4th should be Lyles and Richardson

The scenarios that you laid out are the best scenarios for gold. Men: Coleman - Kerley - Bednarek - Lyles The caveat here is that the first handoff (Coleman-Kerley) has been spotty to dangerous (Coleman ran all up on Kerley's back). Although Bednarek is not enthusiastic about running the third leg, that is the difference between just gold and the American Record (37.10)/WR. No team besides the Jamaicans can match that foot speed (Kishane Thompson is the variable in this equation). Women: Jefferson - Terry - Thomas - Richardson Depending on when the 200m final is scheduled, I would run the 3 100m team members (since none qualified for the 200m) in the prelim with a swap out of Thomas for Davis or Clark. I'd run the 2nd team as much as possible. Thomas made her case for the 4x400m relay team in the Bahamas as well, and she may be needed more there (K. Brown - Thomas - Ellis - SML). Question: Are we going to get a test run at the Paris DL or Monaco of the relays before the Olympics? As always, excellent analysis and straight-forward presentation that engenders dialogue.

Your choices are solid!!

Great vid!

I totally agree with you on both teams !

Exactly which is why Gabby deserves a spot. She can run almost any leg (except lead off) and has proven that despite a slower PB on paper, she is one of the fastest from a flying start. Same thing (king of) applies to Kenny B though he ofcouse is one of the fastest guys right now, but his versatility and ability to handle the baton is extremely important. It should be VERY clear that that 4 fastest people does not always mean the best 4x100 relay. Which is also why Erriyon Knighton should enter the conversation at somepoint.

Like your assessment of the women's team too. You speak my language

9:53 Love, love, love Shericka Jackson, but Bolt is the greatest 200-meter runner alive right now.

Coleman->Bednarek->Knighton->Lyles

Ain't no question about who can hand over the baton best. Sha'Carri passes that baton WITH FULL ACRYLIC NAILS and has never fumbled; she's incredible(.)

The six (6) top finishers in Olympic 100M trial finals coupled with two (2) top curve runners if they're not in the top 6 already drawn - goes for men and women teams. The best finishers at the actual Olympic Game will, in my mind base on rules and past actions may replace two who had run heats and semi-finals. Coleman, KB, 4th place finisher in 200M; then Noah to match the Caribbean, and the rest of the world to the finish line. I love how Italy had taken the Gold in Tokyo on the line. ALL the entrance to the relay - 4X100M are practicing BATTON change - good change and speed gets medal!

I generally agree with the picks for the women's 100 meters: Jefferson, Terry, Thomas, and Richardson. I would also love to see the former collegiate star McKenzie Long included. For the men's 100 meters, I favor Coleman, Bednarek, Lindsey, and Lyles. Kerley has been outperformed too often, and Lindsey would be a better option. Regarding Knighton, I don't want to risk having medals revoked due to his pending investigation. Otherwise, I'd be perfectly fine with him on the team. Some might argue that Lindsey's time was outside the top three, but he can deliver when it counts.

Knighten does not have a pending investigation. He was cleared and given a no fault. It's done.

Some spots for the both relays will depend on performance at the Olympics. If everyone performs well, then I definitely agree it should be CC->Kerley->Bednarek->Lyles. An alternate order is CC->Bednarek->Lindsey/Knighton->Lyles or CC->Kerley->Lindsey/Knighton->Lyles CC, Kerly, Lindsey, and Kyree to run the rounds. Women: I'm putting all 100m specialist MJ->TT->Tamari->Sha'carri or swap MJ and Tamari. Same order for prelims and final since they are not running the 200m. I'm only putting Gabby on the team if she runs 21.7 or better in Paris

That is crazy, Fred Kerley medaled in the 100m at the trails. He is a world champion recently at that distance. He is a sub 9s in the 100m, sub 20s in the 200m and a sub 44s in the 400m. There is nothing justifying putting Knighton on the team over Kerley. Make him a prelim heat runner if you want Knighton on the team.

