About: This video is about the 4x100m Relays for the United States at the 2024 Olympic Games - Sport
That's true the best starter in 4 x 100 was Tianna Madison.
She was so explosive 🧨!
I agree. Honorable mention goes to Alice Brown. Tianna was a long jumper and her training consisted of nothing but explosion. Young people could learn a lot from her.
First leg Coleman and Jefferson. Second kerly and Tee Tee. Third Bernerk and Gabby. Anchor Noah and She carri. Knighton to sub on third in pre limes.
I concur!!!!
Tamari to Shaccari to Gabby to to Melissa Jeff.
They will break the WR........On the mens side Coleman to Lyles to Kenny Bed to Kerley......They will break the American record.
@@aaronday305 Sha'Carri needs to anchor. Period. She can run down an opponent if need be or bring it home if in the lead.
@@TanishaBolling Tamari is the best leadoff in the World so she will establish a lead. The 2nd leg is the longest on the track and Shaccari would open up a huge lead. Gabby on 3rd would extend that lead, so it doesnt matter who anchors because the race is already over.
@@TanishaBolling When it comes to relays i believe in the Mike Tyson approach. "Knock the opponent out early so they dnt stand a chance to beat you".
4x100m teams basically picks themselves it’s the 4x400m that’s difficult because some 400m hurdlers are great runners but can’t try out for the 400m team because of the competition schedules
Rai Benjamin should definitely be considered for the men's 4x400m relay even the mix.
The only criterion for the selection of US sprinters to Olympic relay squads: a firm hand with a reliable grip.
If that was the case anybody would be on the team lol
@unconventionalcrosy52 Ever heard of a joke?
@@ccbgaming6994 u defending your boyfriend? I wasn't talking to you blood
@unconventionalcrosy52 Nope, just pointing out that you missed an obvious joke. It’s ok, just accept it and move on.
I agree:
Men: Coleman ->Kerley ->Bednarek->Lyles
Women: Jefferson->Terry->Thomas->Richardson
Seems like a no brainer.
Very much a no-brainer. Its not very difficult.
Y’all keep putting gabby in over women who are faster as it yea handoff to. Sha’carri was good. Why are y’all putting all the effort onto Sha’carri ? Sha’carri cannot get out at the Olympics as she did at worlds. Not with the talent that is there. Even her teammate alana Reid.
Gabby from a running start is faster than all of them except Shacarri
*Bednarek
@@blackmenachievellc3770Alana Reid? Isn’t she Jamaican?
Men 1st Leg Coleman, 2 leg Bednareck, 3rd Leg Knighton then 4th Lyles. No one runs the curve better than Knighton. For women keep the 2023 World Championships team in the same order just replace the 1st leg with the young lady who won Silver at the Olympics Trials.
I think Knighton would be EXCELLENT on the curve, but Im just not sure he would be put on the team this year, and I think Fred should run as well as he did last year
Knighton runs that curve well but he's slower than Kerley, Kenny B, Coleman, Lyles over 100m and less.
@@getmoney3806because his start is bad. Your start doesn’t matter in the 4x1 it’s all top end speed
I would replace Gabby Thomas with Tamari Davis. Davis is faster and has a better report with the other ladies in the relay. The handoff between Thomas and Richardson last year was a fluke. If we’re talking about chemistry those 2 hated each other last year and never even practiced the handoff so chemistry with the ladies isn’t a factor. Tamari has a great start but she also holds speed to close well.
@@vuksgitau I think the women's team from last year should be kept with no changes cz they ran a super fast time with poor handoffs, imagine how much faster they could get if they actually practice their handoffs
I agree for both, honestly! Just work on them handoffs and it could be good. USA just needs to practice more!
Isn't McKenzie Long a 10.8 runner as well. No one has mentioned her once for 2nd leg Three sub 10.9 women and Shacarri with strong hand offs...Record obliterated!!!
They are not going to replace TT with Long. Not gonna happen. TT made top 3, has been on the last 2 gold winning teams, and has the reliable history. Long did not make the team. She will be used in rounds at best.
Long ran 10.8 once. Plus she will be coming off a long college season
@@nightrage4752 relays are not just the 4 fastest times ran in a straight line out of the blocks. Much more to getting that stick around first. I just hope we get it around
Yeah, they need to throw McKenzie on the relay squad. Facts‼️
I would take Gabby off ….keep TT. Add McKenzie to shake it up…..but maybe if her and Sha’Carri are solid on exchanges then don’t break that up.
