It's a USA men's 4x100 Olympic relay team - it's news when it DOESN'T botch a baton pass at some point.

I wonder how many times that particular relay team ran practice races before then. It would not surprise me one bit to hear the answer "none."

Quotes from the article Marty posted:

Asked how much practice they had for the event as a group before the race, Fred Kerley, the second leg, said, “Don’t know,” and Ronnie Baker, the third leg, added, “Not much.”
