I actually feel like the hurdles is a waste of her supreme talent
50.37 with hurdles man
We have a rough sense of how fast Bol is and syndey must have at least a few tenths, she's def at least up there with Paulino, I think she could go sub 48
It would be close between Paulino and SML right now. I think SML might win.
As the incoming runner approaches, everything is magnified as there are a ton of guys bearing down on you. As they approach everything is magnified and a flight or fight dynamic kicks in. So relay practice does two things. It helps to figure out the optimal place to put your mark and curbing of the flight syndrome.
Secondly there can be a bit of confusion if incoming runners are dressed similarly. You can leave early if you mistake the approaching runner as your team mate.
Well everyone else managed to pull it off; certainly it's harder than it looks but this is a thing for the US time and time again, ridiculous.
Because other teams practice practice practice. Look at China and Japan. There are no sub 9 guys on their teams and they challenged for a medal.
I’m not super knowledgeable about the w Hept. Is there any chance that Anna Hall can move up to 3rd ? I know she can run a strong 800, but is the too far behind to outscore the couple athletes ahead of her?
Absolutely awful. How hard is it to watch until the guy hits the tape and go? Bednarek was so early and Kerley looked like he was starting the long jump with those slow first steps.
It is a lot harder than many of you think.

Makes sense, and I certainly underestimate the psychological factors of being in an olympic final. It seems like Bednarek probably hasn't done relay duty since highschool, since he went to a JUCO. Definitely a hard stage to start up again
I'm so stoked that it's Paulino. She's been paying her dues, improving bit by bit for years. Until now a hadn't gotten the sense that I knew how fast she could run because she tends to run fast enough to win.

They said she'd have to beat the athletes currently in 3rd and 4th by over 8 seconds. That's a lot to ask. Not impossible, but a lot to ask
