Things did not go well for the US men's 4x100m relay team at the Paris Olympics and one of the best the sport has ever seen was more than happy to rip into not just its performance, but USA Track & Field in its entirety.
Andre de Grasse anchored Canada to victory in the Olympic men's 4x100m relay in Paris on Friday.

Defending champions Italy, featuring 2021 100m champion Marcell Jacobs on the second leg, finished fourth in 37.68sec.

Lyles later posted on Instagram: "I believe this will be the end of my 2024 Olympics." McLaughlin-Levrone left Dutch rival Femke Bol in her wake and in bronze medal position as the American improved her own world record to 50.37sec and retained her title from Tokyo.
