Womens 4*400m relay Seoul 1988

It took a "world record" for the Soviets to win, lol Charlie Jones you suck. Still, I was rooting for USA..

Gee Brisco ran a fantastic leg.

What is Charlie Jones talking about... Fanny Blankers-koen won 4 golds in track and field in London in 1948 !

Flojo was so beautiful

Bryzgina was a brilliant 400M runner and no doubt was running for her life in this race... Flo-Jo had to produce something spectacular to beat her. I would have put Brisco-Hooks on the anchor leg as she was a 400M specialist so had a better chance of bringing the gold medal home. Great race!

what more were you expecting out of Valerie? She singlehandedly gave Flo-Jo a chance against Bryzgina on that final leg. She made up nearly a 25 meter gap. What could she have done more of?

Flo Jo ran well but she was never going to beat the great Olga Bryzgina. Bryzgina was a POWERHOUSE at 400 metres only Koch & Perec have ever beaten her so that says a lot. .Flo Jo did amazingly well to hang on to her though. 48.1 for Flo Jo Wow! That's same time Alison Felix ran. Alison Felix could be the next Marita Koch and she's still so young.

Not true, bryzgina lost several times against other athletes actualy.. In the 80's and in the 90's. She wasn't unbeatable during her whole career. But she clearly was here!!!

Yeah it is pretty amazing. Imagine if she had ever chosen to really train the 400 metres!
