Hmm, I'd like to see the final British changeover there. Looked close.

Nevermind, replay looked okay. Just.

 

Hunt's backstraight looked good.

That's a big dissapointment for  team ..... They decided to give up mixed relay as they thing they will qualify the mixed relay based on time as 3:11,98 min is currently the best in the world ranking and they put the strongest team to the men's and women's relays. But in the second round, both men's and women's 4x400m finished 3rd in their heat, additionally, men's relay finished 3rd by 0,09s, 7th time in the second round :-( .... Women's team 4th best time in the second round, going up in the ranking but still below the line. I think they will have to absorb this thing for quite some time and in order to be able to qualify, I think they must look for more opportunities where to run relays. This will be really hard. Right now. 

Mixed relay: 3:11,98 min

Men's relay: 3:00,99 min

Women's relay: 3:27,76 min

Any medal would be amazing but in this form, anything is possible

At last the stage design makes sense!

She was 9.92 on the anchor leg yesterday.

 

I'm always a bit skeptical about the accuracy sprint relay splits. But there's no doubt that she's looked good.
