USA Women's 4x100 Relay Final -Osaka 2007

[baracusain12]

Jamaica have the best anchor leg runners on the planet.

[manforU100]

USA always brilliant to made their strategy, Allyson Felix is too superb in 2nd leg,, you can see how she destroy anybody in 2nd leg!! see how she done it again and again!! Jamaica has at least 3 sprinter and they best in the world, but always lose if head to head with USA except 'drop baton.

[Shamar1160]

IF THEYF WERE GOING FURTHER SHE COULDNT BEAT VERONICA CAMPBELL NOT BY A LONG SHOT

[sokha326]

Starts at 2:40

[kccb1393]

in future, i hope Jamaican will put Shelly Ann Fraser as a second runner... coz only she can beat Allyson Felix... American always put Allyson Felix as a their 2nd runner

[22334450wonder]

i just realize they always do tht by putting jamaica on the outside and usa on the inside so they have the advantage on a shorter bend. same thing in 2011

[MrFlexybee]

@22334450wonder If you check the last two penn relays Jamaican was on the inside lane and USA still beat them fair and square.Final lane assignment are given depending on the time you run in the semi final.you can watch some past Olympic videos and the world champs as well,...............Ja has got inside lanes but still loss fair and square

[sundin57]

Wowwww Campbell ran her downnnnnnnnnnnn

[Cam9417]

Torri Edwards won it by the skin of her teeth. VCB was closing on that ass fast.

[kvocalist]

USA always win!! that last leg torie did thoe, she didnt seem in good running health.

[skavenger241]

I LOVE YOU VERONICA CAMPELL

[rastadeivid]

Nice Ass!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stevie586]

VCB is no joke!!!  Tori Edwards is not a wimp; she's known to run sub 10.8, but, VCB showed true skill in trying to run her down!

[chichibud31]

as for the 4x100 relays, i believe it will be tight between the US and Ja..comes to baton changes to decide the winner..as for the men, as i said before, Ja's only competition will be the clock and butterfingers..barring an race injury, of course.

[daniellip16]

@chichibud31 if the banton comes around smoothly, Jamaica wins hands down.. no doubt about it.

[WarlockAngel22]

Holy crap, how fast is VCB.

[bhodgerrr]

I believe this is the US's year to not only win but in world record time! Marshavet Myers will start us off and if Jamaica is behind they automatically lose because Allyson Felix will beat everyone on second leg then, Miki Barber can maintain position and Jeter is the 2nd fastest women so there is NO CATCHING HER!

[MrFlexybee]

@chichibud31,the US would have simply beat Ja in beijing .Jamaica only has 100m runners and US has the best team.they were in a clear lead until torri messed up the baton,and i bet you their semi final time would have even been fastest than that of the winning time by the russian.let us just wait for 2011.

[MrFlexybee]

@MrOlasehinDay it seems u are lost in the world of athletics,Jamaican only wins if USA do not make it to the final.see the the way the usa has wiped their asses at the penn relays.just imagine a relay team with barber,felix,myers and Jeter.Just forget it bcos the only Jamaica gal in great form is Vcb.let see how it goes at daegu.

[chichibud31]

@MrFlexybee ..and you really think the US could beat Ja in Beijing ?..or is it that the so called 'baton drop' was done as the US sensed some serious Ja ass kicking coming their way..hmmm !

[bhodgerrr]

@chichibud31 So what was Jamaica's problem because they didn't finish either!

[chichibud31]

@bhodgerrr ..yeah, but Ja were the favourites, see !..now, if you listen to the commentaries, the US hasn't "lost a 4x100 relay in the Olympics" since they lost to the GBR, i believe, when Mo Green was the anchor. Technically, that's correct. Better to drop out than to concede defeat, at least that's how the USA looks at competing, i believe..

[MrFlexybee]

Jamaica will only cross the line first if usa is not in the finals.deal with it

[MrOlasehinDAY]

@MrFlexybee haha i dont think so. the Jamaican team over the past 4 years have evolved to the extent that USA cant come near.

[MrFlexybee]

@chichibud31,Jamaica simply won the 2009 relay just bcos USA did not make it to the finals.there is no way jamaica will win bcos VCB is the only woman in great form among the gals,but in the USA most of the them have pick up form just at the right time e.g jeter,myers and felix..it would be either a world record or championship record for USA.

