Let's take a look back at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China, where the USA set a new Olympic record in Men's 4×400 metres relay, winning ahead of the teams of Bahamas and Great Britain. With a time of 2:55.39 in the final, Team USA with LaShawn Merritt, Angelo Taylor, David Neville, and Jeremy Wariner beat their own Olympic record from the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona.

They have an extremely talented group of middle-distance runners (3:29 1500m NR by Stewy McSweyn and 3:48 mile NR also by McSweyn), distance runners (Mottram's 12:55 5000), the high jump in Brandon Starc with a 2.36m NR, Watt was a long jumper over 8.50, Clark once ran a 44.3, Patrick Johnson with a 9.93 100m, don't talk about stuff you know absolutely *nothing* about.

If you notice all the Americans put their greatest distance on the last straight. That's because they run relays in the states at every level and they know how to manage their efficiency. Notice how the other countries try and make up ground too quickly then fade at the end.
