I can't believe what am hearing....

VCB isnt running in the final because she is not allowed to run anchor I hear.

are u sure,because she did say she is willing to do 2nd or 3rd leg,but not the start.

They reported it on CVM. I am waiting on seeing he finals before I make any judgements. But apparently it is being said that she was told she cannot run the anchor and as such she walked out on the team. The final apparently is going to be the same as the semi.[/quote:36vs2fsl]

TVJ is reporting that VCB says she has never trained to hand off the baton and it would not be safe for her to be doing it in the final of the World Championships

Its true TVJ,just announce it .VCB say she was explaining to them she cannot run the 3rd leg as she did not practice to pass a baton in that position,she say she practice to receive the baton on the last leg,so she is not confident to run 3rd. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

wow that's a horrible excuse of why you wouldn't want to win gold for your country and yourself.

Exactly! JAM should win this with very safe changes - at least take the medal :?

Dirty bloomers and bibs hanging every where with what looks like black green and gold stripes.

And the NBC said she was injured, yea right...extremely immature and un-respectable move by VCB.
