Just go's to show that in a relay race teamwork and experience count for more than individual talent. Not a single member of Canada's squad qualified for a final in either the 100 or 200 meter sprints but they still get the baton around the track faster than anyone else. 😊

It helps that Canada always uses (when possible) the same four sprinters, rather than throwing together a team for the Olympics. Canada has won a medal in the last three Olympics. The only country to win more than one in that time.

Don't forget that Canada was also in the worst lane for the 4x100 race. They raced blind while the other teams could see their competitors.

@@innov13 Why would it be worse? You have a more gradual turn and only have to worry about runners on one side. The inside lane is the worst, because it is such a tight turn.

Speed means NOTHING if you can't pass the stick...Canada, while decently fast, each guy, has some of the cleanest transitions! They know when to start, the receivers hand is always in the ready position, and the passer doesn't (or rarely) has to fumble to get it to target. Clinical is what I'd say. Who? Canada!! Who? CANADA!! WHO?! C-A-N-A-D-A!! Great job on the gold gents!

I think they really need a hungry and dedicated team for their relays. They have so many guys who can run well.....(like prolly Micah, Laird, Boling and Courtney would surely have a better result.) The elite guys should rather take part in the mixed relays. Coleman would have got his gold there.

It would be interesting to find out how often the US 4 X 100 team practices. If I had to guess, I would think it is not very frequent as they are more focused on their individual events as opposed to the relay. The glory and the money go to individual athletes, not really to teams, in the US.

By their own admission the Americans do not heavily train in the relays and have a history of being DQ’d for everything from lane violations dropping the baton and so on whereas the Jamaicans and Canadians train a lot for relays to be a cohesive unit. The American women do a considerably better job and it shows

Every runner usually looks over their left shoulder when in their stance. From other different replay angle i saw it looked like Bednarek was looking between his legs with his head sort of upside down. Pretty sure he confused the guy in lane 6 as Coleman because of his odd method of looking behind. When Kenny started running, the lane 6 guy was exactly in line with the piece of tape he put in lane 5. Since lane 6 was on a stagger, that caused his early running head start.

Some players never understand that it's not how fast you run. It's how fast you run together as unit and how you work together as a unit. Passing a baton may seem easy but when you're under pressure and time crunch while also running at blazing speeds then you need to work together. Team USA should've practiced the pass more.
