[@DCGomez-zg1wd]

Good relay, looks like the winning team could have been dq'd when the anchor leg cut in without a proper lead. Although the rules are so gray that it's barely ever enforced. This is why you teach your runners to run defensively. When the passing runner made a move toward the front and moved in, she should have run into a carefully placed forearm of the athlete she was passing. Not enough to interfere, but as a warning that she was impeding her competitor's progress.

[@ILOVEHATSUNEMIKU39]

I agree should of been disqualified

[@christophermarshall7065]

Touche. Everyone could she was tripped by her move. Disqualification would have been justifiedd, but then a big lawsuits would have resulted......

Yah its clickbait but I enjoyed it. This is an old video. Its interesting watching a race that’s not all elite athletes as it really looked like so many were struggling.

[@MJ-dq6ph]

Its not clickbait. The title never said she won it said she made up a "huge" gap which she did. She was originally in 5th but closed the gap to get 3rd

[@tensemurm5924]

@@MJ-dq6ph According to the commentary, she was in 4th at the handover. She got 3rd because one of the runners ahead of her was tripped up. She made up some distance, but only gained 1 place (and it wasn't even due to her). Hardly something amazing

[@laichanderson5937]

TO. DWIGHT ANDERSON. I am formerly from Kingston. Scientists went to ja. Yrs. Ago when Bolt.s dad said . He ran well, due to yams that grew around their house while he was growing up. The scientists said those yams had something similar to steroids in them. Superior soil is ONE consideration. AND. History says when the slave ships arrived, MOST of the slaves were dead. Those who survived were very often sent to Jamaica. Hence: inherent toughness, and the Jamaican term: we likkle but we "tallawah" pronounced talawa.
