EUGENE, Oregon: The United States have a woeful recent record in the men's 4x100 metres relay but their quartet got the job done in Friday's heats at the World Championships despite the added pressure of running on the home track.
American teams have won only three world titles since 2001 and failed to top the podium at the Olympics since Sydney. Elijah Hall's handoff to Marvin Bracy was far from perfect but the 100m silver medallist powered through to the line to bring the Americans home in 37.87 seconds, ahead of Britain and Ghana."This is a fun part," said Coleman, the Doha 100m champion."If we put it together right, you know what I am saying, we can definitely come with the win."
"Tomorrow it is about the win so we will try to put some more effort, energy and try to come out with the American record," he said.
