JAMAICA- 4X200 Record??

[Hano]

safa will run 400s because he doesn't have to go all-out on the 2 curves - in a 200 he can't risk it, because 1 more groin explosion & his career is over

as for rest of team, even if safa risked a 19.9, you have :

19.1
19.9 ( safa )
19.9 ( mullins )
20.1 = 79s

against that you have americans with

19.5 - tyson
3 of 19.7/19.8 with zebra/dix & wally = 78.6 - 78.9s

it's closer than i 1st thought, but the 3 americans can repeat 19.7/19.8, mullings has only done 19.9 once

Meaning that for either team the world record of 1:18.68 (giving the benefit of rolling starts) is for the taking.

[eldrick]

yes

knock off 3 rolling starts at ~ 0.8s/piece

[Hano]

yes

knock off 3 rolling starts at ~ 0.8s/piece

And if someone is really interested in taking a WR down, indoor the record stands at 1:22.11 by GB (Christie Linford, Braithwaite Darren, Mafe Ade, Regis John).

Forget Crawford even, Merritt for the first leg!!!!

How often does either (any) country have 4 guys go 20.0 or better the sameday.

Forget Crawford even, Merritt for the first leg!!!!

No way Merritt is better than Crawford in the 200.
And certainly not for the main line up against Jamaica.
He'd be on another team(maybe) with XMan, dude from FSU, and Rodney Martin.