Great vid!
ERRIYON KNIGHTON THIRD LEG! CURVE
Indeed this is a no brainer. No one runs that curve like him.
Though yes he would be extremely dominant on the curve, I dont think he will get a relay spot this year. I would love to see Erriyon on the curve of a relay though!
Knighton will probably not be picked for the relay cz there's a chance WADA might challenge his eligibility after his positive drug test ,,no one wants to repeat what happened to usa in 2012 where they were later stripped of the silver medal after Tyson gay was disqualified
NO!!!
Knighton eats that curve up‼️
I totally agree with you on both teams !
Your choices are solid!!
The scenarios that you laid out are the best scenarios for gold.
Men: Coleman - Kerley - Bednarek - Lyles
The caveat here is that the first handoff (Coleman-Kerley) has been spotty to dangerous (Coleman ran all up on Kerley's back). Although Bednarek is not enthusiastic about running the third leg, that is the difference between just gold and the American Record (37.10)/WR. No team besides the Jamaicans can match that foot speed (Kishane Thompson is the variable in this equation).
Women: Jefferson - Terry - Thomas - Richardson
Depending on when the 200m final is scheduled, I would run the 3 100m team members (since none qualified for the 200m) in the prelim with a swap out of Thomas for Davis or Clark. I'd run the 2nd team as much as possible. Thomas made her case for the 4x400m relay team in the Bahamas as well, and she may be needed more there (K. Brown - Thomas - Ellis - SML).
Question: Are we going to get a test run at the Paris DL or Monaco of the relays before the Olympics?
As always, excellent analysis and straight-forward presentation that engenders dialogue.
Coleman->Bednarek->Knighton->Lyles
Thanks so much for speaking on the 4x100. Can you talk about the women’s 4x400. I think they have potential to break the wr of 3.15
Just a reminder that Bianca Knight was at best an 11.07/22.35 sprinter who was in 11.13/22.46 shape when she ran on the 40.82 WR Team, gotta stop with x is 'only 11 flat' thing! On the fly ain't the same as out of the blocks!
right. I would use Tamari to TT to MJ to Sha'carri. Let the training partners pass to each other. They don't need Gabby
@@smoothnubian I'm taking 11.00/21.60 (currently in 11.00/21.78 shape) or 10.91/21.83 McKenzie on the fly over 10.82/22.17 (currently in 10.89/22.62 shape) on that long 2nd leg.
They will not break a record with gabby. Bianca knew how to run a relay. That’s the difference. Picking gabby over women who are much faster and have been on faster relay teams is crazy. She’s in the wrong leg anyway. With her 400/200 legs she she be on 2nd but she didn’t run down Shelly Ann or hold off Shericka Jackson. She also hasn’t run anything near under 10. Even Allyson Felix did that. She rarely missed a 4x1 team. Gabby isn’t the girl y’all think she is
@@blackmenachievellc3770 Allyson Felix ran sub 11/22s just SIX times each in her very long career mostly in '08 & '12. She ran the vast majority of her 10 fastest relays in years when she wasn't in either sub 11/22s shape (or both) like in '09, '11, '13 '15, '16 & '17 so miss me with that revisionism!
Exactly which is why Gabby deserves a spot. She can run almost any leg (except lead off) and has proven that despite a slower PB on paper, she is one of the fastest from a flying start.
Same thing (king of) applies to Kenny B though he ofcouse is one of the fastest guys right now, but his versatility and ability to handle the baton is extremely important.
It should be VERY clear that that 4 fastest people does not always mean the best 4x100 relay. Which is also why Erriyon Knighton should enter the conversation at somepoint.
Excellent assessment of the men's relay
4th should be Lyles and Richardson
Ain't no question about who can hand over the baton best. Sha'Carri passes that baton WITH FULL ACRYLIC NAILS and has never fumbled; she's incredible(.)
I agree woth both only question is first leg for the women Jefferson or Davis can go either way
Christian-Kenny-Erriyon-Noah is def the best team.
I think so too.
Thats a really good team, but 'm not sure Erriyon will be on the relay this year, hopefully in the future!
