@appak2 He is never forgotten by many athletes round the world. I sometimes watch that clip about his six races. It is inspirational. That was a great quartet. Arthur Wint, Leslie Laing, Herb McKenley and George Rhoden.

At last! Now I have seen even brief highlights from a truly legendary run, the 1952 Olympic 4x400. It is renowned in track history for good reason. Wint-Laing-McKenley-Rhoden. World Record. By an astounding margin. Defeat of the U.S. Gold for McKenley.. at last! Fantastic race, what we see of it anyway. And what a slick change, McKenley to Rhoden on anchor. No wonder the Jamaicans are proud. Also... another Jamaican legend, Bert Cameron in the sf of the 84 Olympic 400. McKenleyesque!

dont forget the great GC Foster of Jamaica in 1908 games in Britian who beat the British, the Americans , the russians the whole field, this ladies and gentlemen was one hundred years ago , you heard me right one hundred years ago, we have been dominant so far back.

Wint-Laing-McKenley-Rhoden. The greatest 4x400 ever, coming from "little" Jamaica !

The US was NOT beaten after 1952. They did not field a team in 1972 because John Smith was injured and the other two open 400m runners were banned for their protest on the awards stand. The US boycotted in 1980 so again, they were NOT beaten after 1952.
-
Unfortunately the info given is not true - Jamaica were not the first to beat the US in the 4x400m, nor the last:
Great Britain won in 1920 & 1936
Jamaica only did it in 1952
And since then,
Kenya won in 1972
Soviet Union won in 1980.

At the Armory in NYC the Track and Field Hall of fame, at the main entrance to the indoor track. There is picture of Arther Wint in the 800 and in the same case is the Gold Medal won by Mal Whitfield in that same 800. To see that pictures and the people checking it out. Made me feel really good. :-)
