Yep you have to laugh at the commentary. Typical American assholery. So focussed on their own (bell) ends that they implode into complete mardiness when they realise they aren't going to win and forget the Soviets break the world record. What a bunch of twats.
So strange seeing East and West Germany again. I am definitely getting old but when I think back to the history of things that have happened in my lifetime, it’s crazy.
I remember when Germany made up 2/3 of present day Poland ( East Prussia) and then lost 1/3 after W.W.1 and then the rest after W.W.2. But then I am quite old ( 153 years ). 1870 Germany was huge compared to today's Germany. Ditto for Austria.

'And here she comes'....haha!! As a few have mentioned biased commentary. Hilarious to listen to actually. Bryzgina is one of the all time 400m greats and is still the 4th fastest of all time over 400m. Flo Jo was never going to beat her!

My point was that even if Olga Bryzhina was on something (without evidence as you said), Flo Jo was also anything but clean. So let's not paint Flo Jo as the poor little American girl who lost to the doped up Russian. That's untrue and quite frankly hilarious.
'Congratulations to the Soviets, they ran well'. Really? They set the world record, the longest standing one in all of athletics relays, and they just ran well? How can commentators be so biased?
@@rodsean So was Flo jo! And many other Americans too. Wake Up! You blind fool. USA, HAS THE WORST STEROIDS PROBLEMS. MARIION" JONES DID PRISON TIME SHE WAS THE SCAPE GOAT. LANCE ARMSTRONG RING A BELL??😕😕😕
What an excellent 4×400m.relay 👏👌. I think if Flo Jo participate in 400m, she would be gets either gold medal 🏅or silver medal 🥈in Seoul Olympic. So that a close gape between Olga and Flo Jo from starting to finishing is the same.
3:49 Flo Jo lost it right here when she casually dropped behind the Russian and wasn't able to make up the ground, and the comentator said "smart move". I bet she regretted it.
She ran 48.1 a top 5 female split ever. She was running vs the Olympic champ who ran 47.9 ish and the 2nd leg from Soviet team ran 47.8 ish The fastest relay splits ever came from this race
Who knows. I think if she goes out hard and passes Olga, she gets tired, and fades badly towards the end and Olga passes her, winning by more than she already did. She isn't a natural 400 runner remember, no matter how much drugs she was on (and Olga was also doped bigtime and is a natural 400 runner).
Dude that was the top 400m runner in the games and they broke the world record. FloJo didnt lose anything. They had the better team that day and won. FloJo needed to get the stick in the lead to have any chance. Kind of like the 3rd runner for the soviets who was hawked down by V B. Hooks but just handed off in first. FloJo with a big lead may have won by a hair but not from behind. She ran 48 making it look easy. How many 400M's did she run that year? I dont remember her running any that year.
@@websurfer1000 keep in mind the concept of slipstreaming. FGJ was assisted by the lack of wind resistance. Had FGJ tok the lead and ran hard, she would have tired and let the Soviet pass her and get an even better world record time.
@@WorldSacred yeah in my day running track we used to call that drafting. True but that doesn’t work against a superior 400m runner. FloJo needed to be handed a big lead to win. With the lead the Soviet runner took the first 200m out fast to negate FloJo superior 200m speed for the second 200m. Common tactic for stronger runners to defang runners with superior speed/kicks. FloJo was out of gas in the last 200. The Soviet runner knew what she was doing. FloJo ran amazing with her 48 split but she was not going to win handed the stick in second.
I went to high school in Germany, on a US Air Force base. Two years later, in 1976, I was a young airman in the barracks, in Nebraska. I won a one hundred dollar bet that EAST Germany would get more gold than the USA. I won...and that was a stupid amount of money for back then.
If I'm not mistaken, this is the last gold medal won by a team from the Soviet Union as well as the last medal won by East Germany. Who would have thought that by the 1992 games in Barcelona both countries would no longer exist?
The soviet union has retained her title in 4X4 as the unified team in barcelone . Since the reunification of the germany, the level of his runner have been decresed deeply.
@@BOOMSLANG85 a lot of that was due to improvements in testing as well as the fact that state sponsored doping programs were done away with after the wall came down; at least until Putin came into power.
