I saw this yesterday - it looked to me like Gay might have injured himself in that relay.
What was up with Mo Greene - it looked like he was fairly even with Dwight Howard.
I got the impression that they were just making it look competitive for entertainment purposes. Tyson just looked like he was acting like passing the Shaqtus was a chore for him.
Is it me or does Tyson always look like he is injured after a race? Anyway, I think it was just for competitive tv affect.
Dwight howard looked good but I think Mo was being a good sport also, but then again he was in lane 1, while dwight was in lane 3 so he really did eat up the stagger…
It was good for tv though, track needs more stuff like this in America to start getting more attention.
I agree the exposure is good, but it would be nice for it to be setup in such a way that really allows the amazing speed to actually be showcased.
The link you posted doesn’t seem to work outside of USA, but here’s another one that should work:

It was interesting to see Mo running again. At first I thought: “Oh shit he’s so out of shape”… but well I guess it’s totally normal… In the good ol’ times, he would have destroyed this guy
