they ran in the last, third stage of the elimination of the 4×400 meter relay race for men. They considered the Dutch and the British as their greatest rivals. The tricky thing about being promoted to the finals was that only the winners of the race could secure it directly. In addition, the top three teams with times were also entering there.
Poles in the final of the 4×400 meter relay. Only the Dutch are better
Fortunately, the latter group includes Poland, represented by Tymoteusz Zimny, Mateusz Rzeniczak, Jacek Majewski and. The Poles took second place in their race with a time of 3: 07.90. They lost 0.26 seconds to the winners, the Dutch national team.
Apart from them, in the final there will be the winners of the other two heats – the Spaniards and the Belgians, as well as the Czechs and the British who came after the Poles.
The American will not give up and fights heroically for the fin. To finish the pad and to catch the thigh
There will be no competition for medals for this. They competed in the first elimination heat and 150 meters to the finish they were in second place and had a nice pace that could lead to a promotion to the final. But then their great drama began.
Isaiah Harris got injured and began to run, limping. However, he did not want to give up and he fought heroically to finish the run for his colleagues, so that their joint efforts would not be wasted. I hit the finish line and fell on the treadmill, lapping my thigh. Unfortunately, the time of 3: 09,11 will not give the US any promotion. In these circumstances, a runner deserves great respect anyway.
USA out of the finals for the first time in 21 years
Harris’s injury means that for the first time in 21 years the Americans will not appear in the final of the 4×400 meter relay race. In 2001, they were disqualified in the qualifying rounds. The men’s competition in this race at the HM has been taking place since the third edition of the event in 1991 and the USA has never dropped out in the qualifying round because of a too weak result. In the history of competitions, they won nine gold and two silver medals in this competition.