[sciencestudent342]

that a crazy end there, torre edwards was at a peak here running round 10.8 and the way vc chased her down lol, insaaaaaaaane

[kvocalist]

both usa & ja have amazing runners...i guess cus we are so used to usa winning every damn thing! its good to see a west indian island get it...usa training or not, as west indians we boast like nobody else!!

[chichibud31]

"US holds on, Ja second"..yeah, that was then..let's see how it goes down in Deagu 2011 !

[uceflucas20]

jamaica suck ya just mad usa won ; yall jamaicans got ya head to far up the coco nut

[19701969ish]

If Jamaica had won this day ooh wee some tears would be shed! That was a crunk anker leg you feel me with the Jamaican lady running the American chick down like a bat out of hell! Oops bats do not run they fly! ha ha ha. Look like Veronica was flying. Jamaicans be tearing the track field up yo! Congrats to the USA and my yardie people. Irie

[dentgregg]

Jamaica is the best! Usa was damn lucky Veronica was Storming !! 1 more meter and it would have been all Jamaica~!

[19701969ish]

@dentgregg True dat!

[dentgregg]

Jamaica is the best!

[shonnaboo]

Veronica campbell Brown ran her down like a freight train lol lets hope campbell brown can keep that up in 2011

[Shockwave33333333333]

@shonnaboo Trust me, she will xDDD

[dylan12246]

1:20 Butt shot

[Itrack001]

o please i wish yall stop saying jamaica has a lot of fast ppl.. most of them come to the usa for college for the training so .. usa training made them that fast

[lakesha171]

@Itrack001 since you are not aware most of jamaicas top athletes train in jamaica. Asafa and many of the top runners train with MVP. Usain Bolt trains with RACERS track club. Do your research

[Itrack001]

@lakesha171 oooo wait i know what i am talkin about.. almost all of the Jamaican runner went to college in the U.S there for they have some American training.. you do your research... and return to me with your results

[lakesha171]

@Itrack001 I am not talking about the athletes who get a scholarship to attend colleges in USA because many of those atheletes cannot make a Jamaica team to a major championship. Yes many of them gets a scholarship but where are they now?

[lakesha171]

@Itrack001 also if they weren't performing in Jamaica they would not have gotten a scholarship

[Itrack001]

@lakesha171 i neva said they weren't fast i said they have USA training.. trust me they wasn't running sub 11 sec before the got to the US if so they wouldn't have never came...

[westideas]

@Itrack001 Bull! Out of all Jamaica's current top athletes only VCB trains in the USA. Fraser, Stewart, Bolt and Powell all reside and train in Ja. What you are talking about is the late 90's and early 2000's when Jamaica did not have the proper facility and infrustructure. Also if Jamaicans would have rep Ja in the past we would have been dominating in the past also. Look at Sanya Richards, Debbie Dunn. If they had rep ja in olympics 08 we would have won gold and silver in 400m + gold in 4x400m

[uncoverbrother]

love the relay!

[raph771]

woooww the Jamaican in the end !!!!!!! Jamaica = 42.01 & USA 41.98 !!

[raph771]

woooww the Jamaican in the end !!!!!!!

[abhirocks9]

wow .03 thats gay. fk u america u dont deserve it at that time.

[Change438]

mmmm belgium ;)

[kccb1393]

in the real race, tori edwards won't win any medals... the won maybe because of allyson felix...

[blackknight1129]

From the comments im guessing Jamaica tore it up

[karuitha]

V Campbell nearly, just nearly

[U2navy]

everytime i c this i get mad with tori edwards she will never run the anchor leg again..yes

[09MUHS]

OMG CAMPBELL FAST AS FUCK!!!!!

[aleciab33]

[cegtown]

@aleciab33 Yeah, but its not the 4x102.5 meter relay unfortunately

[aleciab33]

[RFSA88]

Hi all fans of Womens Sprinting I have created a facebook page to honour Evelyn Ashford called 'The Great Evelyn Ashford' stop by become a fan and share your thoughts.

I fear she has been largely forgotten by those are not avid athletics fans which is a shame as her contribution to the sport was and is astonishing.

Kind Regards and Thanks

Dat was a good race!i love the rivalry still.ja to the world!!!!

[RFSA88]

Good race a few more metres JA would have won.

