Bol gets back to third place! Terrible TV directing.

 

Edit: Dutch DQ for impeding France while picking up the baton.

NED DQF.  There’s some rule that the baton must go forward at all times I think.

Rare victory for !  According to Michael Johnson on BBC, Dutch were out of their lane (first exchange) & impeded France, so that’s why.

 

Sorry, that’s not right, was 2nd exchange, just obstruction.

EPIC failure by B team. There will be massive shitstorm over this. Gacka is C level and Holub is totally off the form.

The baton may well fall down. However, Klaver should have picked it up and not the third runner. Therefore the justified disqualification.

Slower than Switzerland is very weak indeed. At least Kaczmarek could have run here as well.

Holub got spiked by the Canadian and had a bloody foot but it's still inexcusable performance.

 

into Men's 4x400 final.

 Very disappointing! Maybe miss out both 4x4 in the final!