@@TheFinalLeg Right. And #1 Erriyon isn't faster than Fred. Kenny->Erriyon is not faster than Fred->Kenny. #2 Should something silly come back from WADA about Erriyon's previous test it could DQ the whole team. It's better not to run him.
I agree but I dont see leaving Fred off the relay, especially after he as part of the world chips.
That is crazy, Fred Kerley medaled in the 100m at the trails. He is a world champion recently at that distance. He is a sub 9s in the 100m, sub 20s in the 200m and a sub 44s in the 400m. There is nothing justifying putting Knighton on the team over Kerley. Make him a prelim heat runner if you want Knighton on the team.
The six (6) top finishers in Olympic 100M trial finals coupled with two (2) top curve runners if they're not in the top 6 already drawn - goes for men and women teams. The best finishers at the actual Olympic Game will, in my mind base on rules and past actions may replace two who had run heats and semi-finals. Coleman, KB, 4th place finisher in 200M; then Noah to match the Caribbean, and the rest of the world to the finish line. I love how Italy had taken the Gold in Tokyo on the line. ALL the entrance to the relay - 4X100M are practicing BATTON change - good change and speed gets medal!
Men is pretty cut and dry.
Coleman, Kerley, Kenny, Noah
Prelim have Knighton and someone else for last.
Women
MJ/Tamari, TT, Gabby, ShaCarri
Prelim have Tamari or Aleia sub in
From what I seen so far Kerley will be on the prelim team not final
Kenny on the final not prelim so with Noah and they still need a third leg
Like your assessment of the women's team too. You speak my language
I like your picks. Question, is the mixed 4 x 100 relay an Olympic event?
Can you do a breakdown of a mythical scenario where they add the 4x200 to the championship relays? How fun would that be! Who would be on those teams? How would it affect the 4x100 teams? Would be interesting for sure.
I generally agree with the picks for the women's 100 meters: Jefferson, Terry, Thomas, and Richardson. I would also love to see the former collegiate star McKenzie Long included. For the men's 100 meters, I favor Coleman, Bednarek, Lindsey, and Lyles. Kerley has been outperformed too often, and Lindsey would be a better option. Regarding Knighton, I don't want to risk having medals revoked due to his pending investigation. Otherwise, I'd be perfectly fine with him on the team. Some might argue that Lindsey's time was outside the top three, but he can deliver when it counts.
Knighten does not have a pending investigation. He was cleared and given a no fault. It's done.
Some spots for the both relays will depend on performance at the Olympics.
If everyone performs well, then I definitely agree it should be CC->Kerley->Bednarek->Lyles. An alternate order is CC->Bednarek->Lindsey/Knighton->Lyles or CC->Kerley->Lindsey/Knighton->Lyles
CC, Kerly, Lindsey, and Kyree to run the rounds.
Women:
I'm putting all 100m specialist
MJ->TT->Tamari->Sha'carri or swap MJ and Tamari.
Same order for prelims and final since they are not running the 200m. I'm only putting Gabby on the team if she runs 21.7 or better in Paris
Davis-Terry-Jefferson-Richardson
Gotta put Gabby Thomas on 3rd leg. She's the strongest Curve runner! Not to mention her hand off to Richardson was perfect in Budapest.
The line up that you mentioned at the beginning is my favorite one yet.
The alt line up could be:
1st Coleman, 2nd Bednarek, 3rd Lyles & Kerley anchors.
IMO, I think Lyles and Fred should always be on the straights. I do like Kerley Anchoring, but I would prefer Noah on 2nd in that case. I think the issue is, Kenny is amazing on the 2nd leg, but the other guys are not as great on 3rd so it makes that tricky.
@TheFinalLeg you got the right team but as far as 4th leg it's gotta be noah! noah is that dog that's gonna go hunt if we aren't in first place when he get the stick. he
@@braddfordy the first line up mentioned in the video is actually the best order, Kenny said that he wanted to run the back stretch and it's just out of respect 🇺🇸🥇🇺🇸
Can you please do a video about the 4x400 relay spots as well? So many more variables including the hurdlers to pull from for team USA
9:53 Love, love, love Shericka Jackson, but Bolt is the greatest 200-meter runner alive right now.
I think the men American men in the 4x100 should be the favorite. I think if Jameica got it together based on the team, they have they should be a second favorite to win, but there are some good teams from different countries the 4x100 gonna be great.
