Marita Koch wins the 400m at the World Cup held in Canberra with an outstanding performance, beating the world record of Jarmila Kratochvilová (47.99) to 47.60, which remains until now. These two women are the only members of the sub-48 club.

  • Really wish they had a video up of Kratochivilova's 800m record

  • ur one fucked up freak.Drugs dont dissapear they last a long time to help the athlete get to the position they are to. E.g dwain chambers caught taking drugs came back to run the 2nd fastest 60m indoor ever. Of course these woman were and had been on drugs. Thats the reason no-one has ever gotten near their records and they look like men. I mean half od them admitted it. Ever wonder why mens records have all went down but womans records from the 1980's cant even be touched?

  • She was drugged up the a**...

  • @HotChixAndMusic lol. WHAT? Silke Moeller's run on a relay is touted as one of the best runs? Please.From Flo Jo to Ashford to Ottey to Marie Jose Perec have run far more impressively.

  • Forget Usain Bolt's 100m WR, the first 350m of this race is the most amazing run EVER by a pair of human legs. Only Silke Moller's 1st leg of the 4x100 relay WR comes close to it.

    Marita Koch = greatest female athlete of all time.

  • Can someone say vitamin S

  • @MrRazorblade999

    Right, from 1980 to 1988, which was the last year of serious steroids (after that they were very likely to be detected and were abandoned). Female athletes did not beat a single record for many years after 1988, except in pole vault and triple jump, which were brand new disciplines for females.

  • Now what the fuck...is this forreal? This woman sprinted the entire 400m like that? Get outta here: drugs.

  • They should erase all the world records from the 80's.

  • @jonesy77777 She took the Ben Johnson regimen for bulking up. Thank goodness she didn't take stanozolol. Flojo was never busted for taking PEDS, nor did her autopsy reveal that she did. So as far as I'm concerned, she was clean. In America, we stand by the principle "innocent until proven guilty." However, I stand by my belief that womens' 100m record ought to be 10.61.
