Nellum, Mance, McQuay, and Taylor. Losing Merritt really hurt them, but they were really far off the quality of previous US 4x400 teams. | ||

It probably ended up working out in the way it should have but its very suspicious that they just seemed to have the correct measurement, despite also measuring it wrong. | ||

Taylor's the hurdler I read about. It's pretty nice having a backup from a slightly different sport, though, even if it's not ideal. | ||

He's been in the 4x400 team for years (he was hurdling at the 2000 olympics and has been in the 4x400 team since at least 2007). In 2008, he was the slowest guy among the US quartet in the finals, but this year he was the anchor leg. | ||

Then the Chinese athlete celebrates thinking she's got bronze only for them to announce that they had in fact measured the German athletes actual throw so they award her bronze. It probably ended up working out in the way it should have but its very suspicious that they just seemed to have the correct measurement, despite also measuring it wrong. Wut? They used a tape measure to remeasure all throws beyond 75m because the electronically measured result was wrong. | ||

Good thing is: The track can easily be used again since it is not part of the olympic city! Vive la France! Congratulation. That was an impressive showing! Germany and USA taking the other medals for the ladies! Spitz is 40y old and Gould is 32y old ... That's also impressive compared to the 23y old of Bresset. | ||
