Take 4x100 relay split times with a grain of salt, but this was how the U.S. women fared for each of their legs, vs. Jamaica -
1) Jefferson 11.35, Nelson 11.45
2) Steiner 9.86, ETH 10.10
3) SFP 9.97, Prandini 10.05
4) Jackson 9.66, TT 9.88
In short, Jefferson won the battle of the youngsters, Steiner picked up a lot of surprise ground, Prandini was just as surprising in staying very close to SFP and TT did about as well as she could in holding off the world 200 meter champ.
What a great ensemble performance by the U.S. women. They worked very well as a team.
Not sure where you got your splits, but Melissa gave us a lead and Steiner basically maintained. There is no way SAFP ran faster than Prandini; Pardini was the star of that relay, she gave TT a 10-meter lead.
