SAINT-DENIS, France — The absence of Noah Lyles isn’t what derailed the U.S.’s bid to win gold in the men’s 4×100-meter relay.
It’s the Americans’ maddening inability to find four men who can pass the baton to one another while running as fast as they can.
Christian Coleman, Kenny Bednarek, Kyree King and Fred Kerley finished in seventh place on Friday night, extending the U.S.’s 20-year medal drought in the mens’ 4×100 relay. Canada won gold, nearly four tenths of a second ahead of the Americans. South Africa took silver, while Great Britain took bronze.
