Nobody in the world could match the East Germans in doping LOL. Anyway, the entire East German swimming and track treams are discredited in the eyes of the world for their cheating. Nothing here to glorify.
USA seemed to never send their very best athletes(women) to the W Cupin those days. Other than Evelyn Ashford who else was at the top of their game? In the previous olympics, USA won silver in 4x4 ('72, '76)
always admired the DDR women,marita koch inparticular.i always wondered if they used drugs,but id rather watch doped east germans rather than americans 7 soviets!
Enjoyed seeing this old footage which I don't think I've seen before. A pity it wasn't a closer race on the last change over - that would have been interesting! Donna Hartley ran a good leg for Europe, with a really strong finish! Thanks for posting.
Tremendous! I know the East German women have their detractors, but they have given me great pleasure in watching them over the years! Thank you for posting!
