2004 Athens Summer Olympics Mens 4x100 Relay UK win Gold 

😂😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂😂

Great Britain Great Run my Father is British

🤣 Such a cute story.

Isn't that the truth. On paper, GB has absolultely no chance to beat the Americans. Yet they did it again today. Congrats GB.

Never look back. The incoming runner shouts hand, usually. The receiver then thrusts his hand back, grabs the baton and follows through for the first arm swing. Timing is critical!

@@thomasmckenzie4584 haha yes!!!

I just met Jason Gardener in Bath and congratulated his and his team-mates!

My goodness Maurice is the best

I get a lot of nostalgia listening to Cram and Foster

That line gives me the exact same reaction, along with the line preceding it: "He's got Maurice Greene coming down on him!" Epic commentary (if you're British)

I miss T&F commentary like this.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Boom In 1

Yessir. Get the baton/stick around. That is what makes relays what they are. Running quickly is not enough.

Every country should watch this race if they wanna know how to do the baton change properly

@@artisticskillz01 absolutely!

@Wilfred "I Tapped Dat Ass" Kensington 2017 WC was crazy as well

Yep relay ain't just about running fast it's getting the baton round best. GB did and USA didn't

Thank you

THANK YOU

Why is there an ad??????

sim sim salabim what do you mean

god's work

Remember that phrase as if was yesterday. Played it over and over.

Cram is a legend and last sub 3.47 mile runner who didn’t dope. The real world record holder for the mile

@@backintobalance9542lol it was Coleman who said it during the replay of the race. Cram said "Maurice Greene is coming" that gave me goosebumps when he couldn't get MLF

Is Az it was Stuart Storey commentating alongside Steve Cram. Great memories!

@@garyecclestone5944 thanks. Sorry I was so use to Coleman in that era & more😉

And also Stuart Storey

LUCKY

@@jw6680 , then watch this over & over until you figure it out

You're so right

Absolutely, every millisecond counts and could be the difference between gold, silver and bronze. Deji had a good shout for the gold as the 3rd leg had a fantastic race, but they mixed up the baton exchange ever so slightly. But Greene in the last 10 meters was moving like the thunderbolt

Always ruins my day when Brits win anything.

I remember this as a kid it was phenomenal 🇬🇧

@@trevorwoodley3897 So, pretty much every day is a pisser for you.

Considering the drugs Greene was on, it's no,surprise.

never a drug cheat, gatlin maybe but not greene, get your facts right

Definitely not one of the best closes you've ever seen. Greene was behind by maybe a meter when he got the baton and couldn't close the gap. I was shocked. No way he shouldn't have run down the Brit.

unfair - MG was never even suspected of being on the juice. One of the sports good guys. And I say that as a Brit who was there that night.

and the winning margin was? MLF was a bit of a tool but the lad was quick when he wanted to be.

Steve Cram is the best.

wor Crammie! Of course Athletics fans know he was a great athlete himself - world champion and world record holder in the 1500 once upon a time

unfortunately these announcers are simply an interface between a mostly ignorant public and the sport itself. True track fans take them with a grain of salt

He didn't mention the disastrous final change for Nigeria. They would have done if....

@@MrStevecro Steve Cram wasn't just a commentator he was also a decorated athlete. Get your facts straight. 🙄🙄🙄

He's good

It was a perfect run.

Did you stop watching before Bolt ran?

One of my favs for sure.

tremendous commentator

Is one of the best commentators

I've read that the standard swap is left hand, right hand, and so on, but how they can shout for the arm to come out in that kind of noisy environment, and take off at the right time to hit full speed before leaving the handover box, fucking blows my mind, these guys trained as solo sprinters, they adapted to be in a relay team, it's nothing short of phenomenal

Me too. I always wondered why Darren wasn't with the other 3 right after the race.

It’s called 4x100 meters not (4x100)+2m

@@user-ev7jw4th8j 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Close but no cigar 😁Greene was a powerhouse sprinter though .A all time great no doubt .

But not enough to win ...

Moist Gnome almost being the key word

@Moist Gnome Almost, didn't get him a gold medal. #facts

Fair enough, Greene didn’t catch him in time. But my god he flew!

@Moist Gnome Nothing 'lucky' about those perfect changeovers! That takes serious discipline and a large set of balls to pull of as well as they did on the biggest stage of all. Luck didn't play a part here.

Top comment

Hahaha oh well 🇬🇧

Great response, practice and discipline can and do win short relays

Crawford's start was horrible...

Gatlin great sprinter.... A history of bad exchanges is a questionable relay man asset

@@themoors4563 Well let's be real. This was the only chance Gatlin was going to win gold in relay.

@@misterbreezeoftharedpillma1710 aim of the game is to get baton round safely as well as fast. USA didn't get it right but GB did so GB deserved to win

@@JediJide2 they stopped feeding our athletes literally

@@aminuabdullahi5922 corruption. Things fall apart, no sense of patriotism. Waste of time representing the flag of a failed nation

@@princeosars3298 As bitter as this sounds, you're absolutely correct😂😂 Nothing works well in the country...so you can imagine the little to no attention given to athletes/athletics. Most of our half-decent sportsmen/women have to cover their training,injury and rehabilitation costs by themselves, with no assistance from the government. Then when the time comes to compete, they're forced to don the colours of said country. So many bright prospects end up naturalising in other countries so they can realize their athletic dreams. Such a shame.

@@dajayjayzee Same thing happens in Kenya. It's a shame how much corrupt leaders arrest Africa's potential. And now we have to count on them to get us through the pandemic. We're doomed!

LUCKY

bolt was part of the 2004 olympics mate🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣No. He idolised how great Justin Gatlin was in 2004.

They got lucky

Individually the GB sprinters had an poor Olympics MLF and Gardener didn't make the cut for 100m final and Campbell and Devonish like wise for the 200m final so Colin Jackson and Michael Johnson as well as Crammy and Stuart Storey had plenty of reason to criticise them. But that race is shows the beauty of the sprint relay anything can happen who would have expected that American team of Crawford gold in the 200m, Gatlin gold in the 100 and bronze in the 200m and Greene bronze in the 100m to have been beaten. It was third and forth legs that did it for GB the change between Gaitlin and Coby Miller was awful Miller is almost at a standstill and the final change Aliu and Greene and looking for the baton and Devonish and MLF's change was faultless as Lewis Francis is not looking around to see where the baton is and that gave GB the lead but Greene was closing fast it was nail bitingly close.

dcvbhtrdf and now we've done it again. Funny world. All be it was the world championships.

That's only 2 Olympics; Delusions of Grandeur?

dcvbhtrdf we did it again in 2017! :-)

Yes but jamaica is finiahed. USA is back. Jamaica made hiatory wirh Bolt but that is what Jamaica ia now. HISTORY when it comes to the 4X1 for men and women. Amd mens 100. Shelly or elaine may take the womens 100

Great Britain used to get like 8 medals at the Olympics, now it's over 100

This was around 2013...mentioned to him about remember watching this race, it was great to see a true gold medallist. Pretty sure he's a fitness coach for a Rugby Union team if i can remember.

They dine off luck in Britain

@@misterbreezeoftharedpillma1710 I'm tired of you keep on repeating the same thing. It wasn't luck it was Britian's precision fact is they worked better as a team and USA didn't (typical with all the big egos) hahahaha
