    Apparently the Qatar team was ranked #1 in the world this year. Announcers were talking about it being Qatar's first legit shot at a gold.

    Haha the announcers said they were recruited to Qatar to play, so they came from other countries for sure.

    I like how the Israeli baseball team is pretty much all nth generation Americans of partial Jewish heritage that all got dual citizenship in the last two years.

    USOC claim he didn’t break any rules :meh:

    Has mixed relay always been a thing? I don't remember ever seeing it.

    Also are there rules to who can do what strokes?

    I’m surprised they got reinstated. They were way off. The guy got an extra like 10m while the girl had 10m less. Presumably the guy was the faster of the two.

    I guess they agreed they were told the incorrect spot to line up. I’m still not buying that they believed that the second (?) shortest lane gets a big ass stagger.
    It’s enormous, glaringly obvious, and quite frankly a little hilarious to see on video.

    Michael Johnson thinks an official lined them up wrong. Apparently they aren't the only team that used the wrong zone.

    The Nigerian on leg 3 is also pretty hilarious, and the first line of the video talking about having no issues on 4x4 exchanges is good, too.

    apparently multiple teams were scrambling to get back in position after the official screwed up. US team didn't adjust.

    Glad they got reinstated. I always enjoy the 4x4 mix. That one year Poland ran both dudes to start and Michael Cherry by girl at the end like she was standing still lol, good shit.
