something clever
So no improvement since 2009.
Indeed, but can we really say it is "pretty poor" when it's 3 times the medals we won in 2001

Because the event is a relay with batons. It's not meant to be easy, it's meant to be a skill that teams perfect.
Absorbable amphetamines on the batons themselves. Ok you'd have incredibly talkative runners, but surely the genital-shrinkage would make each athlete have less weight to carry and slow them down, and no one runs faster than toward the thing they're addicted to. In my case, if they put an onion ring on each baton i'd go a mile an hour faster in its direction.
Is this the same US team that stepped outside their lane yesterday yet escaped disqualification?
The Americans' aren't immune to messing things up, but they do it a lot less than the Brits. Practice is what we need. Practice and experience of running competitive relays.
What is the point of the baton really? They don't use one in swimming relays so why don't they use a hand touch as a transfer as with cameras everywhere no one can cheat.
Your recollection would seem to be at fault somewhere in there, either four years or 5100 miles #pedantryThe Americans dropped the baton in the 4x100m Mens and Womens in Athens 2008, I seem to recall.

The most sickening for me as Mo has alluded to already is the corney way in which the GB team, BBC studio and GB performance chief tried to convince themselves and us that they had won the bronze medal.
Complete tos*ers. For once in your lives do the honourable thing.
hahahahahaha, hahahahaha, haha, hahahahahahahaha, ha.
You need to go back to bed and get up when your head has cleared.
I spent yesterday looking for some specific bile that was generated after our third loss to Derby.
Believe me there was a lot of bile to go through, and yet nothing written here 8 days ago can hold a candle to that statement.
Chapeau.
Wow as equally incoherent last thing at night, as first thing in the morning.The Tour an orchestrated three week ride where there are only a few contenders and teams can control most events. Sky are the big money team, the US Postal, I wonder if Verbruggen is ringing them with advance bad news. Rob Hayles tests positive at a World Cup, Brailsford pale, drained on television interview, worried for HIS future. Then the second test is negative, omg how did that happen. Lets hope the new British team will challenge Sky and place this machiavelian manager where he belongs. Just how many people has he fallen out with?
Do you ride a bike or a sofa my friend?
I do believe that GB mens relay practice on being right on the edge of disqualification - as they recognise that they will not make the medal placings if they play it safe. It's a considered gamble to gain them a few vital mili- seconds - some you win some you lose.
Quite a bit of truth in this. The Jamaicans play it safe because they know that they are by far the quickest.
