I'M 60 FULL YEARS OLD NOW AND THIS WAS A WORLD WHERE THERE WAS A SOVIET UNION,A EAST AND WEST GERMANY.IT'S AUGUST 10TH,2024 AS I TYPE.THINGS HAVE CHANGED SO MUCH SINCE THE 1988 OLYMPICS IN OUR WORLD.
Yes, the world has changed a lot. But one thing that has remained the same 36 years later is the existence of athletes who have the idea of using medicine to run faster.
I was stationed in Germany during the 1988 Olympic. Games would come on 2:00 AM. Watched most of it before 6:00 AM formation. Remember my First Sergeant postpone formation one morning to allowed the company to watch Flo Jo run.
So hard to watch these old Flo Jo videos. I was 19 years old and she just captivated me and got me so hooked on track and field events. Her events... Her death still breaks my heart!!
Great job ! I met Bryzgina several times..as a little girl, she had great dreams...fastest in school, then at 12yo ,then when 14 ,she had no choice but entering the System...lot of health problems now ...❤
Flo Jo was obviously on drugs,I watched her 100 meters in 1988,she took nearly half a second off the record,they still haven't got that close to it,now I wonder why she died of a heart attack in her early fifties?
@@rayoconnor4413 During the 1988 Seoul Olympics Florence Griffith Joyner passed every drug test she was given, thus she was definitely not juiced during that race against the Soviets including Olga Bryzgina who finished ahead of her. But I have no doubt that all of those Soviet women were juiced during that era of heavy doping by the Soviets. Their doctors were just extremely skilled at using substances that the testing equipment wasn't even developed to test for. Look at the list of world records that the all-white Soviet teams set in the 1980s that have still not been broken, such as this 1. After the World Anti-Doping Agency developed more & more sophisticated detection techniques the dominance of Soviet & East German women quickly ended.
...Like Ben Johnson, Griffiths-Joyner was an obvious drugs cheat...the only difference between the two, He got caught, she didn't...Both the Eastern Europeans and Americans throughout the 80's , were on the 'GEAR'.. The race for 'dominance', between the US and former USSR, was definitely NOT limited too, the nuclear weapons arms race ;) ....
I will never say a negative word about FloJo. Not a 400 runner, yet put it all on the line for her country. Did we ever get to see Bolt, Maurice Greene, Carl Lewis, Justin Gatlin run the 4x400? You gotta love when someone goes out of their comfort zone for their country. RIP FloJo.
@3:42 Flo Jo ran 48.1 sec in her leg. Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone just ran 47.7 sec in her leg (1-2 sec faster than any of her teammates) at Paris 2024 Olympic relay and set a new American Record (3 min 15.27 sec).
Il y a de grandes chances que Sydney Mclaughlin soit dopée. Tout comme Florence Griffith devait l'être. Toutes les deux ressemblent à Marion Jones, dans leur facilité à courir, en arrivant sans être essoufflées et avec un grand sourire... La bonne blague. Marion Jones a été attrapé pour dopage. Florence Griffith n'a jamais pu être attrapée car elle a été intelligente de s'arrêter juste après avoir tout gagné. Sydney Mclaughlin tombera sans doute un jour pour dopage. Reste à savoir quand.
I was 11 and remember watching this. I had planned on running track for school bc both my parents did but watching Flo Jo run made me want to run even more

I admire Florence Griffith Joyner who gave me dream in Seoul Olympic games. I was watching at the stadium as a child. She was so beautiful, lovely and excellent runner that I have never seen before. Rest in peace my heroine Florence Griffth Joyner.
Great race. Great victory. I have never seen any USA team to be so satisfied and happy with just being second and all of the sudden American record is getting more significant than WR or OR. Very rare indeed
I'm actually impressed with Flo Jo to have a 48.1 split considering she never practiced for the 400m. No way she was going to run her down. Too big of a lead. That 3rd U.S. anchor did make up alot of ground
@@matt7iron Weakest looking dude I've ever seen. Let's be honest Mr Blackman your apparently "drug-free" girls had their arses handed to them and were well and truly whooped! Hahahaha
'Everyone was so proud' to be defeated by great soviet girls? Yes, you can be proud of it, because to lose with dignity, also breaking the previous world record on Olimpic, is a great achievement!
2:47 you can tell Flos instinct was to sprint lol. To be competing simultaneously in the 100m, 200m and 400m takes a special versatility only a truly gifted and dedicated athlete could possess. I can’t imagine Bolt holding on for a silver in 400m
Well, she was a 4th tier athlete until the last 2 years between 1987-1988.She was always seeking attention. Getting smoked by Ashford and the rest. Everyone who knows track knows she was a cheater. Nothing classy about her. Quit right after the Olympics when they were about to test her. A few years later...she died.
This race was definitely drugged 😭😭😭 36 years later and it still hasn’t been broken yet. Just .1 seconds more and eventually this record can finally be erased
ahahahhahahahha! you are right, a farce from the beginning. They called the race as if the Americans were going to win 2 or 3 times...probably they were on a trip!
There is no doubt in my mind that the Soviet women in 1988 were being heavily doped by Soviet doctors instructed to do so by the regime. Are you aware that the same year as this "world record" a Soviet woman smashed the world record in the long jump, setting a new record of 7.52 meters? 6 years later USA's Jackie Joyner Kersee jumped 7.49 meters, still the 2nd longest jump in history. Only after the World Anti-Doping Agency developed more & more sophisticated detection techniques did the dominance of the all-white Soviet Union & East German women wane.
@@mountainman066 I forgot to mention that in 1985 East German 400 meter runner Marita Koch smashed the world record during the era of heavy doping in the Communist Bloc nations. That's another record that still stands 39 years later despite so many fast black women in the U.S., Jamaica & other Caribbean nations.
how impressive is that this world record still stands tall and that on this year in the Paris Olympics after a amazing race by USA still the record was not beaten by 0.10 of a second . Considering all of the knowledge gather all of this years and the way how physical training has improved I think this world record is just simply amazing and contrary with the evolution in each sport.
@@kaikenjr Hi Kelvin, Right. It's really weird when a National team coaches state that they cannot include a 4x400m team due to a 'weakness' at that event when they have strong 200 and 800m athletes, who could and should 'step up' or 'step down', to represent their Country. The current UK men's 400m situation, is a case in point.
@@champ4sho1 Her so-called 'records' are the result of roids. That's not an opinion. The former US 400m champion Darrel Robinson, knows that as a fact.
Not a big surprise when you consider many athletes back then were doping. In the 90's they got wise and used EPO which couldn't be traced. The current men's 1500 metre world record was set using that drug. Nothing else can explain the improvements made by Guerrouj. Initially he was absolutely destroyed by Morcelli and within 3 years he'd taken 9 seconds off his 1995 World Championship runner up time.
@@KryptonitetoallBS But when you compare this athletic event and other sports, swimming for example, the time dropped drasticly. The time to win 1988 olympics is not even fast enought to qualify fo 2020 Olympics. Wasn't swimmers in 1988 olympics using dopping? So event with the dopping, the performance of this event in 1988 olympics is still incredible
@@MuhammadTaufik-lw3xv Since then the training, diet and even the track construction have improved. So naturally the times will as well. hence why the FloJo controversey is still ongoing - her records can't be broken. This coupled with her drastic masculinization and early death are all red flags. God knows what they put her on.
Допинга не хватило на 400 метров умерла рано вот вам и все ее рекорды у Бена Джонсона нашли у нее нет кто спонсировал антидопинговый комитет США мне ее жаль из нее сделали подопытного кролика

Но они очень умело воспользовались перебежчиком - острие скандала пронзило российскую легкую атлетику, а а сами они остались как бы не при чем.
I watch this now once a week. Man Olga Nazarova and Bryzgina were awesome. The announcers were just so biased, praising the Americans while the Russians were blowing out the record.
I remember this like it was yesterday. I also remember 10 years later, the devastating news.... Florence Griffith Joyner died after suffering an epileptic seizure in her sleep. She was age 38.
@@eddy19610 Flo-Jo never ... read that again, NEVER ... failed a drug test in her entire athletic career. And an autopsy after her tragic death revealed ZERO drugs in her system. Those are facts. You have none.
@@kvernon1 That doesn't mean shit all. The East German swimmers and track athletes didn't fail a single drug test the entire 70s and 80s. What does that tell you. Or are you going to argue they were all clean too, please do as I need a laugh.
The split recorded by Olga Nazarova on the 2nd leg is still to this day one of the fastest women's relay splits of all time. She made Diane Dixon look slow(which she certainly wasn't).
@@brothaanthony3646 The top 3 teams atleast, heck most of the teams in this final were full of drugs, so it balanced out. GDR, USA which remember had well known enormous dopers like Flo Jo and Brisco Hooks , and Soviet Union were all so pumped full of roids it was basically a mens race.
You don't set personal bests in a bloody relay..It was a rolling start..Flo had every chance to gun down Olga from behind but couldn't do it.. Olga most certainly took the sting out of Florence up the back straight and around the bend...No way she was going to run down the 400m Olympic champion..Watch the 4x400m World Cup 1985 and see Koch do it to the same Russian..
The great Flojo's stride and body language looked like a pork chop at a Jewish wedding dinner = Odd. What an epic race with the 100 and 200 meter gold medalist(Flojo) vs the 400 meter gold medalist(Bryzgina). Speed vs speed and stamina. Now one of my favorite races ever. So beautiful !!!
Where's the proof of that the first three teams were doping? The record still stands 36 years later by the Soviets, USA, and GDR. If there was evidence of doping, then these records would be rescinded and be taken away.
@@michealkelliher8428 It's already an undisputed fact that the East Germans (GDR) were doping. The East Germans kept meticulous records of the drugs that were being administered to each athlete (e.g. drug type, dosage size, dosage frequency, etc.). After the Berlin wall fell, these records were made public for all to see. The size and scope of the East German doping program was absolutely breathtaking. The Soviets were recognized as having a similar state-run program.
@feponcio Actually we knew that already, wasn't proven at the time and couldn't be proven is puzzling. The fact is though, while the Americans and other countries in the west were doping privately, they couldn't face the fact they throughout all of the 1980’s, they were beaten on the medals tables in both summer and winter olympic games by the GDR, except for their own little olmpics in LA'84. the Tour de France being a case in point back then, with doping, it eas everywhere, still going on, but not as prominent. As for the Soviets there was not a state doping programme, that's just bollcks by you throwing out that shit. I'm Irish, and I even know that.
USA third leg Valerie Brisco did amazing job.. Mrs. Florence as well but I would have loved to see her not ease up and use her "ATP" the first few meters.. But USSR were dominate esp the last leg.. Great Race
It’s a blessing to be able to see and witness Flo Jo Greatness 30years Plus. She was Black Excellent💫💫✨✨👑 and My role model now and I’m in my 40’s. I was too young to back in day to understand the humbleness and Greatness..
It is hard to accept that our best wasn't good enough for gold that day. Every leg our ladies ran was 49 seconds or better, but the Soviets knew anything less than their strongest effort wouldn't get it done.
Uh, no. The Soviets knew that they had better take even more steroids than our team.....which records indicate they did. There is nothing to admire about a bunch of cheating athletes conspiring to out cheat each other.
@@rossogden9920 So true ..... They are still running 2 seconds behind this more than 30 yrs later .... Their women and Our American women are ALL roiding their brains out .....
@@rossogden9920LOL Flo Jo and Valerie Brisco Hooks are 2 of the biggest drug cheats in history. Almost guarantee you they were pumped full of more horse pills than even the likely doping Soviets and East Germans all combined. They even killed Flo Jo super young.
One of the greatest races ever. Both the USA and USSR broke the world record. Both Brygina and Flo Jo ran about 48.1, tremendous times. Nazarova was out of this world. The commentator actually said she might be running "too fast." I think she might have come in at under 48 seconds.
And just think 48.1 400m split that was her 10th race of the games think about that she ran for 100m all of them under 11 seconds she broke the 200 meter record two times and still split 48.1
@@trippytrellis7033 question tell me to accomplishments you had tell me when you ever ran in the Olympics since you were in The Laughing business that was Flo-Jo 10th race of those games she split 48 what's your fastest split... cornball ass Islander
How was the dope testing in 1988? Didn't your patriots participate in a masked doping program for years? How have they done since WADA figured out how to detect performance enhancing drugs? Not so good.
Haha sounds about right. Considering Bryzgina looks like a man with a wig, she should have known instantly she was juiced up as well. A doper should be able to spot another doper better.
I was on this Olympic team... and it was never proven , after constant testing that Flo was as you said "steroidal"... Fact was she was Beautiful and God Gifted.
@@nuwandalton Believe what you want to believe. I myself was already triple jumping 53+ ft in highschool... I wasn't taking anything... God's Gifts. Any athlete can have a Freakishly good day at any time. I'm just saying " she was that Damnnn good"....!! Let her RIP'
Everyone knew she was on something, she could never beat Ashford, always lost to her. Then 1988 comes and she is blowing her away. Her 100m time improved from a P.B. of 10.96 set in 1987, to 4 or 5 tenths of a second faster in less than a year. She was on HGH, before they had a test to detect it.
I love flojo. The fact that she left this world so soon,jus shows that God blessed us wit her presence then took her. Becuz humans were very ungrateful for such a treasure. No other female sprinter gives me goosebumps like flojo. Usain Bolt is also a natural treasure. Bless her soul.❤️❤️
@Joe Jordan Not really sure where you were going with that. It seemed that Griffith-Joyner retired from the Olympics and athletics to have a child. She waited until 1990 to have her daughter. I would assume that she wanted to make sure the performance enhancers were out of her system before she wanted to conceive. Doping in athletics still happens. Except, they use masking agents to prevent the detections. And if there were teams that could win at 3 minutes 15 seconds in the women's 4x400 relay, I would be asking questions of them about potential cheating.
man, Flojo was DOPE in her prime. I must be on DRUGS for ever doubting it. The way she INJECTED herself into this race is amazing. She's running at the speed of an aSTEROID impact.
I doubt most of the women on the Usa,Soviet and East German track teams were clean back then. Not a coincident that so many track records from this era hold up despite improvements in conditioning,training and shoe technology.
Bravo Rusija!!!!!!!!!Well done Russia! I miss you at the 2024 Olympics, it's not the Olympics anymore without you. Especially gymnastics, rhythmics, artistic swimming....see you at the new free games that you will create with the rest of the free world.

@@KmacFIRE I think you're referring to flo jo .. slightly but bryzgina held steady to win which is all that counts .. dixon never caught up to nazarova
@@cushitepeople9165 so were some Americans. Its unfair to point out to a certain part of the world when everybody is doing it......question is...how many get caught and how many sneak through undetected.
At least the game was fair back in 1988, everybody was on drugs. They had to ban Ben Johnson though, the guy went too far, he was so pump up that even Pablo Escobar was worried for his health.
Very Interesting match up. That was a tall order for Flo Jo, taking on 400m champion from behind. Flo Jo ran a very calculated race. She could have easily blown past the Russian in the first 200m. She was actually closing on a bit at the end.
Max101 Well, Olha Vladykina wasn't a 200m runner. As good as Flo Jo was, she wouldn't win a 400m race against any of these women. Much less Marita Koch or Jarmila Kratochvilova.
@@onlyadro5692 Injured and almost a world record in the leg of the 4x 400m and you will say she was clean. She rarely ran 400m in international competitions yet raced a specialist who also won the Gold medal and was very competitive injured. Have heard of parochialism before but this is ridiculous. Only way she could be competitive fully fit is with "gear". To do so injured must have some really good "gear".
FloJo is the best athlete of all times. Some of her World records have never been broken. Her soul will always be a part of the games--wherever they are held. She showed an amazing effort in this race. Probably her best showing was in 1996 when she jumped despite a huge injury.
Nope, because if all the black girls were juiced they'd have won. Fast forward to today where we have better monitoring, white women are a rarity in the 400m.
I'M 60 FULL YEARS OLD NOW AND THIS WAS A WORLD WHERE THERE WAS A SOVIET UNION,A EAST AND WEST GERMANY.IT'S AUGUST 10TH,2024 AS I TYPE.THINGS HAVE CHANGED SO MUCH SINCE THE 1988 OLYMPICS IN OUR WORLD.