Flo-Jo's split was 48 which I think is still the record for the US. Keep in mind the regular 400m record is 47.6 (held by Marita Koch 1985!!!!). as I understand it she wasn't prepared to run the 400 at all (comments confirm this).
Naturally it was 1985! That was pre mandatory drug testing in 1989. And guess what? Post 1989, bar athletic events in their infancy at world level, it wasn't until 2016 that an existing female T&F world record was broken in a then Olympic event. That's despite improved technique, faster track surfaces and better footwear. That was the Olympics that damaged the sport of athletics beyond repair, (prolly would've been 84 but for the Eastern European tit for tat no show) in no small part because of Flo Jo and Ben Johnson. This was drug cheating on an industrial scale fueled by testosterone and HGH. State sponsored doping by East Germans and Russians. In European athletics in the late 70s and 80s it was very rare to see a Western European women in a final let alone a medal. This isn't like more recent cheating, like Marion Jones, the Greek pair and a whole host of Russians, Turks and Belarussians since dq'd from 2012 and the like, trying to avoid much more rigorous testing. This was turbo boosted cheating.
Yes very good time. But you forgot one major thing. You can never compare a running start with a start from the blocks. The time 47.6 is from the blocks.
@@drumtum mentioned only to point out how fast the record is - running starts will typically be faster eh? which highlights how fast Marita's time from the blocks was (yes I realize there is controversy over the East Germans probably doping at that time)
@@ash27slick74 Although they did not catch her like Ben Johnson in the 1988, it was very obvious that she was on something because you can NOT have that body and speed within two years. She probably was very clever chemically and mixed up substances so that her drugs and steroids did not show up! However, a "perfectly healthy woman who was a triple Olympic champion (100m, 200m, and 4X100 relay) in 88", died of heart attack in her late 30s or early 40s. Believe me - I am trained MD, and nobody of that caliber will die in that age if the person was genuinely healthy. She was not! That is why she died of a massive heart attack in her prime years. The answer is STEROIDS! Look at her contemporaries, Gwen Torrence and Jamaica's Merlene Ottey! They as healthy as horse, and Merlene is actually still on the track near 60 years by now! And interestingly, both Gwen and Merlene publicly said that Flo JO was on drugs! They know a thing or two about sprinting!
Not to disparage any individual, but weren't the Soviet athletes known heavy dopers back then? I think that is why the commentators couldn't believe that East Germany was so far behind because they were the worst of all, if my memory serves.
Those red USA leotards back in '88 were way ahead of their time and paved the way for the widespread use of them in elite women's athletics in the 90's.
@@64fairlane305 Negative. Watch the video again, pause it at 2:27 (that's the TIME OF THE RACE not the video), and you can clearly see the Soviet runner ahead of Flo Jo (as the baton is being passed), by several meters as well as Bryzgina being more further inside which gives her a clear advantage. I only go by facts, good day.....
These commentators sure knew how to spin a loss into a moral victory. Geez! Shut up already! USA lost! Just because Flo-Jo runs around the final curve doesn't mean "Here she comes!" and presto! She overtakes the Soviet for the gold. Simply means she is running around the final curve, period.
