Jamaica will once again not finish in the podium of the men's 4x100 relay after three consecutive gold medal wins from 2008 to 2016.
The country, which won all three Olympic relays when Usain Bolt was in the mix, looked like a much different team this time.A bad first exchange put them behind, and when 100-meter silver medalist Kishane Thompson took off too fast and had to slow down to receive the stick for the anchor lap, Jamaica was cooked.
Thompson crossed the line fourth, leaving Jamaica’s women with the only chance in the 4x100m to add to the country’s lone sprint medal so far in Paris. Jamaica will miss the podium in the men's 4x100-meter relay for the second straight Olympics after finishing 11th overall in the opening round.