I say if it ain't broke don't fix it. They would have broken that world record last year if they had better handoffs. I will say that Tamari to MJ to Tee Tee to Sha'carri is intriguing. Tee Tee is a really good curve runner and I believe MJ is legitimately the second fastest woman in the Olympics this year, plus she's mentally powerful. Sha'carri won't need much because she has closing speed and will track down anyone in front of her, hypothetically speaking. Imagine the first three legs blowing it away early. We're looking at a new world record. Sha'carri, make sure you run through that line with everything you got. As far as the guys are concerned, I really don't care who you put at 2nd and 3rd, 1st and anchor is a lock for me too. Barring injury and premature celebrations I'm seeing world-record implications from both teams. It's all about the handoffs and finishing strong. Noah, Sha'carri run until you end up in the first exchange zone. Hell, run until you end up at the top row of the bleachers. Run until you end up in the parking lot. Hell, run until you end up back at the airport. I think y'all catch my drift🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Your picks are legit. It’s honestly an easy decision. Kenny is just going to have to get over it and run the freaking curve.

For men 1st leg Coleman his start is very fast to get away from a lot of first leg. 2nd leg Fred Kerley his finishing and top-speed is good combined with his endurance to maintain his speed for longer which can chase down lots of athletes. 3rd leg Bednarek or knighton both are good at the curve as we saw both in the 200m curve. Anchor leg Lyle’s, his top speed is just unstoppable. The biggest threat will be Jamaica 4x1 since ackeem Blake who’s a good starter Seville, kishane Thompson both are really good at top speed could be a challenging team for the U.S. If Thompson is the anchor then it could challenge Lyle’s top speed since Thompson hit 9.77. Coleman will be able to get away or catch Ackeem Blake. Oblique Seville might keep up with kerley. But idk if kishame Thompson will be part of the relay or not? I feel like the U.S 4x100 and 100m is going to be challenging from the 9.82 Seville 9.77 Thompson. We just gotta hope for good baton pass for the team.

Nice video! It’s nice to see a video about our American athletes. I Keep seeing videos of how the US should be scared of Jamaica. I think not! Let go USA 🇺🇸

Knighton should be in the conversation. He isnta a 100 guy but he showed he can put up some numbers on relay in the early season

Gabby's 200 pr is 21.60; that is back to back 10.80s, do the math; with a running start, she is sub 10.80, she runs the crap out of the curve, put that woman in that curve and watch the SMOKE!! I'm calling it now-WORLD RECORD, maybe sub-40!!

The problem with the USA team is their coordination as a team, Putting athletes who run fast individually doesn't matter, you have to practice as a team and build the coordination. Either the Individual athletes should do that or they should build a seperate team for the relays, who maybe are slightly slower but can practice as a team.

I agree but if you look at 2019 USA team they had 9.76 Coleman Old Rodgers Old Gatlin and Young inexperienced Noah Lyle’s on anchor. That team ran 37.10 none of them ran under 9.9 other then Coleman. Look at this years 100 meters it’s stacked compared to that. Noah Lyle’s way faster now than before. Benerak peaking and could run low 9.8. Kerley can also run mid to low 9.8 and Coleman is in 9.92 possibly high 9.8 form. This the most stacked 4x100 we’ve seen. They get the passes right i could see them running 36.9 idk about world record but they should definitely go under 37 and win gold

Relays are a diff mentality then the open 100m. I ran 2nd leg throughout high school and we lost 2 times in 3yrs... I believe Knighton should be 3rd leg. He'll blaze it. I'm not feeling Kerley tbh. Run Kerley in the prelim and see how he does. I would also run Knighton in the prelim for a warmup.. but the finals Coleman has to be first. Lyles brings it home. Kunfu Kenny 2nd if he wants it

US sprint fans all remember the Olympic and WC fiascos with Muna Lee, Doc Patton, English Gardner, Mike Rodgers etc - and the near disaster in the qualifying round at Rio - but you're right lately things look corrected and fixed. The relay camps are working. Don't fix what ain't broke as they say: Christian, Fred, Kenny, Noah can go much faster imo because Kenny is at the top of his game. Same team with the ladies tho. No swaps. Melissa, TT, Gabby, and Sha' Carri should also go faster because of the experience of previously running together. My biggest concern is our qualifying teams. Who are in the relay pools?