@@johnnymora8363Yup. It's a moral issue: Flo Jo achieved her results through hard training. She didn't need doping. That's the point here. She changed coaches, she and her husband developed new training methods, which brought the long-awaited success, in addition to the work put in. A statement from Flo Jo and her husband, Al Joyner: “I know exactly what people say about me,” she said. "And that's just not true." I don't need to use drugs. If they want, they can come for testing every week of the year. I have nothing to hide." Her husband says all the talk boils down to jealousy. He said his wife's astonishing gains are the result of being "trained as a man." He added: “We bought a $150 leg exerciser and she did leg rolls every night. Over 20 pounds every night to add strength to your legs. She worked 12 hours a day.” Only those who have nothing to hide say so. Do 12 hours of leg training a day for months and you'll set the world record. Period. There are interviews with her from 1984 where her voice is exactly the same. She always had a deep voice.Her voice is also deep in the training video made in 1994, even though she hasn't competed in years. Flo Jo's death was caused by an epileptic seizure due to a congenital brain disorder, sadly drowned RIP. Florence Griffith Joyner retires from the field On February 22, 1989, five months after the Seoul Olympic Games, Florence Griffith Joyner announced her retirement from track and field. When discussing her retirement with Liguori, Florence Griffith Joyner said: "I retired in 1989 because I could no longer train at 100%, the way I used to train. If I can't give it my all, I don't want to give it at all." Florence Griffith Joyner moved on with her life. She became a mother, pursued fashion design and continued to combine sports and style. She even designed the 1990 NBA uniforms for the Indiana Pacers. After the death of Florence Griffith Joyner, doping allegations against her intensified. Many believed that illegal performance enhancers may have contributed to her death. However, after the autopsy, Dr. Richard Fukumoto, forensic medicine expert, clearly stated that no changes caused by steroids or other doping agents could be detected in her body. "This report allows Florence Griffith Joyner to rest in peace," said Primo Nebiolo, then president of the International Association of Athletics Federations. “Her family has had to endure incredible media attacks, many trying to undermine her legacy without any real evidence. This campaign harmed the entire sport and the anti-doping campaign. I expect more responsible behavior from media representatives in the future. I hope that after this, many members of the athletic world will assure the family of their love and sympathy." The 100m and 200m world record holder is Flo Jo, these are the facts. Facts are stubborn things. "Flo Jo was juicing". These are just assumptions. The truth is, no one has ever proven these allegations. So Flo Jo's world records are and will remain official. I don't see anyone who can topple them. Flo Jo achieved her results with the perfect harmony of body, soul and spirit. Everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Florence Griffith Joyner's style and speed brought her international fame, but her Olympic performance was clouded by skepticism. A year after the Games, in 1989, a former American athlete named Darrell Robinson told a European magazine that Florence Griffith Joyner had given her money to buy growth hormones. Florence Griffith Joyner denied the allegations, telling the New York Times, "It's all made up lies about drugs. I'd be crazy to do drugs." In 1998, sports commentator John Feinstein said on NPR's Morning Edition, "The rumors were in Seoul in 1988, and I think the first thing to note is that he never tested positive," he said. "But she became a star late. She was 28 at the time... These rumors will always be there and she's been asked about them throughout her career, which she's always denied." The International Olympic Committee's medical board says it conducted rigorous drug testing on Florence Griffith Joyner during the 1988 Olympics - and it always came back negative. Florence Griffith Joyner spoke to journalist Ann Liguori about the allegations in 1991: "I knew I had never taken drugs, so I didn't let it bother me when people said that. I knew it was something that was in the news," she said. "People were looking for personal things to point at the athletes. Try not to buy it and just focus on what needs to be done and move on." I know it's hard to accept the fact that Flo Jo is the best in the world, pure. No one has ever proven that it is muddy. That being said, I understand that you are suffering and trying to smear Flo Jo's memory, but that only qualifies you. Your baseless accusations are just trying to reassure me, I am calm because I know the truth about Flo Jo's purity. So you can say anything until you prove that your words are empty. . She is the only woman to hold 2 athletics world records for more than 35 years. I'm sorry you can't understand that there are people in our world who can create admirable acts without any doping. DYOR The Jamaicans and Flo Jo's American opponents want to erase her official world records. I understand the reason for this: It is hard for them to bear that there was such an excellent athlete who achieved such fantastic results without doping. The envy, jealousy, anger that they may feel because of this becomes palpable to those who can sense it. It's easier for people to make accusations, find excuses, smear someone (Flo Jo) if their goal is not to acknowledge the wonderful achievements of a certain person. Such is human nature..
These commentators are ridiculous. The most brilliant women's 4x400 m ever raced in history by the Soviet team and they say " They ran well". Stupid guys. And after the race they show and interview the losers not a single frame on the winners. Pffft!
The two teams ran an insane time to go 1-2 that has not been equaled since. The Soviets won it with a superior team and an anchor with great racing tactics. The excitement was the 200m gold runner vs 400m Gold runner to anchor. The race was lost in the second leg for the US. The US needed to maintain that lead and then add to it. VBH had an amazing 3rd leg to get the US close but the only way the US was going to win was if FloJo got the stick with a nice lead so she could conserve energy for the last 200M to out kick the Soviet runner and maybe win by a hair. The soviet anchor properly removed flojo's advantage - superior 200m speed - by taking her out fast to neutralize her speed for the last 200M. The anchor runner knew exactly what she was doing - using her superior 400m strength to negate flojos superior 200m speed. This race shows why many of us track fans wanted Bolt tossed into a 4X400m at least in one of the games.
