Had we better 1st and 2nd legs (start & hand-offs) we would have been in front of the USA according to the expected stagger and would not have had the mishap we had.I wonder if the team coach(es) were diligent in the pre-race, going over tactics and risks: no false starts, must have a strong first leg, clean hand-offs, focus on your lane, be prepared for evasive actions, etc etc. I hate this "well it was bad luck" thing. Great teams prepare for most eventualities, even those that are less likely to happen.On another note, big up to St. Kitts & Nevis. With a population of just over 50,000 (making the Bahamas look like a continent), this little nation got 2 bronze medals, a great achievement in terms of medals per capita.
You right but you sounding like a Texan tea-party secessionist.Nation first!!

Someone somewhere must have done something right, because in both the semifinal and final the ladies ran well over half a second faster than they ever had before
My SummaryOverall, we have a lot to look forward to in London. I hope the NAAA surprises us next year with better decision making in the selection of the team and better preparation to support the athletes. I feel we will make up for our losses in London.
My SummaryWhat a sad end to the World Champs for T&T, especially considering that this is our independence weekend. Bad luck was on our side the moment the Nationals were switched to August. The mens relay team seems to be reaching their twilight. I know it was not their fault. Just a case of misfortune. The womens team is on the opposite end. Lots of promise for the years to come.Mens 4x100 was a shock to us just like Bolt's DQ to Jamaica. Socapro you might be on to something.... they shouldnt have left their good luck charm! Overall, we have a lot to look forward to in London. I hope the NAAA surprises us next year with better decision making in the selection of the team and better preparation to support the athletes. I feel we will make up for our losses in London.

Wishful thinking. I'm less optimistic, apart from with the women. I think we are in to a 'golden era' of women sprinting!

Wishful thinking. I'm less optimistic, apart from with the women. I think we are in to a 'golden era' of women sprinting!I think the men can recover come Olympics and we can definitely have at least 1 finalist in the individual 100m and medal in the 4 x 100m. Also keep in mind how well Sorrillo did to make the 200m final.I think come Olympics we can positively hope for finalists in all these T&F events:-MEN100m - RT200m - RS400m - RQ100mH - The youngster who just switched from the USA to T&T (Trini parents)400mH - JG4 x 100m relay4 x 400m relay (possible if one or two of our quarter milers improve and we pick the best team)WOMEN100m - KAB200m - KAB (She needs to train for 200m as well come Olympics & she'll make the final)400mH - Lucas (If she comes back from injury)4 x 100m relayShotputI think our men's 4 x 400m team has a lot of potential to do much better come Olympics and hopefully qualify for the relay final but I think the NAAA needs to get their act together for everything to fall in to place for Olympics!!The NAAA should also be supporting pushing more T&T athletes to go for the other events like I would like to see some heads rolls at the NAAA especially for the fiasco that happened with Jehue in the hurdles!

Remember she was 8th quickest this time around- with the added experience and training of next year she SHOULD make that final and she SHOULD be running 11.0x consistently she may even dip under 11 on one or 2 occasions.
