Wariner and gang promise showtime in relay

Olympic and world champion Jeremy Wariner promises it will be showtime in the quarter-mile relay on Sunday after leading an American medal sweep in the 400 metres.

"I was happy with the way we fought, with the way we ran. And with the sweep as we did in 04 (the 2004 Olympics), it's going be a lot of fun in the 4x400," the 23-year-old Texan said after defending his 400m title on Friday.

"With the way all of us ran, whoever will be put on the relay, we're going to end up winning that. We're just looking to go out there and have fun, really."

He improved his personal record to 43.45 seconds, making him lone number-three on the world all-time list and moving him a closer to the world record of 43.18 set by Michael Johnson, now his agent, in 1999.