@Mark rapacki It wasnt just PEDs that gave the eastern bloc a huge advantage in that era. The amateur rules in that era really hurt the western athletes when it came to the Olympics. The Russian hockey team was basically an NHL level team thats why when the US team beat them in the winter games it was a massive upset and we all went insane watching it. It was even worse for runners. Most of our runners were on food stamps trying to work and train at the same time. They had to get jobs that would allow them to train and those were normally low paying jobs. The eastern bloc had programs to pick out top athletes at a young age then they were supported for decades while ours were on their own having to retain amateur status. Their PED usage was also state sponsored. Once the soviet empire fell the state sponsored programs went with it...except for Russia...still doping at the state level.
@Mark rapacki I only knew that because I ran in the tail end of that era. If you watch the movie about PRE they cover it... one of the best US distance runners of that time in the early 70's working in a bar, living in a trailer, on food stamps.. while the eastern bloc runners were fully supported with fake jobs....like policeman where they could train all the time and not show up for work while collecting a pay check for "police work" to retain their Amateur status. they were paid and supported to run while our guys where on their own until the hypocrisy was just too much... pros vs true amateurs....that they finally changed the rules then it was pros vs pros. Remember the dream team basketball team. We finally used pros vs their pros in the games...they got spanked.
@@websurfer1000ни одного доказательства, одни лишь слова. Кажется кто-то говорил, что в России допинг? Ах, точно, я это слышал, пойду повторю в интернете, как истину😂 Щи и каша- пища наша.
Unreal, I almost can't believe how fast they are going... the first Russian girl was absolutely unreal! It's no wonder that world record is still standing. This has to be one of the best relay races in history. The commentator couldn't believe they hung on and beat out Flo Jo.
Commentator: after "smart move smart move", he offers us "she tucks in behind Olga..." (checks notes) "...Bryzgina"- well, why should he remember her name, she was only the gold medallist in the 400M.
Давайте скажем правду. Сегодня в лёгкой атлетике на всех соревнованиях мирового уровня это уже соревнования не мирового первенства, а африканского и южно-американского континентов. А то, что эти спортсмены представляют Европу и США просто блеф...
При СССР такого бы: а) не было, он мог и не допустить современной вакханалии, б) это ему бы не помешало побеждать. Как и ГДР! Но с Путирашкой, все понимают, можно делать всё. И делают. Особенно старается некто Путин.
@@pingisola I respect your point, but she was lean and conditioned. She didnt have the look of a Ben Johnson. Theyve analyzed her stride. She was just perfect.
Let's agree here Flojo was never a 400M runner and unlike the East German who was was the 400M world record holder at the time. The expectation that Flojo would beat her was just too much.
I dont know if any of the American runners were on drugs, nor do i know if any of the Soviet runners were on drugs, The only 2 people DEFINITELY smoking, popping, shooting or snorting were the COMMENTATORS!!!......what race were they watching?
kev t I'm not. Her progress is just not possible clean when records in the 100 and 200 are boken by hundredths of a second and she breaks them buy tenths. Plus her death at 38. She was drugged up and so sad.
Given both WR & AR, along with the German record, have lasted now 30+ years, it shows that this race was EVEN-STEVEN. I'll let you draw your own conclusions.
+ K Francis Yes. The best result in history, after the Olympics in Seoul 3: 16,71, won the American women at the World Championships in Stuttgart in 1993. And the best result in the 21st century 3: 16.87 from the London games, also belongs to American women. It must be added that Bryzhina and Nazarova received on their changes 4 and 5 respectively the best time in history, obtained from a flying start. Bryzhina 47.80 and Nazarova 47.82. In the 21st century, American women started the relay several times, so that at the first change they were over a second faster than the pace for the world record of the Soviets, but then only lost to them.

3:49 Flo Jo lost it right here when she casually dropped behind the Russian and wasn't able to make up the ground, and the comentator said "smart move". I bet she regretted it.
She ran 48.1 a top 5 female split ever.
