  • Linsey Macdonald was only 16 in this final, must be one of the youngest Olympic athletic finalists ever.

    Won Bronze in the 4x400 in these Games.

  • As far as I am concerned the Women's World Records at 100m, 200m, 400m and 800m should all be wiped from the record books. Flo Jo, Marita Koch and K ratochvilova were all riddled with drugs when they set these so called records. Why do you think nobody has got anywhere near these times since they were set. Flo Jo's set in 1988, Koch's set in 1985, Kratochvilova in 1983, you do the Maths!!

  • @ Meechio What's the point in removing a world record in order to give it to someone else who will have cheated their way to it whether they were caught or not.

    The old CCCP and GDR regimes back then would remove their promising talents from the normal education system and put them in specialist sports schools where they would do little else but train all day. They would have produced Olympic champions time after time, drugs or not.

  • marita koch just brillant!! pity she could not win the relay as well! is there video of the 4x400?

  • STATISTICS CALCULATION - from

    BR-0 com/olympics htm

  • Black women DID run the 200m, but the USA and many other countries boycotted the games due to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan

  • what black women didnt run the 400 in 1980??

  • Anyone got the video for Marita Koch, Brisco-Hooks, Cheeseborough & Kathy Cook racing a very fast 200m in 1984 where Flo Jo is a distant fourth. Love to see that race again.

  • and what about the drug cheats of the USA??? do you honestly believe that the so called FLo Jo weasn't up to her hairy armpits with steroids in 1988??? Please! She was the worst cheater of ALL time!

  • at some point they are going to have to take the records away from those eastern europen dtug taking cheats

  • Koch vs. Kratoschvilova: clash of the titans!
