Powerhouse sprint team USA have been disqualified from the 4x100 men’s Olympic relay race. The Americans are in the middle of a relay curse and have not won the event since Sydney in 2000. This time they were ruled out due to a bumbled baton exchange. Even without sprint king Noah Lyles, the team of Christian Coleman, Kenneth Bednarek, Kyree King and Fred Kerley were still the hot favourites.
This one still hurts. A lot. “It just didn’t happen ... Maybe we could have put in some more work it just didn’t happen. “We practised a lot. Me and Kenny have been awesome teammates a few times over the years. We felt really confident. It just didn’t happen. “We’re our own biggest critic. We’re disappointed because we know we had the speed to do it. It’s part of the sport that you come into it with the risk reward.” But US Olympics legend Carl Lewis was outraged.
