Beijings US relays drop batons to fuel Jamaican sweep
At Beijing 2008, Tyson Gay and the US teams faltered on final handoffs in the 4x100 and 4x400 prelims.

LaShawn Merritt led a US 400 sweep, while Wariner faded to second as David Neville edged him at the line. Other American hopes, including Felix, Gay, Lagat, Walker, and Hoffa, failed to win gold, leaving the US 0-for in sprints.
