2021 mOG 4x1: you sure you wanna open this one?

[ATK]

Im guessing hes not injured, but if Lyles and Bednarek run well in the 200m, there is a scenario where Bromell does not run the final for the US.

Baker-Kerley-Bednarek-Lyles

A rules question - is there now a single 30-meter exchange zone? With the old acceleration zone now merged with the old exchange zone?

Yes there is.

I agree Baker , Kerley, Bednarek , Lyles. I would maybe run Lyles 2nd and Kerley last based on experience in the 4x100. Kerley would have to handoff 2xs. The Brits and Canadians, Japanese, and chinese, plus Brazil will be the challengers in my opinion.

I'll be shocked if the OT 100 winner isn't on the. team

Unless he really was managing a small injury.

Will US, GB, Jamaica, and Italian teams make the final? Yes.
Medals: Italy, Japan, GB. US and Jam DQ or DNF

The above prediction is team USA nightmare.

More realistically Jam & US will miss final (DQ & DNF). GB: qR:Advanced To Next Round By Referee.
Final: Japan, Italy, Canada (remember Andre is running the anchor). Canada will be DQ and GB will get bronze after 3 hours deliberation.

Well we have seen an Italian win Gold in the men's 100m, a 400m runner win silver in the men's 100m and 2 swiss women run sub 11 finishing 5-6 in the women's 100m.

We should expect more surprises.

We should expect more surprises.

It seems as though we've had far more than the usual share of surprises so far, yes/no/maybe so - consequence of Covid and the year's delay?

De Grasse is gonna run some people down....hopefully!

With Brown, himself if Im the Canadian coach, Damien Warner (sp) should also be added to the team, they can challenge for Gold with that squad.

Italy relay:
Lorenzo Patta - Marcell Jacobs - Eseosa Desalu - Filippo Tortu

I was thinking the same thing after watching DW's run in the 100 this morning. But his legs will probably be finished after the Dec. If it started early in the meet I'd definitely have him on the team.

Italy relay:
Lorenzo Patta - Marcell Jacobs - Eseosa Desalu - Filippo Tortu

I was going to say I'd like Jacobs and Tortu to switch places since I think MJ is better at running down other sprinters but I get the strategy for this order.

Following up after the 200m, I think this should still be the US team. Either way, I don't think Lyles or Bromell is running down De Grasse on anchor though to be honest.

I don’t think he will have to.
