Your best "same names" 4x100m relays?...

[Trickstat]

It could be argued that the names Johannson, Jonsson and Ivanov/Ivanova are all effectively the same name as Johnson. I think I have read that the name Hansen or Hanson is another variant.

[Wiederganger]

Team Miller (44.21) is faster than Team Hill and Team Jackson.

Inger Miller 10.79.
SMU 10.98.
Scottesha Miller 11.21.
Lamonda Miller 11.23.

Germany called, Team Miller are getting an upgrade:

Romy Muller (GDR) 11.02
Laura Muller (GER) 11.15

New Team:
Inger Miller 10.79
SMU 10.98
Romy Muller 11.02
Laura Muller 11.15
= 43.94

Now I have a list of top eight teams in women's 4x5000m. (I know such a race doesn't exist. But choosing six runners for two 10k, three 5k and 7.195km is too complicated for me.)

Before I post the list, can anyone guess which team came on top?

Dibaba ?

For a mixed relay:
Florence Griffith-Joyner
Al Joyner
Jackie Joyner
+ ???

Join her... Is it the same pronounciation?

Dibaba ?

That's what I thought. But their 4th runner isn't very fast. Here are the top eight.

8. Team Wambui 1:01:00.46. (Nganga 14:44.49, Esther 15:17.75, Nancy 15:22.00, Felicia 15:36.42.)
7. Team Chepchumba 1:00:55.28. (Pamela 14:56.75, Peninah 15:00.26, Joyce 15:26.19, Beatrice 15:32.08)
6. Team Kiplagat 1:00:41.41. (Florence 14:40.14, Lornah 15:06.40, Esther 15:07.87, Jemutai 15:47.00)
5. Team Cheruiyot 1:00:39.82. (Vivian 14:20.87, Rose 14:46.41, Lenah 15:44.54, Lucy 15:48.00)
4. Team Wang 1:00:11.06. (Dongmei 14:48.45, Junxia 14:51.87, Chumei 15:07.16, Xinting 15:23.58)
3. Team Wanjiru 59:56.88. (Veronia 14:44.82, Felista 15:02.28, Rosemary 15:03.49, Mercy 15:06.29)
2. Team Dibaba 58:42.13. (Tirnesh 14:11.15, Genzebe 14:15.41, Ejegayehu 14:32.74, Mare 15:42.83)
1. Team Cherono 58:27.14. (Eva 14:30.77, Mercy 14:33.95, Priscah 14:35.30, Gladys 14:47.12)

Both Mare Dibaba and Birhane Dibaba probably could have run much faster 5k if they had tried seriously. But that's the fastest official record. (Birhane does not have an official 5k time. She ran 32:11 on road 10k) The baby sister, Anna Dibaba has run only 15:59.12.

Team Chrerono would probably also win in a mixed gender relay with three men and three women. They have Abraham (13:15.70), Alex (13:25.28), and Stephen (aka Saif Saaeed Sheheen) who ran 12:48.81.

Team Johnson is an underachiever in both 4x1 and 4x4. I wonder if they could get some help from Jonsson and Johansson.

Kortnei 11.09, Kerry, 11.19, Zelda 11.23, Triste 11.26. 44.77.

Nakya 52.09, Nashonme 52.40, Alysia 52.41, Jessica 52.50. 3:29.40.

Correction. This team should be no.4.

Team Chelangat. 1:00:07.85. (Sheila 14:40.51, Sarah 15:00.61, Mercyline 15:09.45, Mercy 15:17.28)

Two Kenyans and two Ugandans. The only "multinational" ream on the list.

Does any first name "beat" these four Mikes : ( 9.85-Mike Rogers, 9.86-Michael Norman, 9.88-Michael Frater, 9.93-Michael Marsh ?


Names on the women's side are tough to match! Maybe and "all-Chris" team of Christine Arron, Chryste Gaines, Christania Williams, Christine Mboma ?