Yea Jamaica men can finally get on the podium again
I say if it ain't broke don't fix it. They would have broken that world record last year if they had better handoffs. I will say that Tamari to MJ to Tee Tee to Sha'carri is intriguing. Tee Tee is a really good curve runner and I believe MJ is legitimately the second fastest woman in the Olympics this year, plus she's mentally powerful. Sha'carri won't need much because she has closing speed and will track down anyone in front of her, hypothetically speaking. Imagine the first three legs blowing it away early. We're looking at a new world record. Sha'carri, make sure you run through that line with everything you got. As far as the guys are concerned, I really don't care who you put at 2nd and 3rd, 1st and anchor is a lock for me too. Barring injury and premature celebrations I'm seeing world-record implications from both teams. It's all about the handoffs and finishing strong. Noah, Sha'carri run until you end up in the first exchange zone. Hell, run until you end up at the top row of the bleachers. Run until you end up in the parking lot. Hell, run until you end up back at the airport. I think y'all catch my drift🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How many athletes can be substituted from the heats to the finals?
It's a long shot but I think Jenna Prandini is an excellent 3rd leg curve runner.
Finally a commentator who knows what he’s talking about 👍
You on the money and world record with these teams❤🎉🎉😊
For men 1st leg Coleman his start is very fast to get away from a lot of first leg.
2nd leg Fred Kerley his finishing and top-speed is good combined with his endurance to maintain his speed for longer which can chase down lots of athletes.
3rd leg Bednarek or knighton both are good at the curve as we saw both in the 200m curve.
Anchor leg Lyle’s, his top speed is just unstoppable.
The biggest threat will be Jamaica 4x1 since ackeem Blake who’s a good starter Seville, kishane Thompson both are really good at top speed could be a challenging team for the U.S.
If Thompson is the anchor then it could challenge Lyle’s top speed since Thompson hit 9.77. Coleman will be able to get away or catch Ackeem Blake. Oblique Seville might keep up with kerley.
But idk if kishame Thompson will be part of the relay or not?
I feel like the U.S 4x100 and 100m is going to be challenging from the 9.82 Seville 9.77 Thompson.
We just gotta hope for good baton pass for the team.
The most important factor is hand-offs, the US always has great talent and the limiting factor has always been hand offs, so I agree Coleman, Kerley, Bednarek, Lyles, but any combination that can hand-off well will win.
Gabby's 200 pr is 21.60; that is back to back 10.80s, do the math; with a running start, she is sub 10.80, she runs the crap out of the curve, put that woman in that curve and watch the SMOKE!! I'm calling it now-WORLD RECORD, maybe sub-40!!
Nice video! It’s nice to see a video about our American athletes. I Keep seeing videos of how the US should be scared of Jamaica. I think not! Let go USA 🇺🇸
Question: I know we all know Coleman is the best starter in the world. But, Coleman technically didn’t qualify for the Olympic team and would have to be added. If for some reason that the US doesn’t take Coleman to Paris, who leads off?
Courtney Lindsey
Emerole….I like your picks all down the line. Gals n Guys. Just make sure they practice handoffs daily. Tight stick care.
USA 🇺🇸
Your picks are legit. It’s honestly an easy decision. Kenny is just going to have to get over it and run the freaking curve.
You are completely wrong about TT …SAFP was injured and still passed the baton before TT, Jamaica’s downfall was really the 3rd leg(go look), Forbes was no match for Gabby! Plus Jamaica has been running in the wrong order! Shelly should start, Elaine(Tia) 2nd and Shericka 3rd, that is enough lead for the anchor to bring it home no matter who it is! If Elaine was available, it would be a sure thing!
Safp slowed down significantly and only handed first cz they Made the pass early into the zone and bcz Forbes obviously realized something was wrong with shelly ann.. I'm pretty sure if it was Elaine on 3rd leg they wouldn't have made the pass cz she always gets out too quick
Nothing is a sure thing in track. Ask Athing Mu, Coleman. No guarantees.
Shelly has not been doing first leg because of her knee and she doesn't want to run the curve. That's why the order has been the way it is for the last few years. Shericka is now faster so it makes sense to keep her on 4th which leaves Shelly on 2nd.
@@kpat3052 Shelly is the likely the fastest starter, with her start we are leading at the baton change, that lead set us up for the win!