[kvocalist]

JA run a better race...dat tori girl slowed down although she wudda won if she didnt...but veronica closed that gap...good team

[kevdem18]

Everyone knows Jamaica is the sprint factory of the world.

[youbestanking]

I think alot of you people are secretly really jealous or either blind that Jamaica's track team is the best in the world.

This was a great race, i'm proud of the USA and Jamaica. It was surely a fight for a win on Veronica's part & she gets a hats off from me.

Jamaica may only have a name in Track, but it's the best name. USA can't compare. for such a SMALL place to supply such great athletes, some of you should really be trying to learn from them instead of trying to put USA 1st. JA #1

[wexlerchick]

Are you kidding me? We don't compare? The thing with Jamaica is they have Usain, Asafa, Veronica, Kerron, and Fraser, other than those people I just named no one on Jamaica can handle the US. Allyson Felix has defeated Campbell 3 times at worlds, Tyson Gay has defeated Bolt at worlds, Sanya has defeated Kerron, but so has Allyson. I can go on and on our team has the best people, we have Felix, Richards, Muna, Gay, Clement, Merritt, etc,etc. WE ARE THE BEST.

[paokliverpoolfan]

admit your deafeat u fucking biatch!!

[youbestanking]

Ah stop being jealous and just admit your team sucks. Lmao. You Americans are so hostile with this topic, the Jamaican team has always been the best in the making, it's taken a long time for them to get where they are now. Instead of trying to compare yourselves to them you want to say you are the best. For an Island smaller than NJ to have the fastest people alive, that's something. Why, you feel because the US is big you're better? The world championships proved that, &Beijing proved opposite.

[Tarika21]

Sweetheart remember one thing Sanya Richards is a Jamaican!!! And not because of her parents status but by birth, and all those people you have named all got their ass whooped at one point by a Jamaican! If the American Athletes are drugged up they can't win!!! And don't need none of that to beat any of you guys BECAUSE WE ARE THE BEST!!!!!! 9.58 AND 19.19 SAYS IT ALL!!!!

[ranhill]

Yeah, it says Jamaica has no national anti doping policy, random or otherwise, which allows their sprinters to cheat without fear of getting caught.

[Gasto876]

shut up...nobody cheat like AMerica!!!!!!! and even thou Jamaica doesnt have one....olympics anf the world champinship have their own drug testin policies!!! so dont com wit dat asshole...

[ranhill]

What I'm talking about you drug induced imbecile is random out of competition drug testing, which Jamaica does NOT have or do. So the Jamacians get all drugged up between meets, then get clean in time for the next meet.

[rootlick1]

just like marion jones did? listen i think that you should just accept that right now jamaica is on form. the rest of the world had to accept USA dominance and we never complain. and dont get me wrong i am a big fan of mo greene and all that but i think you should allow jamaica to have their time to shine and stop being so bitter.

[rootlick1]

thats why it seem as though people are being cocky. accept it and when someone else comes and takes over then so be it. and anyway you are behaving like ameriaca so innocent. ie tim montgomery flo jo kellie white the list goes on. you lot need to be more humble

[ranhill]

Not bitter at all. You will never here me say that the Americans are superior. You can not blame the Jamaicans for the US team not getting the stick around. Also, I am a huge critic of Flo Jo. But when you see a similar pattern in Ben Johnson, Flo Jo, and now Bolt, it has less to do with them being Jamacians and more to do with them being cheaters.

[rootlick1]

doesnt fit the trend people seem to think he just started running 9.6 out of nowhere but if you look back and at his progress 20.51 at 15yrs old 19.93 at 18yrs old with raw technique. come on it was only a matter of time for time to run such time with training and maturing with age.

[stacymala]

I suppose the fact that IAAF officials fly to Jamaica dozens of times per year to conduct out of season testing doesn't apply in your rationale? Learn your facts before attacking others based on faulty logic.

[rootlick1]

good point

[stacymala]

Actually they do. In addition, their tests are done in an IAAF approved laboratory in Canada. Unlike the US that does all their testing inhouse, which was how Carl Lewis was able to compete in the 1988 Olympics even after testing positive 3 times. Remind me how long Marion Jones, tim Montgomery, and Justin Gatlin kept competing after all their American testing? Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house.

[ranhill]

You never heard me say that US athletes were not drug free. I even accuse US athletes who have NEVER tested positive. So don't talk to me about throwing stones. How nice for Jamaica that Canada has to test their samples. I wonder how many times those samples are scrubbed BEFORE they get to Canada?

