4x100 Mens

I think its safe to say if Ireland had a 4x4 relay team we would have a medal here.

I'm sure our boxers could have done the job better then the Brits and Yanks
 
Looks like Jamaica will clean up again. Their performances in the sprint events have really been spectacular.
 
What is it about that 4th change over? When i used to run it was always pretty simple stuff, but here everyone is getting caught out on that junction.
 
How fecking hard is it to NOT drop the baton and just make sure you qualify for the final. Do they not practice?
 
Gay didn't drop the baton, he never got it in his hand in the first place
 
Are Britain out? They changed the last baton well over the line but I didn't see if they were disqualified or not.
 
They were disqualified. Blady shambles.

From what I can understand there is no real clarity in footing rules. We had control of the baton, outside the box, but both feet were in the air - according to the vague relay rules, this is legal. However, it goes with the standard of Chinese officiating this Olympics.

Colin Jacksons negativity is starting to annoy me though. The GB team yesterday were considering an appeal but he said " dont bother, they mucked up, now lets just leave it"..


Oooo sorry Colin