It’s not about who passes the baton first. They were staggered. The us was always in the lead and Shelley got ran down but not only TT but ol girl from the UK
Oh man so much talent and only four can run........lol. However, I would go with Men: Coleman, Kerley, Bednarek and Lyles
Women: Jefferson, Terry, Thomas and Richardson. I think both teams have the potential to win the gold and challenge the world records. Go USA!
US is clearly the favourite on both relays. But no way they are in shape to challenge the world record.
Knighton on the 3rd leg he’s better curve runner
Up for grabs between him, Noah and Kung Fu
Coleman, Kenneth, Norman to Noah..Norman is a terrific curve runner and has that 9.8 100 speed..
I wouldn't mind seeing Coach Carl Lewis being named the Head Coach of U.S. Track and field ?
He bloody should
Mike probably picks Carl's brain since they are friends.
Absolutely!
We need diversity in coaching
I think the top 4 at trials should be the finals team . They've earned it based on their speed this year. Use the others like Gabby as subs for the rounds
Relays are a diff mentality then the open 100m. I ran 2nd leg throughout high school and we lost 2 times in 3yrs... I believe Knighton should be 3rd leg. He'll blaze it. I'm not feeling Kerley tbh. Run Kerley in the prelim and see how he does. I would also run Knighton in the prelim for a warmup.. but the finals Coleman has to be first. Lyles brings it home. Kunfu Kenny 2nd if he wants it
36.84 is not an easy get !!! ( look at the individual legs speed CARTER , 9.7, Blake 9.6, Bolt,9.5 and Frater a beast on the back straight 9.8 ) how does the USA stay up without slowing down the baton .
I agree but if you look at 2019 USA team they had 9.76 Coleman Old Rodgers Old Gatlin and Young inexperienced Noah Lyle’s on anchor. That team ran 37.10 none of them ran under 9.9 other then Coleman. Look at this years 100 meters it’s stacked compared to that. Noah Lyle’s way faster now than before. Benerak peaking and could run low 9.8. Kerley can also run mid to low 9.8 and Coleman is in 9.92 possibly high 9.8 form. This the most stacked 4x100 we’ve seen. They get the passes right i could see them running 36.9 idk about world record but they should definitely go under 37 and win gold
The problem with the USA team is their coordination as a team, Putting athletes who run fast individually doesn't matter, you have to practice as a team and build the coordination. Either the Individual athletes should do that or they should build a seperate team for the relays, who maybe are slightly slower but can practice as a team.
When do we find out who’s officially in the USA Olympic relay pool?
Tomorrow. USATF announced they’d publicly reveal relay pools July 8th. Though privately all the runners already know who got picked.
@@seensay2132 👀 who made the cut
Agreed
US sprint fans all remember the Olympic and WC fiascos with Muna Lee, Doc Patton, English Gardner, Mike Rodgers etc - and the near disaster in the qualifying round at Rio - but you're right lately things look corrected and fixed. The relay camps are working. Don't fix what ain't broke as they say: Christian, Fred, Kenny, Noah can go much faster imo because Kenny is at the top of his game. Same team with the ladies tho. No swaps. Melissa, TT, Gabby, and Sha' Carri should also go faster because of the experience of previously running together.
My biggest concern is our qualifying teams. Who are in the relay pools?
For clarity, I dont think Muna Lee was ever involved in any relay fiasco. The only time was in 2009 when she got injured on her leg. But that wasn't a relay issue such as a dropped baton, passing outside the zone, etc.
I hope Kyrie King is on the prelim squad. He has been putting in work and has relay experience. Just for the experience, I would choose him over Knighton. The women have so many options. Hobbs, Davis and Long would all be great on the prelim rounds. And unless she is hurt Gabby is just as much a lock as Richardson.
Now the 4x400 relay is where things will get juicy, interesting, and controversial.
im a jamaica ............ it had me laughing when he was asked if any team or country could put up a challenge and he said none. 😃. Oh well that is his opion. we will see
I am even more interested who will be running in the prelims.
Dude the prelims will be Hot too...Hobbs 1st. Leg, Long 2nd.leg, Brown 3rd.leg and Gabby Anchor. Final Clark 1st.leg, Jefferson 2nd leg, T.T.3rd. Leg, ShaCarri Anchor.
