I REALLY want to see Bolt get the stick with a 2m deficit and make it a race.

If Bolt and Gatlin get the stick even that'll be a great race.

[booond]

I just want the American anchor to get the stick.

For about 30 meters . . .

Agree, even though I think Gatlin will 2nd, Bolt is more likely to loose the open 100m than to lose on anchor getting the baton even.

Good post here !

True, though the anchor also needs to get the stick without any of them having committed an infraction.

If Bolt and Gat got the baton even in a 4x100, that will go in Bolt's favor almost 100% of the time. Gatlin's strength is his start and first 30m; with a running start, he would stand little chance of keeping up with Bolt.

Quite true... Ask Dave Sime.

Do we know who is running (and order) for US ?

Believe its Bracy-Gatlin-Rodgers-Bromell or in the off chance Bracy doesn't look good, Rodgers-Gatlin-Gay-Bromell

So, basically it's all up to Gatlin (to establish 5m lead).

[uakari]
