Canada wins the olympic gold medal in the 4x100m relay at the 1996 Atlanta Games. Clearly the underdogs in this competition, the best Canada could have hoped for was to hand off to Bailey not too far behind the lead runner. I don't think anyone expected this.

  • You have to give Donavan Bailey credit for exorcising the ghost of Ben Johnson and restoring Canadian pride and creditability in Atlanta.

  • @djbigsmooth the finals line-up should have been: drummond, marsh, mitchell, lewis. gold and world record. marsh could have been replaced with tim montgomery as marsh had not performed well in the games. marsh still would have earned a gold medal because he ran the preliminary rounds. thank you U.S. COACHES, JACKASSES!!!!!

  • THE UNITED STATES COACHES LOST THIS RACE FROM THE START!!!!!, YOU SEE. they were so intent on denying carl lewis the opportunity to run, even though they knew his times were on par with the new world record, set by donnovan bailey, they put a nobody, tim harding, with no international experience, in on the longest leg, 2nd leg. tim montgomery ran faster splits than tim harding and they did not include him in the final.

  • Thank god for the caribbean immigrants.

  • @pdlpictures Our black guys are faster than their black guys!

  • @pdlpictures - No. I was laughing my head off, the yanks shown up in "their" event, in the US.

    How interesting that after Canadians won the 100m and 4x100m, the US started calling the 200m record holder the "world's fastest man", when the 100m holder has always been recognized as fastest. They can't handle losing.

  • My favorite Summer Olympics Moment.

  • It was awesome as soon as the 3rd runner raised his hands, knowing Donovan was gunna kill everyone.

  • t americans beaten. LOL!