Tamari should be on first. let the training partners pass to each other. Tamari to TT to MJ to Sha'Carri = World Record. Gabby is not necessary.
Exactly this!! This is the only team that will get close to a record. If long had qualified I’d as her instead of tamari and that team would be even faster. Problem is where to put McKenzie ? She ran 2nd for ole miss and was phenomenal. But teetee terry is also a great relay runner. But also long had a great curve in the 200
@@blackmenachievellc3770Long will be in Paris for the 200. Doesn't that make her eligible for the team? Idk I would think so
Did you watch last year's WC?Gabby arguably ran the best leg. She made up a deficit by running a great curve and got the baton first to Shacarri with a perfect hand off. Relays are different from straight ahead running; especially the third leg. There isn't a better curve runner in America right now. You can't discount what she did last year and I'm sure the coaches won't forget it either.
I'm not sure how perfect it was....shacarri jogged into the take off.possibly out of fear of leaving gabby....also the hands were not great...which is why having the 3 training partners together wouldn't be a bad idea. And obviously usa best starter is Davis...
The relay coach loves Gabby and her versatility. Considering what she has done in the 200 and in previous relays, it would be hard to pass her over. She is running 2 or 3.
Question. Who gets a medal if in the prelims we had different runners? Only the people in the finals? If they all do, you put Erriyon in the prelims and let Kerley run the final. Erriyon doesn't compete in the 100 and Kerley isn't running the 200. That's a no brainer for me. I'm a tampa boy so i would love if Erriyon got two medals(potentially).
The early rounders medal too
Tamari - Gabby - Melissa - ShaCarri
Coleman-Bednarek-Knighton-Lyles
Case closed....
Courtney Lindsey doesnt perform well under pressure we have seen that as last yr WC and US trials
Fred ain't a good curve runner imo and it's hard to substitute him for Bednarek and Lyles in the straight away
Get him on the 4x400m mixed.. 🤷♂️ he a good 400m runner by far than lyles
Kyree is solid 19.90 200m pb but still hard to substitute him for Knighton who is better curve runner imo
Knighton not in relay pool and Kenny would be 3 leg Kerley second
Courtney Lindsey? The ncaa 100m champ doesn’t perform under pressure? The one who cruised in his 200 semi? 5th place 100m with a doubt that he the 10 fastest men? Baby THINK next time.
I'm not mad at that line up either. But I just don't see how Fred it left off the relay. And unfortunately I'm not sure Erriyon will be on the team either right now.
They aren't going to leave Fred off the relay. The coaches said top 3 get a spot if they want it.
@@blackmenachievellc3770ahh yes he doesnt ncaa is different from pro elite running dude...look at his 200m and 100m he just wasnt with the field man
Women’s team: is there a case for Brittney Brown or Makenzie to be on that second leg? BB in 21.9 form might be a good spot for our 2nd best 200 runner and we know what Mackenzie can do in those relays. 🤔
Maybe in rounds.
coleman, bednarek, knighton and lyles
Imo the biggest threat to Fred in the 4X100 is a fit Erriyon amd he complements perfectly the most vacant spot which is the 3rd leg. I have never seen anyome run thay bend as well as Erroiyon did earlier in the season, if he hits peak form which he would before Paris, without distrupting the balance, the natural selection imo is
Coleman-Kenny-Erriyon-Lyles and only father time knows how fast that team will run as its unbeatable.
But a wild suggestion especially if we keep Kenny on 2nd leg and Fred not so great on the bend is moving Lyles to 3rd leg. We have never seen hin run it but the greatest 200m runner since Usain surely on paper should run that bend better than anyone in the world right now, in Eugene he practically smoked everyone on that bend to win the WC and break the American record .
And i cant see anyone catching Fred either
Christian, Kenny,Erriyon Noah
I think you may be right
The Men 4x100relay: Coleman 1st.leg, Benarek 2nd.leg,Kerley 3rd.leg, Lyles Anchor.🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I would throw in McKenzie Long possible on 2nd leg in the 4x100
Holloway->Kerley->Bednarek->Lyles or perhaps EVEN Lyles->Kerley->Knighton->Bednarek . Sorry, but it’s no longer a given we need CC on leadoff anymore 🤷🏾♂️
second team maybe but different order. You get more bang for your buck with Lyles getting a running start. But the First team: nope. There is not a scenario where Holloway is picked ahead of Coleman unless CC is hurt.
