Fun news is that my wife really wants to go to Paris 2024 to watch beach vball which would mean I get to watch Mu dominate the 800m & 400m in person. Win-win for me

Throw in watching the Tour de France finish at Champs-Elysees for a few extra thousand dollars

We are targeting that trip too but will probably sub a visit to the American cemeteries near Normandy for the Tour de France.

Put his ass on the actual 4x400 team. Don't **** this up Carl
curious as to why you say this. Is Carl Lewis in charge of the relays?

I think Orin Richburg is the USATF coach in charge of relays, but I've been told that Lewis helps make a lot of decisions on the side with him. Who really knows

I was asking because Lewis came out and blasted the team and the coaches after the 4x100. Didn't seem like he was in Tokyo or part of the decision making there

Paris 2024 logo is a cool olympic flame that is also a lady from the French revolution. LA 2028 is half anarchy

Ok thanks. Some people automatically think doping anytime someone not from a traditional power does well.

Seems dumb to delete posts like that.

Absolute no brainer! No words can ever sufficiently express the sacrifices that those soldiers made for all of us!!!

That was my impression to. When he said 'people running the wrong legs' confirmed he didn't have much involvement
in it.

Didn't USA win 4x400 GOLD ? Saw this on British Daily. Deadmon ran 3rd.

Surprised no one has posted !
Don't think the 4x400 has been run yet. Think the final is on Saturday, isn't it? I think the race you are referring to was the semi unless I am wrong.

Poor hand offs doom the US gold hopes but I must say Prandini ran one heck of a 3rd leg.
man she did. I was super disappointed that she didn't make the 200m final, i thought for sure she would have

I liked when the announcer, with about 2 miles to go, called on all Cheeseheads to head to the tv.

Ok, maybe it's just me, but just watched the men's 4x400 and Deadmon's outstanding performance and I don't think the NBC announcers ever actually said his name, focused on the other teams, and even in the replay not a mention. WTH?

It seems like they have different commentators for each replay.

The one this morning mentioned Bryce, Lendore, and A&M:

NBC just showed a commercial for gold medal games tomorrow and showed Felix, Sydney, and Mu for the 4x400.

I guess they are in.

My guess is that Its Hayes, Felix, Mu, and Sydney.

Johnathas ran the prelims so she would still get a medal.

Has Mu ever run anything besides anchor? Asking because she may have never had to initiate a handoff.
NO AMNESTY!

in order for democrats, liberals, progressives et al to continue their illogical belief systems they have to pretend not to know a lot of things; by pretending "not to know" there is no guilt, no actual connection to conscience. Denial of truth allows easier trespass.