[stacymala]

It is far more likely 4 the US to cheat inhouse than for Jamaica to cheat w/ independent labs. AND since the IAAF travels to Jamaica dozens of times per year to perform out of season testing, then the likelihood is even more farfetched & still leaves you in that glass house! If you don't know the facts STFU. U talk about no random out of season testing on the Jamaicans & you have no idea what goes on. It is better to keep silent & be considered a fool than to open your mouth & remove all doubt.

[ranhill]

Obviously you are a liar. Liars have answers for everything even if the answers contradict themselves. We have nothing further to discuss.

[stacymala]

Ohhh. Boohoo. You were proven to not know what you were talking about and so the person with the easily PROVABLE facts is a liar. LMAO. You didn't know the IAAF performed the Jamaicans out of season testing did you? No come back for the truth huh, so I must be a liar. LOL. You are so pathetic.

As I told you before, you should've just kept silent instead of proving your ignorance, stupidity, and obviously misinformed bias. But too late, you have already proven yourself to be a MORON.

[ranhill]

What ever, liar. like I said ,we have nothing further to discuss because you can not have a meaningful conversation with a liar. A liar always has something to prove and won't drop a subject because they want to convince you that their lie is the truth. Let it go liar. Mark Twain was not a liar, but you are.

[stacymala]

More name calling when you can't get your own way. LOL. If I'm lying prove it? I can prove my facts, but you can't prove your statements because you pulled them out of your ass. Next you're going to start reciting Liar Liar pants on fire. LMAO. How old are you anyway? How typical of idiots who get called out for being an idiot & can't prove their baseless claims that they start with the name calling. Go to the IAAF website and get your facts so you can stop proving what a moron and idiot you are

[ranhill]

Dude, let it go! For your own sake.

[stacymala]

Let what go? That u are a moron? That u made your claims based on nothing? That u had to resort to name calling when u were proved to be a liar? & now that u can't win because the facts support me, u can't admit that you were wrong?

I'll let it go as soon as you admit that you are a prejudiced moron who didn't know what he was talking about and used bias instead of facts to promote an argument.

Remember that there will always be someone who knows the truth whenever you post BS comments.

[ranhill]

I will never admit to to the claims you have made about me because, simply, they are not truth. Again, something you are adverse to being a bonifide liar. Go back and read your posts to see the pattern of contradictions you have laid out for yourself. Should you continue with your self empowering immature rants, be my guest. I will answer no further. I have moved on and suggest you behave as an adult and do the same. That is, if you have any experience being an adult

[stacymala]

Here we go again. Everything I said is backed up by the IAAF. Is the IAAF lying as well? OMG, could you be ANY MORE PATHETIC? Stop pulling excuses out your ass. U didn't know JA sends their in season tests to Canada and that the IAAF does Ja's out of season tests. YOU CAN'T ACCPET THE FACTS NOR CAN YOU ACCEPT THAT YOU ARE A BIASED MORON. Now you want to be an adult? That would be a 1st. Funny how when the FACTS came out & u can no longer stand by ur comments, u started shouting liar. Pathetic.

[ranhill]

Please, go away...

[stacymala]

Uhhh, somebody caught big baby making up lies and now he can't handle the truth.

2 weeks ago you stated that Jamaica does no out of season testing and so their athletes get drugged up between meets.

But you didn't know that the IAAF performs ALL of Jamaica's out of season testing which proves your statements to be nothing more than inflammatory lies. And even though the IAAF has this on their site & in news reports, you just can't accept the truth. How very pathetic & very sad.

[mpalin14]

dude you have some serious issues get over it.

[wexlerchick]

Sanya Richards left Jamaica at 11 or 12, she considers herslef American, Respresents America, thus she is American. None of our athletes are ''drugged up'' where do you get your information? At one point in time and in Veronica Campbell Browns case 3 points in time all the jamaicans I named got their asses kicked by an American.

[NJNupe1911]

Thank you, i;m getting suck of some these Jamicans coming up on here making these stupid ass comments. It's one thing to be proud of your nation's accomplishmens, but no need to get cocky with it. Remember it's a short fall from grace.

