The Americans funnily have not medaled in the result since 2004 .
The U.S. men ’s 4x100 - meter relay squad did itagain .
The squad botched a nightstick passing play and was disqualify from the Paris Olympics final on Friday .
The Americans oddly have not medaled in the event since 2004.
2nd leg Kenny Bednarek admit off too soon and then had to slow down to receive Christian Coleman ’s handoff as they collide , dooming the Americans to another disappointment in the event .
The U.S. has n’t won a medal in the event in 20 years , and it ’s been 24 year since they bring home the bacon gold .
Canada win in 37.50 second , comply by South Africa ( 37.57 ) and Great Britain ( 37.61 ) .
Even without 100 - meter Au medalistNoah Lyles , who sit out the relay aftercontracting COVID-19 , the Americans had more than enough firepower to deliver the goods .
All they needed to do was smoothly move the billystick around the track .
That ’s been a marvellous club in recent Summer Games .
The U.S. had truncheon issueswhile finishing 6th in a preliminary heatin the 2021 Games and did n’t make the final . In 2016 they were plaguedby an illegal handoff . In 2008 they dropped the baton in the first round .
It was the kind of account the Americans certainly did n’t need to reiterate in Paris .
