Mary Decker Slaney was one of the best runners of her era no doubt… but that fall in the ‘84 Olympics was 98% her own fault. Not happy about that… but that is the fact
I was in LA for that race and I still feel so sorry for Zola. She still is a little farm girl from small town anywhere. The crowd were so callous to her. She is an Afrikaans which marks you in peoples heads . You "must" be a racist.....racist by default. .

I have no idea how Decker injured her back and hip, by falling on her hands!! If anything she refused to give way like all runners do when someone cuts in, I believe Decker actually tried to trip Budd, and it backfired on herself boo hoo!
Winners get up if they stumble, losers stay down and nurse their bitter wounds. Decker made no attempt to get up, she obviously felt she was so important they would stop the race for her. I respect Zola because she finished what she started.
Zola was never winning. Even if she led the rest of the way Puica and Decker would have both easily outkicked her in the last last lap. She had no finishing kick at all. If she were really lucky she might have beaten Sly out for the bronze without the incident and I doubt that even.

She was never the same after that 1983 was her Olympics games a year too early she had some much pressure to win she had beaten everyone in that field a year ago before 1984.
To start with Zola is not British but a South African Citizens which SA was band from the Olympics so the Brits took her in. Second , she should have never been in the games to start with being from SA.

She is a front-runner. That's her style. She's really mad at herself for not setting a faster pace. She let that slow putz Zola get in front of her. Bad racing tactics.
Dexter Haven ..It’s a shame, because Decker would probably have won the race. I’m sure she knew she could just sit in behind Budd & pick her off at anytime...& then this happened.
@@WolfeTone66 Yes, it shows how fragile life events are and how God leaves things to chance. I thought it was very revealing when they asked Charles Manson what life lesson he had to share once. He said to be alert to the fact that your life can change in an instant. He's seen people come to ruin when they least expected it. Good point by Charlie. Christopher Reeves comes to mind as an example. He knew horse jumping was dangerous for a man of his size.
@@WolfeTone66 Yes Puica and Decker were both not worried at all about Budd unless she had a huge breakaway. Sitting in behind her they knew they kick past her on the last lap super easily.
She was in the lead, controlling the race. Then she lost the lead and lost control of the race. If she went just a little bit faster, like she did the year before, Budd would not have passed her and would have been burnt off going round that turn.

If you enjoyed this video....I think you will find more to your liking at www.imasportsphile.com
I have heard various views about that famous race and accident in the 1984 Olympics and I was watching it live at the time. On one angle, sort of a long view down the track and not high but roughly at the runner's own height (and therefore taken no doubt by someone with a handheld on track level), it does appear that Zola placed one of her legs out in an attempt to trip Mary Decker - and on purpose. The first time I saw that replay I thought it highly probable, if indeed not morally certain, that Ms. Budd was the cause of the accident. I have had other people interpret the matter differently to me though. I believe Ms. Decker would have won this race if it was somehow allowed to finish... Yet prior to the race, there was a big build-up with Ms. Budd seen as the bright young star set on defeating the champion Ms. Decker, quite like McEnroe and Borg in tennis.

Mary didn’t finish the race but she certainly deserved an Oscar for her performance
It's good to see Americans writing and not being fooled by Hairy Mary....
Was that her doctor? Sounded more like her PR agent. "Mary tried to save the world, hers was an act of kindness" What BS!
Also, the officials found DECKER totally at fault for the collision.
Zola was spiked like crazy from decker, yes when a runner is cutting in too close (Zola) it suks, but you need to chop your stride (mary) and you kind of stutter step to allow ZB in front of you. Believe me Decker had done that move thousands of times, all runners have..
As she fell she tried real hard to bring Zola down, as she is laying on the turf she doesn't let go of Zolas number
From her clenched fist

Decker was 26 then?
Not the brightest light on a tree never heard of the one 🤣🤣🤣
You do not know her and say she is not bright?
I have no idea how Decker injured her back and hip, by falling on her hands!! If anything she refused to give way like all runners do when someone cuts in, I believe Decker actually tried to trip Budd, and it backfired on herself boo hoo!
Exatly yes. Zola was not being cause of Mary falling. This video give us a prove and really true prove. Tx
It most likely happened when her knee hit the ground and it sent a Shockwave effect that went to her back and hip!
Winners get up if they stumble, losers stay down and nurse their bitter wounds. Decker made no attempt to get up, she obviously felt she was so important they would stop the race for her. I respect Zola because she finished what she started.
Look... in a rather short race like that... if you fall down, you're done..
It was a dream, Mary the actress than runner 👆
She was getting her ass kicked, tried to trip the "nobody" that was beating her and suffered her own consequences.....
DerBerglord ..You obviously haven’t got a clue..🙄
Zola was never winning. Even if she led the rest of the way Puica and Decker would have both easily outkicked her in the last last lap. She had no finishing kick at all. If she were really lucky she might have beaten Sly out for the bronze without the incident and I doubt that even.
@@tylerbam7183 Only way she wins is if she would have moved to the front and tried to hold off the rest which I don't think she would do.
