Superb Race by Sonia Lannaman. The European Squad did very well. See the disappointement in the GDR faces for being "only" second.
Too sad that Sonia Lannaman had had a lot of problems with injuries in her career.
Similiar to Annegret Richter who always struggled with injuries after her Olympic Gold Medal in 1976 and never reached her Montreal performance again.

@leroyrs Actually Richter ran an11.03 and had the second faster time in the world in 77, but Lannaman's finishes propelled her to be ranked 2nd in the world ... she shared only the 7th fastest time with Andrea Lynch of 11.22 for 77. Richter fastest times were 11.16 (78) 11.22 (79)

World Cup...
They compete in continental teams...
Africa, Europe, Americas, Asia and then USA and the top two finishing from the Europa Cup (Now European Team Championshhips) which that year was USSR and East Germany.
It still happens now, but they don't normally combine teams anymore, like they did here. Instead they just use a national team for the relay (it was GBR for the woman last time)

Actually, the premise of the world cup was the 3 track and field powers( were consider the East Germany, United States and the Soviet Union).. the rest of the World was divided into contentients.. eg. the Americas( excluding the USA ..) there relay team was made up form Jamacia,Cuba and Canada.

Most world class sprinters have great gluteals and hip extensors for the speed drive and power

Agreed, let's not forget what a good runner Andrea Lynch was too. She's now the sister-in-law of the manager of Kim Collins.

Andrea was a terrific athlete and I remember when she was at University in America she beat many of the top American sprinters. Andrea was a bit before her time.

This was a fantasic run by sonia lannaman who held off with room to spare the East German, shame Sonia didnt get a good start in the individual 100m she would have beaten Marles Gohr