@@deenice7155 Lyles got a 6.44 60 and a better 100 overall now than CC. On the second lineup, he’s better out of the blocks than the other 3. Nevermind the fact I STILL like Holloway as a possible leadoff. Even Kerley said the same thing in his Post Trials interview. Also, don’t sleep on HHers on 4x1 leadoff spots. The Great Colin Jackson and Ladji Doucoure were success stories. Just sounds revolutionary because it hasn’t been the norm on Team USA. Though certainly Renaldo Nehemiah, a prime Greg Foster and even Allen Johnson were capable of stepping in had they been afforded the opportunities.
@@seensay2132 I like Holloway. A lot. Big fan. Just saying there are better options. And better options that have practiced or participated in relays on the professional level. Almost all the top guys have been under 10 this season, so to go with Holloway would be a head turned and head scratcher. Plus he already has an olympic berth. Spread the love to others who have run faster, proven themselves multiple times this season, and may only have the relays as an option.
Melissa Jefferson - TT Terry - Gabby Thomas - Sha’Carri Richardson
Gabby Thomas is ranked 152 all time in the 100m. the 1st to 5th finished this year in the100m final are much better than her. 5th, 27th, 28th, 31st, and 37th all time. Gabby's fastest time in the 100m this year is 11.34s. She has not earned to be on the 4X100m team. She should hands down be on the 4x200m team if there was one.
Since 2011 USA 🏆.
We should not sub speed for a 200 curve performance. Coleman, Kenney, Fred, Noah.
Firstly, there is no alternative where Jefferson is not in the relay finals. My opinion on the women is TT, Jefferson, Gaby or Davis, to Shacarri.
I think Jefferson is the stronger runner than TT and therefore should be on the second leg. No arguments on the men except to say Knighton is the best curve runner by far.
MJ is a more explosive starter. She should be first leg.
For men : Coleman-Bednarek-Knighton-Noah
For women: Jefferson-TT -Gabby-Richardson
Knighton? No....just no. He is a talent, but hasn't run within a team enviornment on this level and with consistency. I think the mens team should be coleman-Kerley-Bednarke-Lyles. If there is a sub it will be Coleman-Bednarek-King-Lyles as the last three ran at the world relays and have practiced together for a while.
They will not put Knighton in over Kerley.
knigton ain't apply because he's not very consistent in 100m
@@joaofernandodasilva681 true. Perhaps he can do the 4 x 4 because I believe he did really well in that event a year or so ago
@@joaofernandodasilva681 apply? Do you know how the relays work?
We have to stop judging a 200 curve to apply it to the 100. Running a curve is a skill but should not be the substitute for speed.
This is not controversial.
Coleman has the fastest 1st leg in history, 9.91s
Kenny just beat Noah off the curve and hes better off a fly he goes 3rd.
Kerley should not touch a curve. Noah should also not touch a curve.
Because Noah has ran anchor plenty of times and also won the 100 and 200 he goes on anchor over fred.
Both Fred and Noah have questionable hand offs but I dont expect Noah and Coleman to work well together and make good hand-offs lol.
Fred already gave this order so he wants to go on 2nd, Noah already wants to go on anchor. No debates needed. They're not taking Fred off for Courtney Lindsey...
Yea I can see the case for Kenny on 2nd leg, but then that will mess up the other legs, specifically Fred who cant run 3rd.
I also could argue the world relays team (Courtney-Kenny-Kyree-Noah) Could run as well. But I think Coleman and Kerley deserve to be on there as the faster team
Coleman,knighton,kerley,lyles........
jefferson,tt,thomas,richardson
the guy is in auto pilot mode sleep at the wheel ....Tia is well versed in the relay world and has previously thrived on em U20 world records . ..Final race for SAFP whole new vibe if the ladies bring anything near their best ..Forbes-Jackson-SAFP-Tia
Somewhat agree as for as their motivations but I think Shelly to Tia to SashaLee to Shericka. Honestly not a fan of Shericka on anchor I just feel like it takes too much for her to speed up and start closing down folks but that’s the team they have.
@@joarmor2838 The USA were not even considering Tia being a threat if SAFP is not up to her usual standard ....changes everything if Tia is in @10.7's form the idea is Jackson and SAFP will put her in front with a lead. although it now appears Jamaica is atill deciding on the spots for the pool despite Forbes and Kemba finsihing 4th n 5th.
