As Jamaicans, we were on our honeymoon trip in Montreal passing the stadium by car same time as the race ended and heard the attending crowds erupted with huge congratulatory cheers!
Nice to see the good sportsmanship at the end of the race. Silver medalist Millard Hampton went on to run one of the greatest third legs of all time in the 4x100 relay
There was a shared understanding of the times and where we stood on Black issues. Most wouldn't know the levels to US and JA roles in the Black Liberation movement. People were teaching our history at the time and the music reinforced it. Felt the Energy and respect between both athletes, bless
What a beautiful sight with the Donsld Quarry and the two Americans holding hands and celebrating. I'm sooooo proud to be a jamaican. " We little but we tallawah ".
Whenever a Kenyan or Ethiopian wins, if one from either country wins and the others didn't win any medals, they all still take their flags and make a victory lap. I always notice that about those countries in East Africa. Also, they work together in the long distance races, some people might not even take notice. They help their strongest runner to win( not saying everyone should do it). Just something I notice they do.
I was playing a cricket match in St Ann's Bay at the time. I was keeping wicket and heard a loud shout coming from the players in the pavilion that evening(they were listening to the radio, as the race got underway and ended). I'll always remember the moment.
Wow, it's so interesting seeing the difference between then and even 20 years later. So much less hype and ego. Dude barely celebrated when he won, and the crowd seems pretty calm. Even the way they are running after the race seems more chilled!
in effetti la sua partecipazione rimase dubbia fino al'ultimo, per un problema persistente alla schiena. Un vero peccato, se fosse stato al meglio e con una corsia migliore l'esito della gara sarebbe stato certamente esaltante...
@@seanrichards5626i do not agree. 20.24 is disappointing ( was that great night). Pietro Mennea had run 3 times sub 20.20 in 1976 spring. Of course, his 19.72 in Mexico is not his real value. Even Robertson broke an incredible time that day.

The legendary Donald Quarrie . He the way for us future Jamaicans Athletes, CRUEL ME SEH. Ah suh it guh.
That American needed to hold back. A victory lap is for the victor!
Legendary sprinter Don Quarrie.
Nope, it was different back then. We all said black power UNITY!

If you watch the video (4:25) you'll see Quarrie WAITS for Evans to begin jogging a victory lap.

The great Donald Quarrie
Don Q among others helped paved the way for today's super athletes to be world beaters
I ran at this same venue as quarrie i never see my race i ran the 400 meter we both came from Jamaica in the same camp
Are you Daley or Leighton?
The Great Donald Quarrie
They went around the track as winners 🇯🇲 and 🇺🇸 love it
Great memories. I was there, we chatted for about 30 minutes on the training track prior to the 100 metres final.
One of Jamaica s 🇯🇲 best athlete 🙏🙏
The crowd then was far different from the crowd in today's event
Great memories!
Mennea grande ed indimenticabile!
This is the race that got me interested in track and field as an 8 year old
yes my Jamaican brother
Wow, it's so interesting seeing the difference between then and even 20 years later. So much less hype and ego. Dude barely celebrated when he won, and the crowd seems pretty calm. Even the way they are running after the race seems more chilled!
Winning from lane 2, quite telling
Absolutely!
I remember gathering round the TV only to have JBC go dark just as the race began. So Jamaicans missed it live!
😂😂😂😂😂😂...Sound like them.
"..real greatness is when faith been put to the test.."
Pelo menos esse cabra do brasil, saiu do último e ficou em quinto. Valeu moleque!!!
Yow jus watch di love weh di country dem use to share after di race🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 jamaica land we love
Qaurrie walked for Bolt to run...big up Jamaica
Quarie is the best curve runner of all time.
same as Livio Berruti in the 60s
Jamaica to the world
Dwayne Evans took third place. He was 18 or 19 years old at the time. I think he won Athlete on the year. That's the real story.
I was there ❤
Don Quarrie ran for the USC track team. Fight On!
Memba me madda used to talk bout quarry but me did think she say curry lol
remember this day clearly that turn was everthing 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Those were the days
Crawford lane 5, Trinidad. Had no clue that he ran 200
Of course he had. He had won the 100 meters earlier and suffered a muscle tear in this race. He would have been in battle for the medals otherwise.
Crawford would not have got into the medals ,his 200metre racing was not great,his best was 20.2 manually
@@arsenal4274 He was in good shape and the time for bronze was 20,43
Bravo Pietro!!!
con una corsia migliore sarebbe andato in medaglia....
I was 10 years old when this happened
Did anyone notice the clock started ticking too early
I was 4 years old when this happened 😂
Where the heck did you find this??
Awesome!!!
I never hrard of Bradford before
The Teenager Evans was impressive at 17yrs old. Bronze medal.
No holding hands nowadays
Before steroids....
ВАЛЕРИЯ БОРЗОВА ДАЖЕ В ФИНАЛЕ НЕ БЫЛО...
Very disappointing performance for Mennea in 76. he and Donald had some rivalry back in the 70's.
DQ the trend setter
3:34
Unica vera e sola sconfitta di Mennea.
con molte giustificazioni
My Alma Mata. Camperdown The sprint factory.
qui Mennea deluse forse non era al top
in effetti la sua partecipazione rimase dubbia fino al'ultimo, per un problema persistente alla schiena. Un vero peccato, se fosse stato al meglio e con una corsia migliore l'esito della gara sarebbe stato certamente esaltante...
@@AthleticsAndreas non mi ricordo piu' sono passati decenni, in che occasione Pietro disse che fu disturbato nella preparazione
@@giulioproietti5588 fu riportato dalla stampa e ricordo un'intervista RAI
Don Quarrie ran a fantastic first 100 meters. I was a bit disappointed by the time.
20.24, great time for '76 but in any event the Olympic Gold medal is what counts.
@@seanrichards5626 gold is what counts on any other event at the Olympics. But usually, at sprinting, gold goes along with great times.
Athletes at Olympics go for Gold first and foremost. Great Times and performances secondary and that goes for all events including Sprints.

@@seanrichards5626this is true on any distance except sprint. Athletes being pushed usually run at their PB level.
DNF
Before Jamaica and the USA started heavy drug use.
