@jivetome I don't remember which meet it was, but the most impressive relay run I've seen from King Carl was when he got the baton NOT IN THE LEAD and he ran the guy down from behind and got the Victory. Much the same as Evelyn Ashford did in the '88 Olympics womens 4x100m relay.
Holy crap! Jamaica was 2nd???? Back in 1984? behind world record usa? Y do people even give Jamaica a hard time in the sprints? Its been a long time coming

why so serious
Calvin Smith who ran the 3rd leg could have beaten Lewis in the final, if he wasn't injured in the olympic qualifiers.
