Baton screw-ups
If we are going to depend primarily on the USA messing up the baton change as they did in the finals in 2004 (they failed to even make the finals in 2008), we are leaving in a dreamer’s world. The USA is determined to prove a point, and despite the mishap in the relays with Tarmoh a few weeks ago, I suspect the USA is going to go for safe passes.Originally posted by Islandman View Post
This time, we won’t have any ridiculous height differential as was the case with Marion Jones and Lauryn Williams in 2004!
I have always maintained that it would be nice to see Jamaica racing across the finish line with the USA hot in pursuit! This has never happened in either the men’s or women’s 4x100-meter relay, despite Jamaica winning global gold medals in 1991, 2004, 2008, 2009 and 2011.

Well, one can dream can't they! LOL
Unfortunately if they don't mess up the changes I do not think we have a chance of winning.They have more foot speed than us right now, without question, and we aren't exactly known for efficient changes."It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" - Frederick DouglassComment

"Will"....
Hortical, boss, remember Seville 1999 and Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004? I hesitate to use the word “will” when it comes to, in particular, the 4x100-meter relay (lol)!Originally posted by Hortical View Post

She has ran better times this season than she has done for for the last 3 seasons.
yes she didn't make the team but she is a good relay runner.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth. Life is for living and I won't spend my life feeling cheated and downtrodden.