She was running vs the Olympic champ who ran 47.9 ish and the 2nd leg from Soviet team ran 47.8 ish
The fastest relay splits ever came from this race
Who knows. I think if she goes out hard and passes Olga, she gets tired, and fades badly towards the end and Olga passes her, winning by more than she already did. She isn't a natural 400 runner remember, no matter how much drugs she was on (and Olga was also doped bigtime and is a natural 400 runner).
Dude that was the top 400m runner in the games and they broke the world record. FloJo didnt lose anything. They had the better team that day and won. FloJo needed to get the stick in the lead to have any chance. Kind of like the 3rd runner for the soviets who was hawked down by V B. Hooks but just handed off in first. FloJo with a big lead may have won by a hair but not from behind. She ran 48 making it look easy. How many 400M's did she run that year? I dont remember her running any that year.
@@websurfer1000 keep in mind the concept of slipstreaming. FGJ was assisted by the lack of wind resistance. Had FGJ tok the lead and ran hard, she would have tired and let the Soviet pass her and get an even better world record time.
@@WorldSacred yeah in my day running track we used to call that drafting. True but that doesn’t work against a superior 400m runner. FloJo needed to be handed a big lead to win. With the lead the Soviet runner took the first 200m out fast to negate FloJo superior 200m speed for the second 200m. Common tactic for stronger runners to defang runners with superior speed/kicks. FloJo was out of gas in the last 200. The Soviet runner knew what she was doing. FloJo ran amazing with her 48 split but she was not going to win handed the stick in second.
I went to high school in Germany, on a US Air Force base. Two years later, in 1976, I was a young airman in the barracks, in Nebraska. I won a one hundred dollar bet that EAST Germany would get more gold than the USA. I won...and that was a stupid amount of money for back then.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the last gold medal won by a team from the Soviet Union as well as the last medal won by East Germany. Who would have thought that by the 1992 games in Barcelona both countries would no longer exist?

Flo-Jo's split was 48 which I think is still the record for the US. Keep in mind the regular 400m record is 47.6 (held by Marita Koch 1985!!!!). as I understand it she wasn't prepared to run the 400 at all (comments confirm this).
Naturally it was 1985! That was pre mandatory drug testing in 1989. And guess what? Post 1989, bar athletic events in their infancy at world level, it wasn't until 2016 that an existing female T&F world record was broken in a then Olympic event. That's despite improved technique, faster track surfaces and better footwear. That was the Olympics that damaged the sport of athletics beyond repair, (prolly would've been 84 but for the Eastern European tit for tat no show) in no small part because of Flo Jo and Ben Johnson. This was drug cheating on an industrial scale fueled by testosterone and HGH. State sponsored doping by East Germans and Russians. In European athletics in the late 70s and 80s it was very rare to see a Western European women in a final let alone a medal. This isn't like more recent cheating, like Marion Jones, the Greek pair and a whole host of Russians, Turks and Belarussians since dq'd from 2012 and the like, trying to avoid much more rigorous testing. This was turbo boosted cheating.
Yes very good time. But you forgot one major thing. You can never compare a running start with a start from the blocks. The time 47.6 is from the blocks.
@@drumtum mentioned only to point out how fast the record is - running starts will typically be faster eh? which highlights how fast Marita's time from the blocks was (yes I realize there is controversy over the East Germans probably doping at that time)
Great race. But the Commentators were terrible. One even said "I can feel it'. Corny stuff.
You are right! Their drugged up Flo Jo failed even when she is drugged up with all those drugs!
the commentators knew the US would get second, nobody was going to beat SU - they were trying to sell it as best they could
@@bbatjargal1549 Drugged up? What FACTS do you have or are you relying on the bathroom wall?
@@ash27slick74 Although they did not catch her like Ben Johnson in the 1988, it was very obvious that she was on something because you can NOT have that body and speed within two years. She probably was very clever chemically and mixed up substances so that her drugs and steroids did not show up! However, a "perfectly healthy woman who was a triple Olympic champion (100m, 200m, and 4X100 relay) in 88", died of heart attack in her late 30s or early 40s. Believe me - I am trained MD, and nobody of that caliber will die in that age if the person was genuinely healthy. She was not! That is why she died of a massive heart attack in her prime years. The answer is STEROIDS! Look at her contemporaries, Gwen Torrence and Jamaica's Merlene Ottey! They as healthy as horse, and Merlene is actually still on the track near 60 years by now! And interestingly, both Gwen and Merlene publicly said that Flo JO was on drugs! They know a thing or two about sprinting!

