Was Dina really second leg??? Our commentators keep screaming about how we had to watch out for her on anchor but I wouldn't doubt it for NBC to just be dumb and not realize she was on second leg

Okay they showed a replay and the American commentators are just that stupid

Honestly though putting your fastest leg second IS the way to go if you can practice the handoffs enough to make it work. That's obviously not an option with the Americans but if Dina can get the baton early in the zone and hand it off late in the zone then it actually works out well.

Get Mike Rodgers OFF the 4x1 and just put Holloway on ffs.

Honestly it should be Coleman, Lyles, Holloway, Gatlin but putting hurdlers in a flat relay is apparently un-American.

YUP let's not only keep Rodgers in the relay at all, but have him run a curve and do two handoffs when he could barely do both of them in qualifying

The women's relay team is apparently called "Dina and the girls"

What happened to that South African guy Van Niekerk?

Wasn't he at the championships this year?

The coverage of the 1500m was weird, almost ignoring the winner in the home straight.

I didn't realise you could change your whole relay squad between the heats and the final, I thought the rule was always you can only swap 2 out??? When did that rule change?

They did it with Muir as well. The BBC always override the race feed with their own cameras that are focused on the British athletes if there's someone in contention for a medal If you'd just tuned in you'd think Wightman and Muir were fighting for a gold medal not a bronze So annoying

Yeah it happened with the mixed relay and I saw people saying online that they didn't realise that was allowed but assumed it was cause it was a new relay format. But now you can do it in the normal relays too apparently.

Anyway Martyn Rooney is not in the Men's final team so we might have a shot of not finishing last now <3
