There are several things to consider when deciding the order of runners. Being good in the curves is important to consider as well. You're making it simpler than it is!

Such bs. She threw the baton which means an auto DQ.

Honestly, I have never wondered about that for a second really  

 

As in, I have never even thought about it, just like I don't think about why there are no Kyrgyz or Vanuatu or South African members or something.

Just watched the replay. How could you even say she wasn't impeded? If it was another country besides America you wouldn't have a problem with it.

It should have been either a DQ or a re-run which, if their time was fast enough, would put them in the final but not take anyone out (though I don't know if there are 9 lanes here as often there are). 

 

If they make it, China is royally screwed over.

It's really stupid because there is a 9th lane... but it doesn't extend into the bend

Again, how can any of you say she wasn't impeded by the Brazilian runner?