[rootlick1]

oh stop hating americans are far more cocky you lot notice it more because for once you'll actually got your ass kicked.....well.cough cough usain bolt. just remember jamaica has been repping for years. and weather you like it or not sanya richards is jamaican. also other people that are from jamaica that kick americas ass donovan bailey linford christie. hold on wasnt inger millers father from jamaica too.

[Tarika21]

Thank you boo tell them because they don't seem to know!!!! And if you notice many of the athletes this year that are running for America are from Africa or some other country. The guy who won the 400 meter is from Trinidad and Tobago and he because an American citizen in 2004. So when some full blooded Americans who aren't doped up can win a Gold medal on their own these people can talk all the crap they want!

[wexlerchick]

Tyson Gay, Allyson Felix, Lashawn Merritt, Jeremy Wariner, Lauryn Williams, etc, etc have ALL won gold medals in recent major events and aren't ''doped up''. Once Jamaica starts REALLY testing their athletes then they can talk crap until the you all need to shut up.

[Tarika21]

Look we are all entitled to our own opinions. And I think it makes more sense to test athletes outside of their country than within because a lot of Doctors can get paid off to cover up what they find. I am not going to shut up, because guess what, all the people who you just named got their asses whooped more than once or twice by a Jamaican athlete. Shawn Crawford, and the rest of the AMERICAN TEAM CAN GO AND BUILD A LONGER SWORD, BECAUSE USAIN IS JUST A BABY DRAGON WHO HAVE MANY COMING!!!!!!

[wexlerchick]

And every American athlete I just named has kicked a lot of Jamaican ass. Tyson Gay beat Usain at the 07 worlds in 200m, Allyson Felix has wiped the floor with Veronica Campbell and Kerron Stewart 3 times, there's just no Jamaican competition at all in them men's 400m for Wariner or Merritt, so yeah.

[Tarika21]

And again the guy who won the 400m Mens gold is from Trinidad and Tobago. So when you all can get some Americans that are not naturalized citizens to win races then we can talk boo boo!! And Allison Felix can never wipe the floor with nobody, because Veronica is a far better athlete than she is. Every time she ever won a race against Veronica is because Veronica did surgery and you know that! Tyson Gay aint shit, and he wants to lie on his groan because he new he was gonna get his ass kicked!!!

[wexlerchick]

I said 400m not 400m Hurdles, which was won by Kerron Clement. Stop making excuses for Veronica, Allyson beat her at every worlds since 05 and then some. She's beaten VCB a total of 5 times.

[rootlick1]

i think you lot are not doing you research and think that jamaica only just started doing well. if you go back the world champs in 2005 i believe there was a gold medal in the womans triple jump and you forget merlene ottey was a medalist and world champion many times. not sure about the rest of you but me beibg a britiah born jamaican i am happy that jamaica are doing well and once again think that people should give support and stop being so bitter it make you lot look ugly

[wexlerchick]

Yeah I'm happy for Jamaica, my cousin and uncle arre Jamaican (By marriage) and while we were watching the Olympics they were cheering for Jamaica and i was cheering for USA, we all enjoyed the races, no matter the outcome. I wasn't upset until people started saying Americans have to be drugged up to beat Jamaica. It just isn't true.

[rootlick1]

thats fair enough. and like i said i think people in general need to give people a fair change before using the "drug card". that what i believe because i would l like to think that if i myself run a superfast time people would believe in me and not start that "i wonder what he is taking" stupidness. i hate it. quick example my friend recently ran 10.09 a big pb/pr and within minutes a heard people start making those comments. i was like are you for real.its like thats all people talk about now

[stacymala]

Get back to me when a Jamaican uses a fire extinguisher to put out their shoes.

[Tarika21]

She can consider herself cute I don't care she is what she is and that is a Jamaican! And by the way sweetheart we don't need to test our athletes we go outside of our country to get tested. So therefore if anything happens nothing can get covered up. And you need to remember Marion Jones and her husband and many other Athletes ok. They had to return a lot of gold medals for being doped up! So please they is no competition Jamaica is number one right now so accept it and stop hating!!!!

