Another Trip Up
The US Men get silver in the 4x100m relay after yet another bad pass. Reminiscent to the women's 4x100m, runner Coby Miller took off too soon requiring him to stop cold or run out of the passing zone. The runner behind him, Shawn Crawford, basically gave him a flat tire, ripping a hole in his shoe.
Even after the bad pass, US came soooooo close to winning. When all was said and done, however, Great Britain won the gold by 1/100th of a second. In my opinion, that's a virtual tie. I mean, if there wasn't such good time keeping at the Olympics, they both would have gotten gold, right? So really, it's all the Swiss' fault. Can't be our fault. We're American! ;)
