SHUT UP about sh** you don't know about, this is not funny. Last I remember you are an American, and this is not a proud moment for US:retard: (getting on my last nerve)
 
This is especially to those who ran track in college and beyond. Should it be no excuse for these baton drops? I know that they need practice. But they should have practiced this already. Am I correct? :angry:

DallasCowboyGirl, what did Coach Bethany/Coach Porter do to y'all if you dropped the baton in practice or in a meet? :angry:

TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!!​

They only get about 2 week in camp before the olympics start and it can be hard to get the chemistry together sometime but this bullcrap in two straight Olympics is running me hot.
 
I think I know what former PV legendary coach and the 1992 women's Olympic track and field coach Barbara Jacket would say about the baton drops. But I wonder what would she say about the track team's overall performance, men and women.
 



Why is it that no other country (that I'm aware of) has such a consistent issue of baton dropping at the olympics???

Right.....:xeye:
 
Training them here is not an excuse. It doesn't change the fact that we keep dropping the damn baton. If the thing stays off the ground, we win. Simple as that. It's not like they are faster than us. We simply keep fugging up. That's totally on us. Nothing they are doing.
 
Disclaimer: I am not a Track coach.

It seems to me that (after watching both races and replays) the person handing the baton off simply missed the exchange. The handoff is the responsibility of the person handing-off the baton. The trailer has to put that baton squarely in the palm of the other runner, before he/she lets it go.....

I don't know who really gets the blame, other than the (handoff) runner itself.

Lack of concentration or focus, however you decide to label it...
The handoffs are critical. The running takes care of itself.

Usain Bolt, Asafa Powell and Shelly-Ann Frazer (Jamaica gold medal 100 meter runner) all never attended college in the states or train in the states.

I doubt it. This is the year of the Jamaicans. They would've probably won both any way.
 
we have too many pretty boys running with their ear rings, personalized uniforms, wavy hair etc......give me some dogs...

that hurdler from Cuba ran with glasses on and smoked the field...Bolt would run naked if he wants too
 
First, much respect to China for "Project 119" and not <b>talking about it</b> but doing something about their lack of showing. Unlike "typical" americans, like too many in this current thread right now :retard:, those folx put action behind their words. One, w/ any <b>semblance</b> of intelligence and 1/2 of an ounce of intellect :retard:, can't help but applaud them for their efforts because they accomplished what they set out to do.

Tell the americans to stop taking <b>performance enhancing products</b> and do it naturally (hopefully) like the rest of the world. Maybe then the US <b>congress</b> would CEASE w/ the CONSTANT barrage of interrogations into SPORTS and SPORTS MEDS ENHANCEMENTS. :retard: Damn, some of you are getting all bent out of shape like you're currently in Beijing running. :retard: Stupid. :retard:

PROJECT 119 on your *F*'ing asses. :uzi: :p :emlaugh: Brains... pure brains by China. :tup:
