It should be noted that England are later DQ'd form this race. On the 3rd change Tasmin Lewis encouraged Tasha Danvers to move in front of her in the line the receive the baton. By moving up the line she broke the rules which led to DQ
Rules are rules. However, on the third exchange they were lined up Jamaica, England and Australia, the order in which the girls were approaching the exchange. It seems like a harsh DQ and the Aussie girls would most likely have been happy with silver after such a good team effort.
Seem to remember the race which saw the then gold and silver medalists from the World Athletics Championships a year after this. India took the bronze medal in this race, an indication of what was to come four years later by hosting it.
Melbourne should be hosting the WC in athletics. I mean look at this fully packed stadium. Its so beautiful to see.
Wow India won Bronze🤩🤘.. Thank you for uploading ❤

Indeed, but a result that leaves a bad taste in the mouth as England were clearly the better team and there was no intention to take an advantage.
@@tommytempo1 Exactly, we were there. The rumour was Tamsin did it on purpose but Tash didn't have to take up the offer !!

Like the da hell drops a baton in a mile relay?
That girl collecting the Baton for Jamaica was a complete inexperience wreck.... you collect the baton first before you run off
Sigh RIP Jamaica 🇯🇲… slight baton change
