Australia
Why is Australia included in the table, coloured in, with no rank? the page has no explanation. Tim (Xevious) (talk) 10:38, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

100 metre vs 100 metres relay
The IAAF website lists the event as the 100 "metres" relay. see here in the events timetable. I think this should be moved to Athletics at the 2008 Summer Olympics - Men's 4x100 metres relay. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 15:03, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

DNF/DQ
To my non-specialist eyes, it looks surprising that 6 of the 16 teams in round 1 were either disqualified or did not finish. Is this unusual, and if so is there a reason? --Delirium (talk) 21:43, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