[wexlerchick]

Yeah, I remember Marion Jones, so what, that's on her. Just because she did what she did all of a sudden EVERY American is on steroids? That's stupid. The US wins more events in Track and Field than Jamaica does, and that's a fact and I've got the proof to back it up. Jamaica will be number one once they start winnning 4x400 for men and women, once they start dominating women's 200m, 400m, once they start dominating men's 400m, etc, etc

[rootlick1]

nobody is saying that every american is on steroids. and it is true USA does win more medal in track and field but remember that USA is by far the bigger and more developed country with 100 times more facilities so what do you expect as jamaica it just a small little island in comparison. ps did you actually watch the world champs and olympics 5 WR and AT LEAST 1 medal in nearly every sprint event and in not the was someone in the final. sounds like the beginning of dominance to me

[rootlick1]

you seem to be forgetting the clean sweep from the ladies in the 100m in beijing. ps a gold medal in the woman 100m world championship final too. and other caribbean islands are stepping up their game as well and there are more athletes taking part so you'll see more of it very soon. and as far as drugs are concerned we all know that some people do it but i think that we should give people a far chance and stop automatically pointing the finger just because they ran fast thats stupid.

[wexlerchick]

Well it seems like that's what everyone is saying, that's all I've been hearing over and over. Did you know most of the Jamaicans go to American universitiees and train in the US? Once Jamiaca wins at least one medal in an 800 or above, then we'll talk, once a Jamaican wins at least one medal in long jump, decathalon, pole vault, then you'll actually have an argument, but until that time US reigns supreme in Track & FIELD.

[rootlick1]

fair point alot of people travel to the usa to study and train etc. i myself travel over from the uk to train every year. like i said earlier usa has far better facilities and more of them. but this whole attitude of "reigning supreme" is what make others want to rub it in your faces when you get beaten again jamaica is a small country so obviously there are gonna be alot of events not covered but for now you have to accept that the blue ribbon event belongs to JA :-)

[Goldstruck]

Wexlerbitch youre such an idiot,u need a track manual. James Beckford long jump four silver medals in the long jump,one 96 olympics,2 at the worlds,one indoor, Trecia Smith 05 world triple jump champ,Maurice sile men decathlon 07,Clive Terrelonge world champion 95 indoors,Kenia Sinclair silver world indoors 06,talk up pussy face or u still living on illusion street!!!

[wexlerchick]

What's all this 96, 95, bullcrap? I've got one word for you, IRRELEVENT.

[mthaw101]

omg did u see veronica!!! who could have tought she could close that gap! gosh she is really the queen of sprint maaaad wi love u

[LUVHYM]

all these arguments mean nothing. usa won.

[mthaw101]

what ever but jamaica ran the best race

[youbestanking]

yes usa won, but the fact is that the jamaican track team is more talented and efficient. great race all in all.

[Aarontlondon]

That stupid American commentator! 'Campbell can't catch up', err and then she did!

[Turquoise66]

no she didn't, she lost

[JamTrackStar788]

(Vc ran a 10.06 anchor leg)

she look like she could beat me

i ran a 10.00 at boys champs and thats was fast

jesus christ what else can she do!!

LOVE YOU VC

[7Millionaire7]

Torri edwards should never anchor anything.

[africanqueen09love]

thats nonsense US won because they had a better team than we did....

[jahmka1]

USA 300 million people - 110 medals

Jamaica 3 million people - 11 medals

Do the math!

[Turquoise66]

population doesn't matter, there isn't enough medals for America

[frassnik]

Tori edwards and the us should be a bit embarassed the fact that veronica made up so much ground on her. This has to be the best anchor leg run thta i have ever seen.

[UGGO87]

Campbell is the best!!! GO

[ranhill]

Torri Edwards and Cathy Freeman could be sisters...

[Rawkidd24]

i think tori edwards is a horrible runner too she gettin to old mikie barber did good

[iwant2bbuff]

Jamaican women have the best asses

[tariqziyad]

lauryn williams ass is better then everybody on jamaicas team and so is miki barber

[cggeek]

dat gyal lucky nuh ras! veronica almost catch her and buss her rass!

[2YAO2YAO2]

AWESOME ANCHOR BY VERONICA.

[NarjiRunksWoedaii09]

usa won because jamaica had the outside lane

[TxTechRox123]

really? you honestly think Mamaica lost because of their lane assignment? That's your excuse for losing? Maybe they don't have the quality of sprinters the USA has....maybe...just MAYBE that's why they lost....it's just a theory in actuality....seeing as all of the lanes cover the same distance.

