In arguably the strangest thing seen at the Olympic Stadium in Rio this week the US women's relay team raced around the track by themselves on Thursday night.
But it was anything but a practice run for America's 4x100m stars as they qualified for the final by racing only against the clock after controversy had marred their heat.
Ah ok thanks.
Thats really stupid, they should run the whole heat again with everyone if there was some bungle/interference.....because race pressure and relative dynamics in operation are a big part of the whole thing.
China are then well within their right for appeal....but in the appeal list they should have started with point 2 rather than point 1 (diff uniforms or whatever)....because I couldn't make out what they really wrote in point 2 (and now i get it and its a serious point for sure) but point 1 is very clear and seems like just strange but funny thing.
I am afraid this appeal will not be successful so China has to make an issue of this at the highest level at next official IOA meeting.