"The record couldn't be broken in today's race in Paris. What kind of supernatural force was at work in this race?"
There is no doubt in my mind that the Soviet women in 1988 were being heavily doped by Soviet doctors instructed to do so by the regime. Are you aware that the same year as this "world record" a Soviet woman smashed the world record in the long jump, setting a new record of 7.52 meters? 6 years later USA's Jackie Joyner Kersee jumped 7.49 meters, still the 2nd longest jump in history. Only after the World Anti-Doping Agency developed more & more sophisticated detection techniques did the dominance of the all-white Soviet Union & East German women wane.
The finals in Paris brought me here!!
@@LoneTinajaYou say “all-white” like that is evidence that the USSR cheated 🙄
@@mountainman066 I forgot to mention that in 1985 East German 400 meter runner Marita Koch smashed the world record during the era of heavy doping in the Communist Bloc nations.

Hi Kelvin,
Right.
It's really weird when a National team coaches state that they cannot include a 4x400m team due to a 'weakness' at that event when they have strong 200 and 800m athletes, who could and should 'step up' or 'step down', to represent their Country.
The current UK men's 400m situation, is a case in point.

Most interesting race of all time!
Exactly
In fact, 33 years later, its still a world record today. And US performance is still second fastest 4 x 400 all of time. Incredible!!
Not a big surprise when you consider many athletes back then were doping. In the 90's they got wise and used EPO which couldn't be traced. The current men's 1500 metre world record was set using that drug. Nothing else can explain the improvements made by Guerrouj. Initially he was absolutely destroyed by Morcelli and within 3 years he'd taken 9 seconds off his 1995 World Championship runner up time.
@@KryptonitetoallBS But when you compare this athletic event and other sports, swimming for example, the time dropped drasticly. The time to win 1988 olympics is not even fast enought to qualify fo 2020 Olympics. Wasn't swimmers in 1988 olympics using dopping? So event with the dopping, the performance of this event in 1988 olympics is still incredible
It's been over 30 yrs and these records still haven't been broken so Something is pretty suspicious and Russia has been ban from competition
@@MuhammadTaufik-lw3xv
Since then the training, diet and even the track construction have improved. So naturally the times will as well.
hence why the FloJo controversey is still ongoing - her records can't be broken. This coupled with her drastic masculinization and early death are all red flags. God knows what they put her on.
It's still a world record because sprinters can't get away with taking as ,many steroids as these two teams did.

No doubt about it.

Where's the proof of that the first three teams were doping? The record still stands 36 years later by the Soviets, USA, and GDR. If there was evidence of doping, then these records would be rescinded and be taken away.
@@michealkelliher8428 It's already an undisputed fact that the East Germans (GDR) were doping. The East Germans kept meticulous records of the drugs that were being administered to each athlete (e.g. drug type, dosage size, dosage frequency, etc.). After the Berlin wall fell, these records were made public for all to see. The size and scope of the East German doping program was absolutely breathtaking. The Soviets were recognized as having a similar state-run program.
@feponcio Actually we knew that already, wasn't proven at the time and couldn't be proven is puzzling. The fact is though, while the Americans and other countries in the west were doping privately, they couldn't face the fact they throughout all of the 1980’s, they were beaten on the medals tables in both summer and winter olympic games by the GDR, except for their own little olmpics in LA'84. the Tour de France being a case in point back then, with doping, it eas everywhere, still going on, but not as prominent. As for the Soviets there was not a state doping programme, that's just bollcks by you throwing out that shit. I'm Irish, and I even know that.
USA third leg Valerie Brisco did amazing job.. Mrs. Florence as well but I would have loved to see her not ease up and use her "ATP" the first few meters.. But USSR were dominate esp the last leg.. Great Race

One of the greatest races ever. Both the USA and USSR broke the world record. Both Brygina and Flo Jo ran about 48.1, tremendous times. Nazarova was out of this world. The commentator actually said she might be running "too fast." I think she might have come in at under 48 seconds.
"And here she comes!!!"😂😂😂

+Stew Green 😅😅😅😅 you said what I was thinking smh💉💊💉💊
Funny thing is nobody wants to see slow times.
@Joe Jordan Not really sure where you were going with that. It seemed that Griffith-Joyner retired from the Olympics and athletics to have a child. She waited until 1990 to have her daughter. I would assume that she wanted to make sure the performance enhancers were out of her system before she wanted to conceive.
Doping in athletics still happens. Except, they use masking agents to prevent the detections.
And if there were teams that could win at 3 minutes 15 seconds in the women's 4x400 relay, I would be asking questions of them about potential cheating.
I remember watching this on TV. We knew we were seeing something special.
