3 times now, they've had bad passes because one (or more) of the runners started too early.
When you have 4 or the 10 fastest guys in the whole field on the same team, what's the big hurry? What, the downside is you win a gold medal without breaking the world record? Who cares?

Again.
And the women were flawless, in a down pour. Time to pass the baton of leadership to women, that can handle it.
And Richardson did it with 5 inches of nails.
