@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)

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.

I see...
thanx for the explanation :)
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.

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.
