Sxubsxcribex Laughters forever. Make you laugh

Please publish about Lee Chong Wei vs Chou Tien Chen at Rio Olympic Badminton Men's single quarter final.

Ale rekord Szewińskiej też często do tej pory daje medal nawet złoty

1976 - powerful Soviet Wrestling team winning 12 Gold medals; 1972 - powerful Japanese Gymnasts winning 16 medals in Munich olympics; 1976 - Tatyana Kazankina 2 gold medals in Montreal; 1976 - The powerful USA team winning 27 medals, 12 gold, in 13 Swimming men's events in Montreal; 1992 - The powerful Cuvan Boxing Team winning 7 gold medals in Barcelona; The twins East German brkthers Joerg and Bernd Landvoigt two time olympic champions in Rowing coxless pairs;

@@dariuszszumniak9065 Irena Szewinska was an amazing athlete. Great champion, 7 time olympic medalist, medals in 5 different events in four olympic games. I am trying remember by heart...In 1964: gold 4x100m - silver 200m and long jumping. In 1968 - gold in 200m and bronze in 100m. 1972 - bronze in 200m. 1976 - gold in 400m. Total: 7 medals, 3 gold, 2 silver and 2 bronze. If I did some mistake, let me to know.

How many individual World Championships does Allyson Felix have?

@@shylo9776 4 which is excellent, but the Olympics are what track athletes are judged on as those are the only championships where everyone is 100 percent focussed on preparing for and winning them. What Perec achieved in 96 to follow up her gold in 92 was incredible, she should get more recognition in my opinion.

@@darraghfarrell2245 The Olympics are not the only championships that everyone focuses on to win. That's a ridiculous claim, and it's false. Nobody only focusses for an event that happens every 4 years. You don't have to exaggerate. The Olympics are the most prestigious athletic event, but don't downplay the World Championships.

@@darraghfarrell2245 what a ludicrous statement. Especially considering how short the shelf life of a sprint career usually is.

You don’t have to prop up an athlete by bringing another down bruh. Also, Allyson has been a pro from age 17 to age 35 and has consistently won Olympic medals all throughout, even if they weren’t all gold. How many elite sprinters, male or female, can boast that kind of longevity?

Ce genre qui rassemble me manque.

Oui. Une classe exceptionnelle

she is the greatest french sprinter male or female of all time maybe greatest track athlete

Yes, I see it like you. This is the real world record, the best of all non-dopers and non-transgenders. Yes, this, 48.25 by Marie-José Perec, is the true world record. Can Sydney McLaughlin, current best time 48.74, beat it? Yes, she can.

What about Naser's 48.14 in Doha 2019? I hope it's clean but, regardless, Naser has a beautiful running form. That 47.60 is untouchable by a clean runner.

​@@vandrosiaow ya, Naser's 48.14s almost forgot about that. But is it now under scrutiny due to her suspected doping. I think any record before 1992 should be scrapped 😂🤣

@@anewzim She was suspended for a whereabouts failure but then got it overturned. Drug tester allegedly showed up at the wrong address and couldn't find her. The Athletics Integrity Unit didn't agree with the decision being overturned and filed an appeal. I can't find the outcome of the appeal online. I hope she runs in Tokyo and maybe some day we'll see Naser, Miller and Mu in the same race.

@@vandrosia She missed 3 drug tests. Like you would.

Agreed! This is the true world record! Pérec was such a beautiful runner.

yep I reckon it was a bit fishy how she went home when at Sydney. Its almost like she was paid off to not compete. Freeman was prob the only silver medallist to light the olympic flame in Sydney 2000, she had to win a gold.

@@albagubrath6117 Uhm to be honest I dont think Perec could have beaten Cathy at Sydney. She havent competed for years. I doubted she could have outrun Cathy bcoz Cathy still did a solid 49 seconds, which is very fast.

@@albagubrath6117 Oh and also I wouldnt say Cathy is a silver medalist. She is a gold medalist material Olympian bcoz her time is still the 6th best in history, none of the girls since 1996 other than Perec have outrun her.

@@secrets.295 Naser and Miller-Uibo have run faster though.

She could say she had a hand in that Olympic record though

America Valerie Brisco did it in 1984. She was the first

@@smoothnubian Oh make that the three of them then

WRONG! See -- Valerie Brisco Hooks!

@@JohnDoe-yi4xd yes. Thank you.

@@smoothnubian I am sorry but boycotted games did not count.

The had to clear the way so freeman would have won..

Are you kidding- after 1996 she hardly ever raced the 400m, and never beat Freeman. She barely qualified for Sydney, Cathy went in unbeaten for 3 years and double world champion.

@@garrywallace1007 Perec was faster over both 400m and 200m than Freeman

Not in 2000 she wasn't! Not over 400m at least@@keithbate9405

@@keithbate9405 She was past her prime by 2000 and barely ran in the years 1997-2000 though. That is the point. That is why she withdrew from the Olympics, she was not in shape, semi retired already anyway, and wouldn't have done that well. She should have just retired before then instead.

Are you sure? She went to be coached by Wolfgang-Meier, notorious doper and husband/coach of Marita Koch (we all know about her). Plus she dipped out of many subsequent races claiming all sorts of things that were non-existent at the time. I hope she wasn't on dat Jamba juice but we all know what went on back then.

