So no one noticed how fast and excellent the third British runner ran. I've never seen a better runner running the bend like that. Anybody who has ran a bend will know that was superb. For me, he won that race. Mitchel also was excellent.

[@ChaosCat79]

That would be Danny Talbot you're rightly referring to. He was in the form of his life that year (set his current 200m pb of 20.16 in the heats of that same World Champs, placing him in 9th place on the UK all time list over the distance) and was a stalwart of the GB 4x100m team for several years by that point. The following year though, his career was nearly ended by a serious car crash he was in that would mean he missed the whole of the 2018 season. He's back now, but has raced very sparringly, largely as a result of the whole Covid lockdown prematurely ending the 2020 athletics season. His third leg run in this race was undoubtedly his finest hour as an athlete, no question about it. It was a thing of beauty.

@ Cheng Liu I thank you for pointing the way to what was a clear and definite foul on the part of the UK Team. IAAF Competition rule 170 would seem to apply. I'm unclear whether or not intent plays a part in the rule interpretation, but a blow to the head is certainly an impediment in my book. But I concur with your observation of Su Bing Tian's determination. It is most noteworthy.

[@ranhill62]

@@granvillewalkerjr.8394 Even if it was an impediment, no way in HELL would GBRs win be reversed... On home soil, British record, and world champions first time ever? Again, no way in HELL.

[@granvillewalkerjr.8394]

@@ranhill62, if you pause a moment or two and take advantage of Cheng Liu's astute observation at time index 16:36, you would realize how inappropriate the words "even if it was an impediment" really are. Unless of course you don't regard a blow to the head while in full sprint an impediment. And since the event in question is over two years old without so much as a published whisper about the outcome, I would suspect the sports world isn't likely to discover how the Brits might respond to such a challenge in the face of such indisputable graphic evidence. But then again, the question of reversal was raised by you.