Not to disparage any individual, but weren't the Soviet athletes known heavy dopers back then? I think that is why the commentators couldn't believe that East Germany was so far behind because they were the worst of all, if my memory serves.

These commentators sure knew how to spin a loss into a moral victory. Geez! Shut up already! USA lost! Just because Flo-Jo runs around the final curve doesn't mean "Here she comes!" and presto! She overtakes the Soviet for the gold. Simply means she is running around the final curve, period.
Fanny Blankers Koen won 4 gold medals in 1948.
She ran a 48.1 400 relay after running a full Olympic meet for the 100, 200 and 4x100. UNREAL. FloJo is without a doubt the Goddess of Sprint.
Drugs. Lots of ‘em….
Very debateable.
she was doped and died because of this doping in 1998. Look a her "female" beard, her muscles. Pure doping.
She was cheater!!!!
@@johnnymora8363Yup.
It's a moral issue: Flo Jo achieved her results through hard training. She didn't need doping. That's the point here.
She changed coaches, she and her husband developed new training methods, which brought the long-awaited success, in addition to the work put in.
A statement from Flo Jo and her husband, Al Joyner:
“I know exactly what people say about me,” she said. "And that's just not true." I don't need to use drugs. If they want, they can come for testing every week of the year. I have nothing to hide." Her husband says all the talk boils down to jealousy. He said his wife's astonishing gains are the result of being "trained as a man." He added: “We bought a $150 leg exerciser and she did leg rolls every night. Over 20 pounds every night to add strength to your legs. She worked 12 hours a day.”
Only those who have nothing to hide say so.
Do 12 hours of leg training a day for months and you'll set the world record.
Period.
There are interviews with her from 1984 where her voice is exactly the same. She always had a deep voice.Her voice is also deep in the training video made in 1994, even though she hasn't competed in years.
Flo Jo's death was caused by an epileptic seizure due to a congenital brain disorder, sadly drowned RIP.
Florence Griffith Joyner retires from the field On February 22, 1989, five months after the Seoul Olympic Games, Florence Griffith Joyner announced her retirement from track and field. When discussing her retirement with Liguori, Florence Griffith Joyner said: "I retired in 1989 because I could no longer train at 100%, the way I used to train. If I can't give it my all, I don't want to give it at all." Florence Griffith Joyner moved on with her life. She became a mother, pursued fashion design and continued to combine sports and style. She even designed the 1990 NBA uniforms for the Indiana Pacers.
After the death of Florence Griffith Joyner, doping allegations against her intensified. Many believed that illegal performance enhancers may have contributed to her death. However, after the autopsy, Dr. Richard Fukumoto, forensic medicine expert, clearly stated that no changes caused by steroids or other doping agents could be detected in her body. "This report allows Florence Griffith Joyner to rest in peace," said Primo Nebiolo, then president of the International Association of Athletics Federations. “Her family has had to endure incredible media attacks, many trying to undermine her legacy without any real evidence. This campaign harmed the entire sport and the anti-doping campaign. I expect more responsible behavior from media representatives in the future. I hope that after this, many members of the athletic world will assure the family of their love and sympathy."
The 100m and 200m world record holder is Flo Jo, these are the facts.
Facts are stubborn things. "Flo Jo was juicing". These are just assumptions. The truth is, no one has ever proven these allegations. So Flo Jo's world records are and will remain official. I don't see anyone who can topple them. Flo Jo achieved her results with the perfect harmony of body, soul and spirit.
Everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Florence Griffith Joyner's style and speed brought her international fame, but her Olympic performance was clouded by skepticism. A year after the Games, in 1989, a former American athlete named Darrell Robinson told a European magazine that Florence Griffith Joyner had given her money to buy growth hormones. Florence Griffith Joyner denied the allegations, telling the New York Times, "It's all made up lies about drugs. I'd be crazy to do drugs." In 1998, sports commentator John Feinstein said on NPR's Morning Edition, "The rumors were in Seoul in 1988, and I think the first thing to note is that he never tested positive," he said. "But she became a star late. She was 28 at the time... These rumors will always be there and she's been asked about them throughout her career, which she's always denied." The International Olympic Committee's medical board says it conducted rigorous drug testing on Florence Griffith Joyner during the 1988 Olympics - and it always came back negative. Florence Griffith Joyner spoke to journalist Ann Liguori about the allegations in 1991: "I knew I had never taken drugs, so I didn't let it bother me when people said that. I knew it was something that was in the news," she said. "People were looking for personal things to point at the athletes. Try not to buy it and just focus on what needs to be done and move on."
