I didn’t know Shelly Ann-Fraser pulled out her phone to take pics after the US national anthem played

With Kerley injured they probably wanted to use the silver medalist on the anchor legs.

meh.

yeah, would rather the gold medalist to run the anchor.

plus this nikka on that bullshyt anyway.... let me say something to divert the focus off us failing again

Abby Steiner - The Great White PAWG came through clutch!



Shericka Jackson is insane. Nothing else to say

Those are not 100% accurate as far as who ran the fastest each leg. It’s a little more to it than that. For instance we didn’t get the lead until 3rd leg and Shelley did not outrun Jenna

Relay doesn't work like that.

Kerley is injured. And Lyles the strongest runner is where you generally put your strongest/fastest sprinter on the back straight as form has to be held the longest on all the legs.

The US problem isn't speed it's chemistry and not being well drilled as a unit. You could have 4 9.80 sprinters on the relay but if they do poor exchanges all that speed counts for nothing if your trying to win gold.

Why the hell have Bracy run the anchor?!!? lol

He didn’t do bad. He just wasn’t running down Andre. We had two bad passes imo

Yeah Great Britain is a great example

Doubt Athing Mu can run the 400. She has 800 just an hour prior. I just know my great white PAWG is on that second leg again

Abby can't run the 400.

Why the hell have Bracy run the anchor?!!? lol

And why was Brommell not on the relay team? They should have replaced Elijah Hall with Brommell in the final.

Didn't say anything about who outran who.

Just appreciating Abby Steiner

 

[Suzie]

Abby can't run the 400.

Says who?

 

[African_brehda]

Abby can't run the 400.

 

[King Static X]

Says who?

As much as I love Abby, 400 is not her specialty (whether the flat or the hurdles). Also, she would be usurping the 400m specialists on Team USA that made it.

 

[triplehate]

It's wild that people have any reaction to the mens team not winning gold. Not winning is the normal now

 

[Playaz Eyez]

This is literally the race that put her on the map

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

This ain’t a college meet. How about she focus on placing in her actual event, the 200, before trying to get her on the world stage in a 4?
