Nothing wrong with that!(being Brazilian) Some fine women down there I used to date a girl from Brasilia! She graduated college before I did so I haven't seen her since like 94'! I'll post my predictions. 4x100 men G USA S UK B Brazil (don't know who Nigeria has besides Aliu these days.) 4x100 women G Bahamas S USA B France (Bahamas very consistent US no Marion) 4X400 M G USA S Jamaica B Bahamas. 4x400 W USA S Russia B G ermany (German anchor Breuer is a bad girl on that anchor,we don't have Marion here either.) Sleeper team in 4x100 for men's is Japan. They had 3 guys in the top 50 100 sprinters last year and that didn't include Koji Ito their best sprinter in recent years.

2-GB chasing them all the way 37 mid to low
3-Nigeria (based on talent)

some team will run 37 and not medal!!!

If you reemeber the 1999 WC Nigeria and Brazil fought it out. This maybe the same situation, with Trinidad Tobago, Japan, Poland chasing them. Cuba might be in the final. For the USA order-Drummond has led off the WR relay back in 1993, Montgomery was the mix up in 1997 (second leg with former school mate Brian Lewis non hand off) , Bernard Williams was the second leg at the Sydney games and Greene has always anchored. The order will come down to whether the defending World Champion, national champion and the current World record holder put their egos aside and do the team thing. If not GB will win with a near or possible WR time.

tafnut, What do you think of this order? leadoff Drummond 2nd MO(works with Drummond at HSI) 3RD Bernard(has run the best 200 times and has really looked strong on the curve this year) anchor Montgomery(to be honest this guy scare me handing off the baton.)

That could work, however, I think a number of USA combinations can win gold. However, it's hard to see Greene and Montgomery not on the relay squad. The USA could go with either:

Drummond, Greene, Williams, Montgomery
Drummond, Montgomery, Williams, Greene
Drummond, Williams, Capel, Monty/Greene
Drummond, Williams, Patton, Monty/Greene

Low 37's for the winner and low to mid 37's for the runner-up ?? Heck, the WR is only in the mid range (37.40).