I know it's hard to accept the fact that Flo Jo is the best in the world, pure. No one has ever proven that it is muddy. That being said, I understand that you are suffering and trying to smear Flo Jo's memory, but that only qualifies you. Your baseless accusations are just trying to reassure me, I am calm because I know the truth about Flo Jo's purity. So you can say anything until you prove that your words are empty. . She is the only woman to hold 2 athletics world records for more than 35 years. I'm sorry you can't understand that there are people in our world who can create admirable acts without any doping.
DYOR
The Jamaicans and Flo Jo's American opponents want to erase her official world records. I understand the reason for this: It is hard for them to bear that there was such an excellent athlete who achieved such fantastic results without doping. The envy, jealousy, anger that they may feel because of this becomes palpable to those who can sense it. It's easier for people to make accusations, find excuses, smear someone (Flo Jo) if their goal is not to acknowledge the wonderful achievements of a certain person. Such is human nature..
These commentators are ridiculous. The most brilliant women's 4x400 m ever raced in history by the Soviet team and they say " They ran well". Stupid guys. And after the race they show and interview the losers not a single frame on the winners. Pffft!

Точно подмечено.
The two teams ran an insane time to go 1-2 that has not been equaled since. The Soviets won it with a superior team and an anchor with great racing tactics. The excitement was the 200m gold runner vs 400m Gold runner to anchor. The race was lost in the second leg for the US. The US needed to maintain that lead and then add to it. VBH had an amazing 3rd leg to get the US close but the only way the US was going to win was if FloJo got the stick with a nice lead so she could conserve energy for the last 200M to out kick the Soviet runner and maybe win by a hair. The soviet anchor properly removed flojo's advantage - superior 200m speed - by taking her out fast to neutralize her speed for the last 200M. The anchor runner knew exactly what she was doing - using her superior 400m strength to negate flojos superior 200m speed. This race shows why many of us track fans wanted Bolt tossed into a 4X400m at least in one of the games.
I think it was lost when the Russian coaches handed out performance enhancing drugs to their athletes.
@Mark rapacki It wasnt just PEDs that gave the eastern bloc a huge advantage in that era. The amateur rules in that era really hurt the western athletes when it came to the Olympics. The Russian hockey team was basically an NHL level team thats why when the US team beat them in the winter games it was a massive upset and we all went insane watching it. It was even worse for runners. Most of our runners were on food stamps trying to work and train at the same time. They had to get jobs that would allow them to train and those were normally low paying jobs. The eastern bloc had programs to pick out top athletes at a young age then they were supported for decades while ours were on their own having to retain amateur status. Their PED usage was also state sponsored. Once the soviet empire fell the state sponsored programs went with it...except for Russia...still doping at the state level.
@Mark rapacki I only knew that because I ran in the tail end of that era. If you watch the movie about PRE they cover it... one of the best US distance runners of that time in the early 70's working in a bar, living in a trailer, on food stamps.. while the eastern bloc runners were fully supported with fake jobs....like policeman where they could train all the time and not show up for work while collecting a pay check for "police work" to retain their Amateur status. they were paid and supported to run while our guys where on their own until the hypocrisy was just too much... pros vs true amateurs....that they finally changed the rules then it was pros vs pros. Remember the dream team basketball team. We finally used pros vs their pros in the games...they got spanked.

Yes. The best result in history, after the Olympics in Seoul 3: 16,71, won the American women at the World Championships in Stuttgart in 1993. And the best result in the 21st century 3: 16.87 from the London games, also belongs to American women. It must be added that
Bryzhina and Nazarova received on their changes 4 and 5 respectively the best time in history, obtained from a flying start. Bryzhina 47.80 and Nazarova 47.82.
In the 21st century, American women started the relay several times, so that at the first change they were over a second faster than the pace for the world record of the Soviets, but then only lost to them.