@@dmvbay2535 stop mixing faxts, rumors and time to fit your little scenario. French athletes are way more tested than others and she always came back clean.

true

@@xeggom7243 Are you really sure? I mean, 1) Leading up to the Summer Olympics in 2000, she was coached by Marita Koch's husband--Wolfgang Meier, whose long-standing world record in the 400 was drug assisted. (In 1991, German anti-drug activists Brigitte Berendonk and Werner Franke, were able to save several doctoral theses and other documents written by scientists working for the East German drug research programme. The documents list the dosage and timetables for the administration of anabolic steroids to many athletes of the former DDR, with one of them being Marita Koch. According to the sources, Koch did use the anabolic steroid Oral-Turinabol from 1981 to 1984 with dosages ranging from 530 to 1460 mg/year.) 2) In 2000 she fled Sydney claiming that she was in fear for her life following a security incident at her hotel. However, it emerged that the hotel has a number of security cameras, none of which recorded anything suspicious. My theory is that she feared that she was not yet in the clear. Hopefully I am wrong!

@@oerjanlothe2369 i’m sure you’re the type of guy claiming man has never gone to the moon...

@@poupoupidou3762 Hehe...No I am not into conspiracy theories.

Agreed

These were good runners who really worked hard...

Yeah, Freeman won the gold at Sydney with 49.12 seconds. 49.2 would hv been ridiculously close to the gold if it were 4 years later. I think 96 Atlanta was one of the best bunch of girls they have had for this particular events in recent memories.

When will break 47.60s and 48.25s

@@kongyut1638 The record set by Marita Koch was suspected of drug fraud. To be honest 47.60 is too good to be true especially at that time. When East Germany were crumbled. Some documents were retrieved and Koch was believed to have taken anabolic steroid called oral-turinabol.

@@secrets.295 😃Naser 48.14s Go to 47.14s😂

Pure poetry.

You do realize Perec is coached Koch's husband much of her career, and you think she is likely clean, LOL! I do think her sucess is atleast partly amazing technique and physique though too, unlike the East Germans.

Absodamnedloutly!!!!!!!!!!

@@rolandgreen7484 "is" coached ? Lol she retired long time ago. By the way she never run in the olympics with Koch's husband. From early 90s to 1993 she was with Jacques Piasenta, a French coach with whom she won her first World title (1991) and her first olympic title (1992). Best time 48.85 From 1994 to 1999, she was with John Smith and won the 1995 World title as well made the double 200-400 in Atlantla. Best time 48.25 She went to Koch's husband in her late career after several injuries when Smith had too many athletes to deal with for someone who needed particular care like her.

WVN 2016

@@efisgpr Yes. For women's, this is the best. Some of the all time best times were recorded here.

When will break 47.60s and 48.25s

Thank God no think (g)od

@@kongyut1638 the people who made those times were on drugs...

whats up with this race that it always gets taken down?

@@breeze9778 I believe it has to do with France's copyright laws with Perec in both races.

Copyright

you go girl!!!

The 48.25 and 47.60 times are BOTH suspect. Just sayin.

@@dmvbay2535 not the 48.25

@@JamesEllroy1 Both suspect.

@@dmvbay2535 Not the 48.25. That's the true record

@@RegisLEVY puhleese

Karen Lm, The also-rans also dreamed of Olympic glory, and worked just as hard !

Je suis tellement fière, Marie jo Perec est la meilleure. Merci à elle,

I think Shaunea Miller uibo is a better version M Jo

@@mouride4012 shaunae is 6'1''. Mary Jose is 5'11''. Let the Times speak for itself.

Salwa 5’5 and she’s faster then both at just 22. She’s gonna win tokyo gold for the 400m.

Majestic is the word!❤️

She was one 😅

Yes sure, without a bit of proof.

So true, and with Nigeria barely qualifying for event finals these days one begin to wonder where that 1996 quality and spirit came from. We just hope for better days ahead.

As long as Bobby Kersey is her coach, there is a high probability she can! He has a knack for pulling the absolute best out of those athletes!!

I dont know where you get that from. She has to work very hard to beat the other runners or she would have lost!!!!!

The longer the limb, the less leverage. It's a trade off. If what you say were true, every Olympic and World Championship final would be full of incredibly tall competitors. It's not true, though. Speed is about stride length and stride frequency. Stride length is about limb length but also power that propels you through the air on every stride. It's a lot harder to express that power at the end of a long limb. It's a trade off. Having longer limbs also decreases stride frequency. All the athletes have to be dramatically strong and explosive.

@@efisgpr That's a very rational argument. There are examples of long striding runners with relatively short legs. The 2 I'm thinking about are Kenenisa Bekele and Augustine Choge. Of course there are many others. Michael Johnson had long enough legs but a short stride but he was very fast anyway because his leg turnover was very fast.

Marie ran like a gazelle. I enjoyed watching her run.

Oh wow ! You witnessed my favorite 400m race ever ! :)

Cathy ran the race of her life here but Perec was on another level that day.

Everyone was out of breath and gasping for air minutes after the race....all except for Perec. Just sayin'.

Think it's fair to say that Syd has to beat this 'unofficial 48.25 WR' relatively quickly once she takes up the 400m properly to validate any 47.59 WR talk!

Well, she's moving closer after three competitions in 2023.

@@AllInTheGame01 48.74 ain't bad.

Yeah she’s banned from running 400 coz of her high testosterone
