I think the problem is not so much we aren't producing the sprinters, but that others are getting better whilst we are standing still - notably Jamaca, who didn't even qualify for the final in 2004, but broke the world record in both 2008 and 2012.
But in 2008 Team GB were still the 3rd fastest team after USA and Jamaca in the Olympic qualification rankings. And in 2012 still went into the games as 4th ranked squad behind France (I think). Unfortunately, there was a minor issue with the baton on both occasions.... |
