The United States have a woeful recent record in the men's 4x100 metres relay but their quartet got the job done in Friday's heats at the World Championships despite the added pressure of running on the home track.
The crowd at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon cheered after each handover by the Americans, who since winning gold at the 2000 Sydney Games have suffered a series of disqualifications and disappointments at the World Championships and Olympics.
Elijah Hall's handoff to Marvin Bracy was far from perfect but the 100m silver medallist powered through to the line to bring the Americans home in 37.87 seconds, ahead of Britain and Ghana."This is a fun part," said Coleman, the Doha 100m champion. "If we put it together right, you know what I am saying, we can definitely come with the win."
"Tomorrow it is about the win so we will try to put some more effort, energy and try to come out with the American record," he said.
