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

[Macie Lightfoot]

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.

[Macie Lightfoot]

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

[Headie]

Alol USA win the Men's 4x100 even tho they should've definitely been DQ'd in the semis

[Macie Lightfoot]

asdfjkl; I can't get over the fact that we are CELEBRATING so hard that both American teams got the stick around

[Headie]

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

Reminiscent of DEANA'S CREW circa BB13

also Sifan Hassan had a choice to make, either this race or the 5, her coach said she had more chance at winning at the 5, but she personally wanted this race because at this event she did not have any medals till now

[Macie Lightfoot]

12.44 for Nia Ali *WOW* she's always been underrated but she always delivers!!!

[Macie Lightfoot]

ooooooh NBC says Dalilah Muhammad is running the 4x4!

[Alf]

What happened to that South African guy Van Niekerk?

Wasn't he at the championships this year?

[Macie Lightfoot]

lmfao Keni Harrison barely holding off Megan Tapper and all 5-foot-1 of her the girl can't handle anyone challenging her!

van Niekerk is coming back from ACL and meniscus surgery still from what I understand

[Macie Lightfoot]

YAAASSSSSS McLaughlin, Muhammad, Jonathas, and Francis for the 4x4 US finally making a good decision

[Macie Lightfoot]

7.30 for Mihambo

[Headie]

Loool we're still getting Mo Farah VTs even tho he retired from track two years ago and we have no British entrant in this final

[James]

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

[Macie Lightfoot]

NIA ALI SHOCKING THE WORLD AND WINNING also I don't even have anything against Keni Harrison but I just kinda love her getting denied of a gold medal AGAIN

Tori Bowie randomly coming in fourth in LJ Mihambo was gr8 though it's true

[Macie Lightfoot]

Leigh Diffey: The Allyson Felix story continues to get more impressive
*cuts to the relay team that she ISN'T on*
Lewis Johnson: and here with us is Allyson Felix and her daughter for an interview

[Headie]

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?

[Macie Lightfoot]

I don't know how recently it got changed but we did it with the mixed relay too so it might be new now?

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
