if somehow they find a way to save the US men's 4*100m relay's ass, it's a scandal...their last handover was meters outside the zone...

 

in the meantime, once Tamberi went out, Italian tv commentators are talking of the men's high jump final as if they were attending to a funeral...low voice and sad tone...except right now for the 2.35 by Barshim (they're clearly routing for him now)...

Barshim 2,35m first time! This could be gold medal right there!

3.35 and the 1st place

sadly, not yet..Akimenko also did it and therefore he's ahead on countback...

 

and Ivanyuk is over 2.35, too

This is Afro-USA 

Not very surprising. Black athletes in the US are on average poorer, so they are more willing to dope. Just like people in Africa or China.
