Men's 4x100m Round 1 Highlights -- Jamaica & USA Win -- London 2012 Olympics

Coverage of the first round stage of the men's 4x100m relay event from the Olympic Stadium as the Jamaican and USA teams win their respected heats at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Team GB were disqualified from the race following a illegal baton hand-over so their second place went to Canada with the Netherlands also qualifying as a result.
Since 1896, athletics has been on the programme of each edition of the Games of the Olympiad. Its presence on the Games programme has allowed its popularity to increase across the world. This popularity was also strengthened by the creation of the IAAF in 1912. Women's events appeared for the first time at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, while the men's programme was standardised as of the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. Although at the beginning women were authorised to participate in only some events, today their programme is almost identical to that of the men.

This timing of London Round 1 Jamaica 37.39 is even faster than Tokyo 2020 Final Italian Timing of 37.50, pretty insane even without Usain Bolt. The Jamaicans were simply stunning at their peak

[@jayjayofficial2754]

Don't know where Jamaica go wrong

[@axdan_8]

@@jayjayofficial2754 Jamaica simply didn't find any young talent after the likes of Usain/Blake/Powell. And on the other hand, USA is having a whole new generation of incredible sprinters. They're doing really well

[@TheAlexbuffon]

@@axdan_8 I believe Jamaican men will be back, but I mean in a way what your comment describes is to be expected, Jamaica’s population is comparable to Houston, so they’d be much less likely to keep churning out world class sprinters like the states. Jamaicas small size relative to their great success is why they’re so outstanding.

[@TheAlexbuffon]

Also a lot of top worth youth and junior finalists and winners for some reason just didn’t make the step up to the senior level well for jamaica. Skeen, Todd, minzie, Murphy, and the list goes on. All were either finalists or medalists at the world u20/u18 level since 2010 and yet barely improved as seniors sadly. Seville looks to be the first one to break thru the youth barrier since maybe Bailey-cole

Blake got the baton behind Gay and reeled him in comfortably. If athletes are next to eachother around the bend, the inside one is actually a meter ahead. Bolt took off quite late in the final and that allowed the American team to catch up by a meter or so. Bottom line is I must agree with your final word, Jamaica!
