you said we should not work at practising baton exchanges. Your comments speak for themselves.Last edited by Karl; August 30, 2009, 02:58 PM."Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."Comment