@@jonepic8100 I understand I just wouldn’t risk Forbes or even Kemba as starters….if anything Jacko would be good on the bend as 3rd….since she is better at 200m. It’s tricky I think they need to pick them based on their strengths, both Shellly and Tia are great starters.
@@joarmor2838 Yes... Alana has been added ahead of Kemba for the relay pool! I think they need to be leading before @anchor regardless if Shericka or Tia bring it home!
@@jonepic8100 absolutely!
Why not put Lyles on the second leg? It’s the longest and he’s the best 100/200 runner they have.
Make a relay vdo of Jamaica
Maybe, Jamaica is a bit more clear cut because they dont have as much depth on both sides right now.
In previous years, the Jamaican women's 4x1 was always Shelly, Elaine, Shericka + 1 and that was always a team on world record watch. But with Elaine out, the team isn't nearly as fast. But Shericka, Shelly and Tia will be dangerous. I think they could run: Shelly - Tia Clayton - Lana Tava Thomas - Shericka
The men will be Ackeem-Oblique-Levell-Kishane. That should be pretty simple
Coleman should always start, Lyles should always anchor. 2nd Fred and 3rd Kenny. 100%... Knighton is a good backup
Knighted is the best curve runner between all of them.
Call out Gatlin from retirement
Men team sounds good to me
I think errion Knighton should be 3rd leg. 1. Coleman 2. Kenny 3. Knighton 4. Noah
Tt terry was not in front of Shelly she did not surpass Shelly even though Shelly was injured
Put Grant Holloway in the mix.
tamari davis 1st she has the best start out the blocks if she would have leaned at the line she would have beat tt
Richardson and Lyles should remain as anchor. Any change will affect American quartet from winning the gold. Coleman and Jefferson as first leg. Terry and Gabby second and third respectively. Bednareck and knighton second and third.
Bahamas: 100m sprintrrs or to change with Coleman, Kenny, Lindsey, and Noah for the final; but keep the same sprinters in the Bahamas for the prim; and for the same sprinters for the Bahamas for the priml, and then shift if necessary for the women; Tamari Davis, Gabby Thomas, Melissa Jefferson, and Sha'Carrie Richardson for the final: but the Priml: Davis, Terry, Jefferson, and Sha'Carrie Richardson, because I would put Gabby Thomas on the 400m dash relay; and I would put Fred K for the 400 m dash relays too because of their experience in it: Knighton is a 200m sprinter, but I think 🤔 that he can do that 400m dash like Tagobo, perhaps the 400m relay mixed w the Bullis Quincy Wilson (mixed) and the ladies- Thomas and Ellis, or one of those collegiate 400m sprinters who scheduled for Paris as the top three...
The US could use the same team for the 100m dash that qualified the United States or switched; but look for consistency and resilience and confidence in the training of passing the baton when it counts and obedience to the rules and regulations of the competition because it's strict !
Practice would produce confidence and consistency, especially those who are doing individual competitions..
That baton is the key to qualify and not 🚭🚫 going pass that line... but I would be praying, routing, and cheering for my USA teams for the relays because they too are chasing the GOLD 🥇🪙!!!
Thanks for sharing your insights and point of view though!!!😊
You ended the video poorly. Jamaica has three woman under 11 and Sashalee Forbes right behind at 11.0. With 4 more weeks to get sharp. This will really be a race
The Jamaicans were faster last year at world championships and lost. They got slower and USA got faster so i think that’s why he ended it like that. Never count them out but this could be a race like 2012 when USA broke the record and won by a huge margin. I believe the Jamaican men have a better chance then the women and possibly could upset the US men’s. They typically don’t do well and always mess up baton passes
this going to be the order for womens..... Jefferson - TT - Prandini - Richardson, then for the finals Jefferson - TT - Thomas - Richardson
Not bad I forgot about Prandini she definitely can hit them curves
Coleman, Kenny, Noah, Fred
Coleman, Kenny, Fred, and Kyle's. Kenny on the longer leg cause he's a better 200 guy right now than Fred is.
Are you leaving Marissa Jefferson off the first leg in your opinion she explode the blocks in the world championship US champion twice just ran 10.8 and took second place in the US trials. I’d like Davis but have you been drinking?
