EUGENE, Ore. -- For the U.S. women's relay team, this was a shock.
For the men -- more of the same.
The women pulled a stunner over Jamaica in the 4x100 relay at world championships Saturday, while the favored men finished second after a sloppy baton exchange in what has been a ritual since before anyone on this team was born.
Andre DeGrasse beat Marvin Bracy to the line by .07 seconds to lift Canada to the victory in the men's race in 37.48 seconds.
Bracy fell behind in the anchor leg after twice reaching back and whiffing on the exchange from Elijah Hall, who went tumbling to the ground after he finally got the stick into his teammate's hand.
