Question

when selecting the lineup for relays, teams start with the slowest runner and finish
with the fastest. In Beijing 2008, Jamaica were the hot favorites to win the 4 X 100 since the
UK and USA were disqualified in the semis. Moreover, Usain Bolt came into the lineup. This
left the Jamaicans to make a key decision: Which position should they run Bolt? Look at the
splits both Bolt and Asafa Powell had and mention which position each runner should have
come in in race time.
