4x100m relay 1988 Olympics

[14physician]

that white guy could run!

[bdalondon]

For the people who are blind or ignored the comment from @LiamP77 - that IS NOT Linford Christie on the anchor leg. It's Clarence Callender.

[flaxonx3]

Strange how shit the time was, Christie looked like he was audtioning for a new career as a carthorse.

[jordify1]

@flaxonx3 That wasn't Linford Christie on the last leg. It was Clarence Callender.

[flaxonx3]

@jordify1 Thanks for that info., the clip wasn't the best quality. I think Bev Callender might have been a better bet on the anchor leg judging by that showing though.

[metyshy]

power rangers ? wtf

[use2slam2]

and 20 yrs before this in 1964 bob hayes ran(even til today) the fastest anchor leg in history-8.6 seconds for those last 100m,and what makes it incredible is he ran that on a loose cinder(DIRT)track dirt for pete's sake !!! it's a shame the 100 finals was on that same dirt track hayes ran 10.05 and won by over 2 meters he wasn't even pushed, if he would have run on these modern rubberized surfaces back then he would have been clicking off 9.8's or better 47 yrs ago,crazy !!!

[jabu285]

@use2slam2 serious, dude? damn hayes was quick, hey.

[englishman1960]

In 1988 Christie hadn't started using drugs,which explains why he was so slow.

[rudeboysw9]

@englishman1960 bull shit he was third in that 100M........so slow.....he's only started to take his training seriously a couple years before. When his coach realised that they were so close to Lewis they realised that with a few tweaks they could beat him.........hence in 1992 he was more focused and ready than ever. know your stuff before you believe to tabloid bullshit!!

[RexBanner1980]

WHAT?!?!? I'm too young to remember this but how the hell was Christie outrun by that white dude? Frankly he should be ashamed!

[ranhill]

Christie probably missed his injection that month.

[rich187113]

i know and christie had a lead too, about 2 feet lead.

[bzach71]

@RexBanner1980 lol..that white dude is Vitaly Savine

[rich187113]

I can't make out ben johsnon.

[ranhill]

Ben Johnson is the one running with the syringe in his arm. Claims it was a baton.

[rich187113]

lol...

[Tbe2007]

OMG... ANOTHER DISASTER!!!

The USA women´s 4 x 100m have also lost the baton at the final exchange. The same thing happened the USA men´s quartet.

BEIJING ´08 HAS BEEN A DISASTER FOR THE USA AS FAR AS TRACK AND FIELD IS CONCERN.

[JUanBOBO]

its a curse

[phaethon1988]

I tink her split was either a 9.5 or a 9.6

[nazark]

At the Seoul Olympics, Vitaly Savin reached to the quarterfinal of 100 m and ran the anchoring leg in the Soviet 4x100 m relay team, which won the gold medal in absence of United States. Struggle win the strongest!!! The USA have appeared the weak, not organized command, it is the fact.

Soviet Union (URS)

Viktor Bryzgin

Vladimir Krylov

Vladimir Muravyov

Vitaly Savin - It my friend.

[Momomasina]

Kovács Attila is teh best!

[LiamP77]

The British sprinter was Clarence Callender (pb 10.30) who was deputising for Linford Christie in this heat. The white guy was a Hungarian, maybe Atila Kovacs? (4th in 87 WC 100m pb 10.09)

[Aarontlondon]

who's the white guy running past Linford Christie?

[lacheyrulez]

do u have the womens where it shows flo jo running an 8.5.

[aquerius23]

No!!!She didnt!!..Flo Jo ran 8.5sec??

[Rettamann]

This is the heat where the usa fucked up the change. That wasn't Linford on the anchor either. He was rested for the heats and brought in 4 the final.

[jebjoncula]

That was a heat Kenzies. That wasn't Christie on the anchor. He was rested.

[themckenzies]

shame christie didint put the effort in that he put in the individul race.but that would have meant sharing the success wouldint it?

[cucumb]

he is not egoistic to my knowledge

[aquerius23]

Thank you, glad you sense the vile shit in that idiots"themckenzies" comment! Typical English cunts, always trying to sneak in an insult!

[cucumb]

Linford a super fast granpa lol

[Rettamann]

I think with a name like themckenzies you'll find he is scottish. Oh, and here's an insult this Englishman is sneaking in. You're a cunt.

[aquerius23]

Whats the danm difference? Scottish or English! If you can at all explain

[fitzieo1]

The difference is the the same as U.S.A and Canada.They are both different countries but share the same political make up since 1707. When they are combined they are known as Great Britain.

[aquerius23]

You mean they share the same history in subjugating and totaly anihilating Linford Christie,s kind, even well before 1707? But you explained my "hint" exactly... A good departure point in finaly investigating the PSYCHOTIC herd-menatlity amongst Caucasoids...........

[conali]

this is what is typically known as a wanka

[themckenzies]

dont strain yourself christie will you.

[markamahabir]

Who was the American that was out of the passing zone when he received the baton?

[jrussell04]

Lee McNeil ran out of the passing zone on the anchor leg. Carl Lewis was only going to run the finals!

[deeohlaa]

does anyone have a better version of this video? if u do please post it.

[zim83]

I wastched this live at the time, thanks for sharing it. I just don't want to imagine what the Soviets took to win that one (although, quite frankly, everyonw was on drugs at the time).
