    Bolt should call Lance Armstrong for some tips on how to keep it going.

    Check the baton exchange mechanics! I've never seen the baton passed around like that. It's an underhand exchange. smart. efficient.

    plus they got a black guy running for them. Japanese on his momma's side?

    Born in Jamaica, but raised in Japan since age 2. Much different than countries like Bahrain buying Jamaican sprinters

    Japan's baton passing will be studied and the gold standard going forward, so fluid

    They don't slow down when they pass. It's amazing. The old way is dumb now that I have seen it the Japanese way.

    It's amazing it took this long to try underhand baton passing... Really is more efficient because there's less twisting of the upper body reaching back low compared to high...

    I agree, it's going to be copied going forward..

    Gay.. Smh.. Dude was pissed...still no Olympic medal and this is probably it for him..
