i heard same as you at the time but turns out 'the third fastest team in history' was horse**** phrasing
only two countries have ever run faster relays, jamaica and usa. so technically we are the third fastest i guess? but both jam and usa have run better than our 47.48 loads of times with loads of different lineups. in fact usa ran 47.40 all the way back in 1992 (Michael Marsh, Leroy Burrell, Dennis Mitchell, Carl Lewis)
it was the 16th fastest time in history, still good but not what they were making it out to be
