Germans Drop the Baton

I did put this topic on my list of things to do, when they dropped it in the heats of the 4 x 100 metres relay.  But I decided that I wouldn’t complete it until the event was over.  I didn’t want to put the fluence on the British team, who in the end got a bronze medal, less than a second behind the Jamaicans.

The Americans had helped the British cause by being disqualified too.

It always puzzles me, why when you perform at these high levels, you do stupid things like that.  Just as the British quartet showed here, if you get the baton round well, you’re in with a chance. 

But then, we’ve had our failures in the past!
