… :rolleyes:
Check out the lift over the track surface!
why? 
why what John? why are all three claiming to be No.1? I’d like to know the answer to that also…no, wait…I think it’s just stupidity. The only guy in that picture for whom it makes any sense to make the No.1 gesture is the winner. Surely. The other guys were not No.1. They were second or third. Or are they now disputing the finishing order :rolleyes: 
They’re practicing for the 4x1. Does Jamaica have 4 sub 9.9 guys?
whats his bodyfat percentage?
im sure between 4-6 percent…
yes it was the give us a break guys, enough with a gesture now rendered meaningless comment.
Mortac, yeah the US does set the standard for relay coordination :rolleyes: time will tell though.
the body type of these three runners are all different, im amazed how thick dix is and still running blazing times.
No but they have 2 sub 9.7 guys (mark my words!) and good handoffs. The US gonna drop the stick in the semi’s lol
i hope u not from the usa.
all i can say is, remember when the GB team beat the “all sub 10” USA team and i dont think we had one sub 10 guy…USA will lose again im sure…not to GB this time though. lol
wasnt that long ago…
naw, usa win big time bc powell pull a hammy.
Thats not cool dude…proper bad mind.
Drop a baton,miss change over zone,run into another lane cos lookin at big screen…jinxing a man with an injury is bad mind.
This may have been touched already at some point during the previous 92 pages but…I notice that in quite a few of the snapshots the sprinters are running with their feet pointed outward, i.e. “duck footed.” I’ve been told before that this introduces a braking action to the footstrike and slows you down–is that true? Or does it only apply when the foot not only points out but also “rolls” down (the outer side of the ankle lengthening, moving the footstrike towards the outside edge of the foot and away from the ball of the foot)? Or are both of these conceptions false?
Just very curious, thanks:)

Regarding the relays,
As an American I have no shame in stating that there has been some tumbling tumbling stupidity demonstrated at the US coaching level via the last minute musical (who will run which leg of the race) game played in past events in which the exchange has been foiled.
pat henry will have the boys ready.
It’s not just about coaching, hopefully you realize that. Example, Mo Greene in 04 ran anchor when it should have been Gatlin, who was tired from the rounds. Mo Greene wouldn’t run second leg though and demanded he ran anchor… Terrible change over from 2nd leg to 3rd leg and there you go, silver instead of gold.
Speaking for myself, my athletes can demand all they want yet its me who makes the decisions.
taking into account I am coaching collegiate athletes I should hope a coach of Olympians enjoys the same latitude, and certainly at the Olympic Games!
Charlie, Kit Kat, PJ, any input here?
I find it difficult to entertain the idea of the coach being there simply to offer suggestions without having strategic control over making critical, and more than once, history making decisions. It’s even more difficult to entertain the idea of the athletes assuming this responsibility.
