Would have been tough to beat that US team the way they ran. Sanya did a sub-50 on the opening leg for them."It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" - Frederick DouglassComment

Heard the commentator say that. Don't know if they posted the splits yet."It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" - Frederick DouglassComment

Maybe not, she was out slow but had a strong last 150 and might have handed over secondSolidarity is not a matter of well wishing, but is sharing the very same fate whether in victory or in death.

You think it is easy to match a 49-mash leg?
We need to understand that what Sanya did was an exceptional leg and not many people would have expected that from her after her fourth place performance in the 400m race and dont forget that Rosie has been our most consistent performer this season and failed to get past the semis.Solidarity is not a matter of well wishing, but is sharing the very same fate whether in victory or in death.

Whyte dash wheh wi gold.. our 3rd leg ran the fastest split in History.. the 1st leg was bad enough to negate that.. Whyte is definitely off form.. damn shame.. we had the quality to do it..Comment

It appeared to me that on that first exchange Rosie slowed (lost concentration? ...or scared of error?) before handing over...and that separation by the USA at the change over was key for them - bad fo us...
The US run better n terms of that 1st 80M - 'separation time' - then we did. We lost - or at least we would have been closer on each leg during those crucial first 80M - I think, right there.
All our ladies ran very, very well!
50. change on that 1st leg by Rosie was very, very good. Just puts Sanya's great leg in perspective.
For those who have not run this race - That 1st leg is a killer! I cannot actually explain why that is so... - after all it is still 400M - but it has proven time and again to be the 'hardest' to match your flat time."Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."Comment
