This is just a hypothetical discussion…I was bored lol
For everyone who's keen, just fill out your favourite squad of all time, anyone from any era, and any country, just choose your favourite's, and some reasoning if you'd like.
*4×100
*4×400
and for further interest (these are probally a lot more intriguing as it's in-between distances)
*4×150
*4×300
also
*4×200
*4×800
You don't have to state your team for each relay. Remember, who runs what leg is also important in this discussion. I personally find the 4×150 and 4×300 as perhaps the most compelling as they could involve 100/200 and 200/400 runners respectively. Do you choose guys to race up or race down? The athletes who are already hybrids are probably the safest bet.
4×100
1.) Jon Drummond (his opening in Atlanta? games was crazy)/ Carl Lewis (awesome athlete, nough said)
2.) Asafa Powell (quickest runner ever)
3.) Tyson Gay (quickest curve ever recorded en route to 19.68)
4.) Maurice Green (his anchor legs make him appear 1000x faster then he usually does-best anchor ever?)
4×400
1.) Jerome Young I dunno?
2.) Butch Renolds I spose?…?
3.) Jeremy Wariner (2004 NCAA, no more COULD be said)
4.) Michael Johnson (fastest runner ever – makes a lot of sense)
4×800
1.) Seb Coe (best middle distance runner ever…so far, though El gurr??? and Kipketer go close because of records)
2.) Bordakovfisky?? (such talent, would've anchored except his problems with kicking judgement)
3.) Steve Cram?
4.) Wilson Kipketer (WR holder)
4×200
1.) Tyson Gay (4th fastest ever)
2.) X-man (2nd fastest ever – has to be in consistent form though)
3.) Wallace Spearmon (3rd fastest ever)
4.) Michael Johnson (one night in Atlanta…)
4×150
1.) Maurice Greene (in his 200m days)
2.) Carl Lewis (just awesome)/ or maybe Bailey
3.) Tyson Gay (best 100/200 combo ever-so why not lol)
4.) Michael Johnson (he's my hero – I couldn't leave him out-but has to be from that day in USA, Atlanta, 1 August, 1996)
4×300
1.) Wallace Spearmon (200m specialist, but has ambitions in 400m, strength an issue but should be smokin to 300)
2.) X-man or Butch Reynolds (you pick)
3.) Jeremy Wariner (can run fast enough 2's)
4.) Michael Johnson (WR holder)
I got stuck with 4×400 on legs 1 and 2, i'm sure someone can correct me. As you can see many of my picks are recent dudes, I did that cause they are the fastest lol. If you want you can also guess the time your relays will run. Aern't many relays where I live so I can't really judge too well how my temas would've faired.
