Jamaica's gonna be there.
With a guy named Bolt!

He's apparently going to double...in the 4X100 and 4X200.

And both events (along with the women's 4x100) will be must watch events. I don't know if Jamaica has announced their team yet, but the USA mens 4x100m, 4x200 and womens 4x100 are stacked.

USA look tough to beat in the men's 4x100.

The US women's DMR team is both intriguing and powerful!
In fact, I see a POTENTIAL time of 10:30 (or faster!) for them!
By POTENTIAL, I mean that EVERYbody & thing have to be close to 100%.
Anyway, here's my predicted line-up and split times.

1200---Grunewald--3:15 (3:15)
400---Moser--55 (4:10)
800---Wilson--2:00 (6:10)
1600---Rowbury--4:20 (10:30)

Even if you slowed each of them a bit, I see a potential time (and WR) of 10:40!

1200---Grunewald--3:18 (3:18)
400---Moser--56 (4:14)
800---Wilson--2:02 (6:16)
1600---Rowbury--4:24 (10:40)

Question: Why isn't there a legit 400 person on this DMR team? I can't see any of them going faster than 53---tops!!

MY thought exactly....??????

Can't they use one of the women from the 4x400 pool? Two of them will not be racing in the heats on Saturday.

[norunner Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close norunner]

I'm guessing they can use anyone from any pool. The German w4x1 pool consists of only 4 women, they wouldn't risk that if they couldn't use someone from the 4x2 pool in case of an injury.

Yeah that's weird....there are some spare 400 runners going....

DC, you Phi Beta Sigma? May have asked you before. I ask because my roommate at Tennessee was a Sigma.

I'm really excited for this! I'll be in attendance again this year.

Team USA looks tough to beat. Their women's 4x200m team looks a bit vulnerable, though. I need to see Team Jamaica's roster, though.

Andy Wheating tweeted that he has to withdraw from the World Relays---no reason given.
