Love the 4x1.
Let's look at those who excelled on the individual legs.
Lead off. Here ya want that guy with a blazin' start who can also cook a curve.
Nesta Carter Jamaica
Mike Marsh UCLA
Jon Drummond TCU
Andre Cason Tex A&M
Long second leg, here ya want a guy who can cook a 200m, if ya handoff early in the zone and handoff late, this sprinter can run the largest % of the 4x1.
Leroy Burrell Houston
Ato Boldon Trinidad/UCLA
Justin Gatlin Tennessee
Bernard Williams Florida
Once again ya need a guy who can run a solid 200 because of the curve.
Calvin Smith Alabama
Shawn Crawford Clemson
Dennis Mitc Florida
Bruny Surin Canada....not a 200 guy at all, hmmmm?
On anchor ya need that guy who has that great 100m PR, a guy with superior speed endurance. He decellerates slower than the norm.
Bullet Bob Hayes Florida A&M
Carl Lewis Houston
Usian Bolt Jamaica
Donovan Bailey Canada
But, ya can be compe ive running average sprinters if the stick work is great. A French team once ran a WR without any "great" sprinters there. Both Japan and China have ran great times using very average sprinters.
SFS being my equal on sprint knowledge, what is your take on this? Anyone who ran a 20.00 as a kid I need to pay attention to.
The USA had a faster sprinter (100m times) on every leg over Japan, so what happened?
The fastest sprinters in the world in 2016, where are the Japs? The second fastest 4x1 team in the world with their fastest sprinter where?
