    Athletics Women's 4 x 100m Relay Final Full Replay from the Olympic Stadium at the London 2012 Olympic Games. -- 10 August 2012
    Since 1896, athletics has been on the programme of each edition of the Games of the Olympiad. Its presence on the Games programme has allowed its popularity to increase across the world. This popularity was also strengthened by the creation of the IAAF in 1912. Women's events appeared for the first time at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, while the men's programme was standardised as of the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. Although at the beginning women were authorised to participate in only some events, today their programme is almost identical to that of the men.

Not to mention 3 really good handoffs. Just incredible. This won't be broken for a long time.

      Felix may not have the best start, but once she is gone, no one wants any part of her!!! She may never qualify in the 100m (ehh again-ish), but she needs to always be a part of that 4x100! Knight and Madison own that turn also. USA will have some tough decisions to make for Rio, because we have got faster 100m open runners who are not fit for the relay, but how can they be denied the spot they have "earned" by doing better in the individual event?

      ChazaqaYah Yashra'al she gets plenty of credit from true fans of the sport. A strong lead off is what the US had been lacking for yrs. US first legs had to compete with gold medalist Fraser-Price and would always hand off to Allyson Felix with a deficit.

Price wins races because of her start out of the blocks and drive phase, meaning she wins or loses her races in the first 40-60 meters, either way her top end speed isn’t what she’s known for or how she wins, so putting her on the first leg is literally the smartest thing to do lol

    I've watched a lot of track meets at different levels. This is by far the best relay race I have ever seen. The handoffs were textbook, and that's why the ladies were able to run so fast. As fast as the USA was, Jamaica and Ukraine also got around the track at a fast pace. That makes the USA's time even more jaw dropping. When Jeter got that last handoff, I mean it was like some rocket launchers came out of her shoes. She absolutely flew down that last 100. It was electrifying to watch it live, and still gives me goosebumps today!

    This race s just so beautiful to watch, even two years later. The strength and talent of these ladies makes you proud they represented the USA, after some many struggles with relay teams previously!

    I love watching Jeter point at the record on her way across. What a badass athlete.
