2008 Olympics Women's 4x100m Semifinal Heat2

This was the year Jamaica should have broken the world record.

[@garfieldwynter5891]

Yes I say that every day, this team should have broken the world record

[@elainefrancis8042]

Shouldve have only put Kerron in the finals with either ladies from the heats, and exactly what I had said in 2008!!

[@garfieldwynter5891]

I think jamaica got three clear chances of breaking the world record, this 2008 Team, the 2015 World Championship Team with VCB, Natasha Morrison (who had a great season) Elaine and Shelly also the Team last year with Shelly, Elaine, Sherica and Briana

[@gazagovana3291]

It might be broken in a few days at these World Championship.

[@vikingrolloishot1789]

I do feel that Jamaica has the capacity to break the record still.

[@kiranholt3296]

One of the reasons America dropped the baton is they didn't practice, the group does not practice enough. They are all focused on their individual events, rightly so, but this is one of their events too. It doesn't matter how fast you are. If a team cannot successfully pass the baton from one to another, they will make mistakes that can cause them to lose. Jamacia's baton passing was nearly flawless.

It doesn't take Einstein to pass a baton

[@vikingrolloishot1789]

Where is the finals?

[@didi33333]

tHE GOLD WAS FOR jAMAICA TO LOSE.......THE 4 FASTEST WOMEN IN THE WORLD

[@michaeldevaney5728]

God almighty passing a baton is so simple a 3 year old child could do it

[@franklynbramwell2593]

No Ato Bolden that is not what happen its not because of an administration changes by the usa team.. its because the Jamaican turned up and whopped your asses GOD BLESS JAMAICA..

[@noviandy6482]

So true, they didn't expect we were going to beat their ass one day🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@smoothnubian]

Its obvious you all hater Americans. Who won the final?

[@franklynbramwell2593]

@@smoothnubian People who whopped your asses can't be the haters it countries who cheered for us to whop your all asses are the haters and that would have been everyone else in the world especially the Chinese

[@andrewassing2269]

Should point out that Ato is not American. At least he did not compete for US. He represented Trinidad

[@aaronkoeppe9057]

practice practice practice. too bad the team usa men cant get it right

[@vikingrolloishot1789]

The reporters are blaming leadership lol jamaicans were just that good. They still would not have beaten us in Beijing.

[@NevaUndaPressure]

This event was such a trip at these games... 🇯🇲 should have stuck with these same 4 runners for the final, SS and KS were the problem that cost VC-B and S-AF a double Gold medal in the infamous final. As well, Torri Edwards was a horrible addition to the 🇺🇸 team and a poor sport overall.

[@beistrong8635]

Its easy to say in hindsight 14 years later 😅

[@NevaUndaPressure]

@@beistrong8635 Really not, for both incidents it was widely known of the problematic reasons for each athlete I mentioned.

[@beistrong8635]

@@NevaUndaPressureNaw B, the problem going into the Olympics was they didnt want SaFP in the 100m in 2008 and 4x100m in 2007. The problem with those two was magnified in 2008 from what I remember. I mean we are on the internet send a link to this "widely known" problem... Which race? Where? Words alone is just revisionist history.

[@NevaUndaPressure]

@@beistrong8635 We are talking about the 4x100m aren't we? And we... I'm referring to the exchange between Sherone and Kerron, the one where they dropped the baton and looked like complete amateurs?

[@beistrong8635]

@@NevaUndaPressure That's exactly what we are talking about. The problem that showed in the 2008 Olympic finals.

[@jordanjordannis2258]

You just know that American commentator was bitter when he said 'they successfully passed the baton' after the US dropped both theirs lol

lols they ever hear of blue khakis?😅
