Yeah Elaine started too early and it messed up the exchange but lawd the way she flew through that 2nd leg was crazy

why do I have to divide Africa to please you? When misery visits Africa, the likes
of you happily consider and embrace it as a continental calamity. When we shine,
you want to divide and compatimentalise us so that you can victimise selectively.
We are Africa.
Nice sidestep...dont think that the disrespect you showed for the diaspora in that post went unnoticed though
Direct response. I am not here to dance to your tune
I hope your adoration of Jamaica is genuine and you are not simply using my island as a tool to troll the Black Americans on the board
I did not adopt anyone or anything. I support all black people all of the
time. The problem is that you think that I should support only your side
all of the time

Adoration, not adoption...I dont know what you are talking about in your last sentence. Just sounds like more sidestepping.
whatever
Big ups to the Jamaican women's relay team....that was a hell of a race, not even close .....it would've be even more of a slaughter if they had more chemistry and didnt have the sloppy exchanges
shoutout to the Canadian mens relay team for taking the bronze. degrasse ran a hell of an anchor leg coming from 6th to finishing 3rd.
Italy with all types of upsets in track this year

I think the US would have gotten a medal if they made it to the finals...Jamaica's men had a pretty bad baton exchange in the final so no idea where they would have placed with good exchanges....with that being said, that was actually a pretty good time by the Italians (and the British) so you never know....there weren't any dominant male sprinters in the Olympics this year (De Grasse came through in the 200 but even he was injured for a bit) so the Italians came through and cleaned up
Good points. The Heat was really like the Finals also.
Being in the outside lane suited her perfectly. She got to run her own race based on experience and not have to worry about anyone else around her. Similar to when the South African broke the world record at the last Olympics from the outside lane.
The women still broke the Jamaican record though... but yeah, I'll agree that a world record was on the cards and expected.
She medal because Mcpherson choked. I am not surprise though because she has a tendency of running the 400m finals like a 250m race.
Well, it all comes down to smarter running when it matters most, in the final. Felix ran the smarter race and kept her composure throughout the entire race.
I don't know what happened to Jamaica this year but I expected them to obliterate records...
They went 1 2 3 in the 100 meters. That's enough.
They did very very well. The men did not have Usain Bolt and came
up short in the 100, 200 and 4x100. They came away with a stunning
but unexpected gold in the 110m hurdles.

GT, Kenya finally ceded the men and women's 3000m steeple chase
records, to a Moroccan and Ugandan respectively. In the case of the
men, this was the first time since 1968 that they did not take the gold.
There is something wrong with defending champion Conseslus Kipruto,
who dropped out of the Kenyan trials after only 2 of the 7 laps. He is
only 25, so I am sure he will be back.
Vivian Cheruyot also failed to make it in the 1500m race, going straight
into the medical tent after her trial..
I guess this was not a good year for the good ol Kenyans.
The women did, but the men's 100m was won by the
transplanted American, Jacobs, on behalf of Italy.
Athing Mu smoked dem muthafuckas. Shit wasn't even close. 
Proud of her. Jersey needs to throw her a parade.

Can't believe Italy won the 4X100
there will never be a Jamaica Olympic team like the one in 2012 London Olympics
A cac ran down that black man from Britain, no less
Yeah Italy winning that 4x100 was crazy, nobody saw that coming. An the Jam women blasted the field. They were leaps an bounds better than everyone else.
As you know the relay is a very technical race. It's not all about speed... and Italy got all their exchanges perfect, plus the anchor leg had a lot of heart and ran the race of his life.
I've got a lot of time of Carl... Yeah, yeah, I know he can sometimes be a hater ....BUT.... you can't take away the fact that his consistent level of achievements as an athlete deserve a lot of respect.... plus he and Burrell are doing great work mentoring and training many young talent at the University of Houston.
That US 4 x 4 women's team...wow....put together a hell of a squad...dominant performance
I'm just glad McPherson is not in it.
At this point her confidence shattered.
That was easily the USA race nobody stand a chance.
Yeah she looked distraught
someone has been caught
