In response to "amazing to me: 4 guys in a relay race are faster than 4 individual 100m times" by zeitgeist

If it is any consolation, your thinking works as soon as leg distance is anything above 100m

With the start being a smaller fraction of the race, the best relay times end up slower than taking the best individual times and multiplying by 4, starting with the 4x200m
