- Since then the history of the event has remained strong in the country, despite not winning any other Gold since that day 72 years ago. Seeing that they have more Olympic and world championship medals in the events than any other event on the male side.
I think this just shows the flaw in this world relays method of qualifying teams. The teams making it to the Olympics should be the absolute best teams in the world, and there is no question that Jamaica is one of the best 16 teams. If they don't qualify, it's an indictment on the system that failed to get the best teams there. Qualifying 14/16 teams based on their form 3 months before the Olympics doesn't make any sense.
You actually have a strong point.....
The ironic thing is that those college kids ran a faster time than all the teams at the World Relays. However, all is not lost. They are planning to run a 4x400 at the end of the trials where they hope to assemble a team comprised of the better quarter milers who had previously declared themselves unavailable for relay competition.
Ye I just commented something relaying to that. So man Jams were saying JAAA should get a team together.
They have one last chance at the 4x400M this Sunday at the end of their Olympic Trials. I think they are going to run the top four from the Saturday night's final... don't know what competition they will have...
That's insane. I had no idea they had a team every Olympics basically since the end of WW2.
You know I've been seeing a lot of Jamaicans say that JAAA should hold a 4x400m relay at the national trials.
It's not unheard of for nations to have relay finals. My country, Sotuh Africa usually have relays at the end of the champs.
However I'm not sure when the Qualification ends for relays. I'll have to double check, but from what the Jamaicans say. It's probably just after their Nationals end.
I've always wanted to see Wayde run the anchor leg in the 4x400 like there's no tomorrow.
I actually agree with that idea, it can work, the hardest part is to get countries willing to send athletes, or find athletes who are willing to come.
what about 4x400 mixed
They are fine in that event.
If dem Nuh qualify mi Nuh feel sorry fi dem
Really ?? No Jamaican Colours in the final event, Won;t feel weird ?
