Tokyo (AP) -- The first time U.S. sprinter Ronnie Baker tried to grab the baton, he found himself holding a handful of Fred Kerley's jersey. The second time, Baker whiffed. By the third try, Kerley was side-by-side with Baker, practically using both hands to shovel the stick into his teammate's palm.
The names might change, but the results for the American Olympic 4x100-meter relay team remain every bit as brutal.