For clarity, I dont think Muna Lee was ever involved in any relay fiasco. The only time was in 2009 when she got injured on her leg. But that wasn't a relay issue such as a dropped baton, passing outside the zone, etc.

I hope Kyrie King is on the prelim squad. He has been putting in work and has relay experience. Just for the experience, I would choose him over Knighton. The women have so many options. Hobbs, Davis and Long would all be great on the prelim rounds. And unless she is hurt Gabby is just as much a lock as Richardson. Now the 4x400 relay is where things will get juicy, interesting, and controversial.

I am even more interested who will be running in the prelims.

Dude the prelims will be Hot too...Hobbs 1st. Leg, Long 2nd.leg, Brown 3rd.leg and Gabby Anchor. Final Clark 1st.leg, Jefferson 2nd leg, T.T.3rd. Leg, ShaCarri Anchor.

They aren't going to leave Fred off the relay. The coaches said top 3 get a spot if they want it.

When do we find out who’s officially in the USA Olympic relay pool?

Tomorrow. USATF announced they’d publicly reveal relay pools July 8th. Though privately all the runners already know who got picked.

@@seensay2132 👀 who made the cut

Imo the biggest threat to Fred in the 4X100 is a fit Erriyon amd he complements perfectly the most vacant spot which is the 3rd leg. I have never seen anyome run thay bend as well as Erroiyon did earlier in the season, if he hits peak form which he would before Paris, without distrupting the balance, the natural selection imo is Coleman-Kenny-Erriyon-Lyles and only father time knows how fast that team will run as its unbeatable. But a wild suggestion especially if we keep Kenny on 2nd leg and Fred not so great on the bend is moving Lyles to 3rd leg. We have never seen hin run it but the greatest 200m runner since Usain surely on paper should run that bend better than anyone in the world right now, in Eugene he practically smoked everyone on that bend to win the WC and break the American record . And i cant see anyone catching Fred either

We should not sub speed for a 200 curve performance. Coleman, Kenney, Fred, Noah.

Since 2011 USA 🏆.

Why not put Lyles on the second leg? It’s the longest and he’s the best 100/200 runner they have.

Just one thing for the men’s relay NOAH LYLES

Coleman,knighton,kerley,lyles........ jefferson,tt,thomas,richardson

Tamari should be on first. let the training partners pass to each other. Tamari to TT to MJ to Sha'Carri = World Record. Gabby is not necessary.

Exactly this!! This is the only team that will get close to a record. If long had qualified I’d as her instead of tamari and that team would be even faster. Problem is where to put McKenzie ? She ran 2nd for ole miss and was phenomenal. But teetee terry is also a great relay runner. But also long had a great curve in the 200

Did you watch last year's WC?Gabby arguably ran the best leg. She made up a deficit by running a great curve and got the baton first to Shacarri with a perfect hand off. Relays are different from straight ahead running; especially the third leg. There isn't a better curve runner in America right now. You can't discount what she did last year and I'm sure the coaches won't forget it either.

I'm not sure how perfect it was....shacarri jogged into the take off.possibly out of fear of leaving gabby....also the hands were not great...which is why having the 3 training partners together wouldn't be a bad idea. And obviously usa best starter is Davis...

The relay coach loves Gabby and her versatility. Considering what she has done in the 200 and in previous relays, it would be hard to pass her over. She is running 2 or 3.

Question. Who gets a medal if in the prelims we had different runners? Only the people in the finals? If they all do, you put Erriyon in the prelims and let Kerley run the final. Erriyon doesn't compete in the 100 and Kerley isn't running the 200. That's a no brainer for me. I'm a tampa boy so i would love if Erriyon got two medals(potentially).

Gabby Thomas is ranked 152 all time in the 100m. the 1st to 5th finished this year in the100m final are much better than her. 5th, 27th, 28th, 31st, and 37th all time. Gabby's fastest time in the 100m this year is 11.34s. She has not earned to be on the 4X100m team. She should hands down be on the 4x200m team if there was one.

