Track And Field Legend Carl Lewis Rips U.S. Team For Performance In Men’s 4×100 Relay

For the fourth straight Olympics, the U.S. men’s team will fail to medal in the 4×100 meter relay, after placing six in qualifying on Thursday. Carl Lewis — a 10-time Olympic medalist — can no longer stay silent.

“The USA team did everything wrong in the men’s relay,” Lewis said on Twitter. “The passing system is wrong, athletes running the wrong legs, and it was clear that there was no leadership. It was a total embarrassment, and completely unacceptable for a USA team to look worse than the AAU kids I saw.”
