    I saw one on the broadcast. Clearly over.

    Well, the story says Ellis was told she would run third, and that leg was Gabby Thomas, who is not a 400 specialist. So that would be my guess.

    Noah Eagle, IMHO, has been very good all tournament.

    Call me insane but I'd rather have the experienced 200 m gold medalist than the 400 runner who had to run the repechage because she couldn't get out of the qualifying round.

    How the French discovered Steph Curry. I could watch this all day.

    Too much hero ball. Should have passed the ball four times before shooting.

    I’m with you. I did find it interesting that three of the four members of the 4x4 relay team that blew away the rest of the world are not primarily 400 runners.

    Including a beheaded Trump would be OK with me, like the French did with Marie Antionette.