[stretchipress]

are u serious? If we were either right infront of behind the Americans we would have won it. Look how much ground Veronica ate up?  Tori Edwards was lucky!!!

[TxTechRox123]

more excuses from a Jamaica fan? it's a fucking race, each lane has the same distance, it comes down to speed of the athletes and the fluidity of the baton exchanges....THAT"S IT!! IT"S THAT SIMPLE.

[stretchipress]

Yeah, and u ran track right? Cause if u did then u wouldn't make such a comment. And if u did, then shame on ya! LOL I got one word for u, BEIJING!

[TxTechRox123]

Beijing? lolz...you got pwned in Beijing...total medal count by country:

USA

36 Gold

38 Silver

36 Broze

Jamaica

6 Gold

3 Silver

2 Bronze

You only have sprinters, you should focus on some other sports and quit getting embarassed at the international level.

[stretchipress]

TxTech - why do you even bother? It's all good. We are good at what we do and will forever be proud of it. Someone did the population/medals ratio later on this thread. Take a look at it. We are proud to beat the world. We get to final in almost every event we do. And almost always have more than one in those events. If you were from where we are, then you'd appreciate it too. So we ain't hatin' - we just happy to finally be beating you all up and down the track, LEGALLY I might add lol

[TxTechRox123]

the Winter Olympics are 2 months away, we'll see how good you guys do. Personally I don't think you'll win shit, but hey, what do I know right? it's all good.

[stretchipress]

smh - dude it's ok.  It's not that serious.

[Thenahen]

uhm. i don't agree that you win everything.

cause it are actually the athletes that are running, not the country.

but they are just from a country and running under that name.

[uncoverbrother]

@stretchipress almost doesn't count...

[stacymala]

Look, Jamaica did not lose because of their lane, but it is also a ridiculous to believe that every lane is the same. There is a reason the slowest qualifiers in the heats get assigned to lanes 1 and 8. And I think that after the way Jamaica wooped the US in both Beijing & Berlin proves that the "quality" sprinters are not the Americans.

[trakstr1987]

Cambell ran edwards DOWN!!!!! 10 more meters and jamaica would have won... im sorry lol

[onsenfiche67]

@trakstr1987 in 2003 christine arron has beat torri edwards!!!

arron was more inpressive than campbell!! (i think ;) )

(sorry i don't speak english very well)

[flintus]

@trakstr1987 LOL you could say that for any race- just ten more metres and they wouldnt of lost!

[cjportmaria]

The Jamaican order I think was Sherriann Brooks to Kerron Stewart to Simone Facey to Veronica Campbell-Brown. The US won because they had better passes than Jamaica.

[CSwiss]

That Jamaican chick was faster than that chick who came out first, you can tell

[hotnumber24]

For real..

[postplayer323]

USA...we're kick ass!

[oliverbobkirk]

Edwards had a shocker but great Anchor by Campbell-Brown. But it was clear Edwards didn't run her best, not taking anything away from Veronica. Great leg by Allyson Felix too. Can't wait for the Clash of Jamaica vs USA in Berlin, will be a cracker.I think (not in this order though)

JAMAICA USA

Shelly-Ann Fraiser Lauryn Williams

Sherone Simpson Allyson Felix

Kerron Stewart Marshavet Hooker

Veronica Campbell-Brown Torrie Edwards

[Paco801]

you forgot Muna lee on the us 4x100

[cjportmaria]

Edwards is a terrible relay runner. Remember she was 2nd and 3rd in the 100m and 200m resp. in 2003 and yet was passed by Christine Arron in the final. Also, she dropped the stick in Beijing. Torri Edwards should not be on a relay team.

[venezyela]

wheres the EAST GERMAN women? if they dominated track and field in the 1970's and 1980's shouldnt they be there? is it all steroids that makes them run faster and faster? huh

[Paco801]

The east germans were on roids in the 80s and 70's

[tmonk2005]

that anchor.... my GOD!!!!

[jamaicanson13]

CAMPBELL  RULES.........

[Asguitar]

if gevaert runs of this way in beijin 2008 realy final, belgium wons gold

[quishia]

Veronica campbell is so FAST!!!

[jamaicancritic]

If VER HAD ANOTHER METER THIS ONE WOULD BE IN THE BAG FOR JAMAICA.

[tanipowe]

You got that right.....Veronica rules!!! Can't wait to see her whoop ass in Beijing.
