USA always changing their lineup, no chemistry is there. Look at Canada the same 4 dudes ran their relay for almost a decade now

Canada won Bronze in 2016 Silver in 2020 and Gold in 2024. It’s called Team Work! They earned their Gold Medal and deserved it. Proud to be Canadian 🇨🇦

Thanks for the track content this week Uncle and Ocho ! As a Jamaican 🇯🇲 i appreciate the criticism and good recognition you give our little island. Don’t let a couple idiots on twitter speak for the whole island tho .. we actually show real good love to US sprinters when they come run in Jamaica.. even Lyle’s gets his recognition in 🇯🇲 .. that being said there’s a great young flock of 🇯🇲 sprinters coming up and we should be better in the 28’ LA games. Can’t wait !

I was taught by my coach in the 70s the following: the person receiving the baton looks back ONLY ONCE before receiving the baton. Their hand always stays in a position that is ready to receive the baton by "FEEL" not sight as they start to run. It is the responsibility of the person with the baton to make sure the runner has the baton in their hand without fumbling. This takes a LOT of practice, but it will take seconds off your time and get you to the finish line (99% of the time) before everyone else. I'm 67 years young and never forgot this method.

One of the most important parts of a relay team is CHEMISTRY why do you think Jamaica dominated for so long because they rarely changed out their lineup and practiced together for years the U.S. just puts 4 guys on the track and tell them to go out there and win

[justinlong]

Pretty disappointing Canada gets no respect even when they win. They won the world championships two years ago too. It's always the Americans lost it Canada didn't win it.
Come on Canada's four runners deserve some respect!!

Props for Christian for not throwing his teammate under the bus. However, Kenny left too early and he exceeded the launch zone (disqualifying them immediately). The hand-off coach should be fired, it's unacceptable for this to happen multiple times on the biggest stage. We literally learn how to pass the baton's correctly in grade school.

Unc, you can't put other teams down saying we are better when clearly we aren't. Those other teams got the baton around without issue. So who's really better? You can have all the talent in the world, but if you can't get a clean hand off, what's the point of your talent? Congrats to Canada. They understood the assignment.

FYI, every time Andre DeGrasse has got the stick tied or in the lead, he has never lost! Definition of a closer, run faster for the team than he does on his own, the Ultimate relay runner.

If you watched the replay Ato Boldon did a beautiful replay of how they messed up..Bednarek left way too early, didn't wait for Coleman to hit his mark which was taped yellow on the track. Disappointing is understatement

[SirePeabody]

Feel bad for Coleman .. dude at least could have got a medal in this relay .. always falls short

[ianm]

Feel bad for Coleman, ran such a great leg

[ChasExplorz]

Bednarek ran a 9.88 in the 100m final so speed wasn't an issue. "We talkin bout PRACTICE?"

[scanner]

Remember Canada and the UK and South Africa who finished first and second and third didn’t have a runner or a medalist in the 100m race, meaning practice is everything

[JCreole]

6:18 Helluva embarrassing losing to Japan and China…this ain’t gymnastics 😂

[hussainrashaan]

🇨🇦 Andre De Grass is different! Also, America just has a bunch of guys that think they’re that guy ! Canada has won this competition in the world athletics two years ago and now in the Olympics it’s not by fluke !

[joelktm]

Im not going to lie my grade school relay team had much better handoffs than these professionals 😂😂

[wilburhoffman]

Mike Marsh changed the relay. They ran 37.4. You don't change nothing in the finals. Bad coaching. Kenny did not work with Christian. No. The steps was way off. He left before Christian hit the mark.

[Octobersown_]

The men’s US performance in that 4X100 pissed me off beyond belief! Yall need to get it together!

[deaddropholiday]

In US athletics everyone is in business for himself far more than what you see in other parts of the world.