Holloway->Kerley->Bednarek->Lyles or perhaps EVEN Lyles->Kerley->Knighton->Bednarek . Sorry, but it’s no longer a given we need CC on leadoff anymore 🤷🏾‍♂️

second team maybe but different order. You get more bang for your buck with Lyles getting a running start. But the First team: nope. There is not a scenario where Holloway is picked ahead of Coleman unless CC is hurt.

@@deenice7155 Lyles got a 6.44 60 and a better 100 overall now than CC. On the second lineup, he’s better out of the blocks than the other 3. Nevermind the fact I STILL like Holloway as a possible leadoff. Even Kerley said the same thing in his Post Trials interview. Also, don’t sleep on HHers on 4x1 leadoff spots. The Great Colin Jackson and Ladji Doucoure were success stories. Just sounds revolutionary because it hasn’t been the norm on Team USA. Though certainly Renaldo Nehemiah, a prime Greg Foster and even Allen Johnson were capable of stepping in had they been afforded the opportunities.

@@seensay2132 I like Holloway. A lot. Big fan. Just saying there are better options. And better options that have practiced or participated in relays on the professional level. Almost all the top guys have been under 10 this season, so to go with Holloway would be a head turned and head scratcher. Plus he already has an olympic berth. Spread the love to others who have run faster, proven themselves multiple times this season, and may only have the relays as an option.

Firstly, there is no alternative where Jefferson is not in the relay finals. My opinion on the women is TT, Jefferson, Gaby or Davis, to Shacarri. I think Jefferson is the stronger runner than TT and therefore should be on the second leg. No arguments on the men except to say Knighton is the best curve runner by far.

@kpat3052

MJ is a more explosive starter. She should be first leg.

Call out Gatlin from retirement

Knighted is the best curve runner between all of them.

Coleman should always start, Lyles should always anchor. 2nd Fred and 3rd Kenny. 100%... Knighton is a good backup

This is not controversial. Coleman has the fastest 1st leg in history, 9.91s Kenny just beat Noah off the curve and hes better off a fly he goes 3rd. Kerley should not touch a curve. Noah should also not touch a curve. Because Noah has ran anchor plenty of times and also won the 100 and 200 he goes on anchor over fred. Both Fred and Noah have questionable hand offs but I dont expect Noah and Coleman to work well together and make good hand-offs lol. Fred already gave this order so he wants to go on 2nd, Noah already wants to go on anchor. No debates needed. They're not taking Fred off for Courtney Lindsey...

Yea I can see the case for Kenny on 2nd leg, but then that will mess up the other legs, specifically Fred who cant run 3rd. I also could argue the world relays team (Courtney-Kenny-Kyree-Noah) Could run as well. But I think Coleman and Kerley deserve to be on there as the faster team

Maybe, Jamaica is a bit more clear cut because they dont have as much depth on both sides right now. In previous years, the Jamaican women's 4x1 was always Shelly, Elaine, Shericka + 1 and that was always a team on world record watch. But with Elaine out, the team isn't nearly as fast. But Shericka, Shelly and Tia will be dangerous. I think they could run: Shelly - Tia Clayton - Lana Tava Thomas - Shericka The men will be Ackeem-Oblique-Levell-Kishane. That should be pretty simple

Men team sounds good to me

Richardson and Lyles should remain as anchor. Any change will affect American quartet from winning the gold. Coleman and Jefferson as first leg. Terry and Gabby second and third respectively. Bednareck and knighton second and third.

Tt terry was not in front of Shelly she did not surpass Shelly even though Shelly was injured

tamari davis 1st she has the best start out the blocks if she would have leaned at the line she would have beat tt

Coleman, Kenny, Fred, and Kyle's. Kenny on the longer leg cause he's a better 200 guy right now than Fred is.

Put Grant Holloway in the mix.

MIND YOU THIS IS NOW FOR THE GOLD. I SAY LYLES AND RICHARDSON FIRST TO RUN BECAUSE THE QUICKER WE CAN GET OUT FRONT WE STAND A BETTER CHANCE FOR THE OTHER RUNNERS TO WIN. 😊😮❤
