Marita Koch Sets 400M World Record + Rare Interview - 1985 Canberra 

Because, apart from doping, (who wasn't?), she had the best tecnique, also in the men

Cause she's the queen

@@douglasraddi1428 talented but tainted as was flo jo .

@@wobblertv8083 doesn't matter. She still is the best all-around sprinter. She was a natural 400m runner, it's sad she used drugs but who didn't those years.

@@douglasraddi1428 Cause she cheated

Are You familiar with physics and a running start?

@@dirk143 what does that have to do with anything?

@@JacobParvin-vk3fb Has to do with your education.

Exactly, like Carl Lewis, Armstrong and others.

And if so, she never got caught or tested positive. On the other hand, comments like these are just not made for athletes such as Florence Griffith-Joyner.

@@vocadiamonds9151 Flo Jo too

@@MegaLorki 2

@@MegaLorki yes they are...

Underrated comment.

And same with the 800 m world record holder for women. Those two women have a very masculine looking appearance, And we’re clearly way ahead of the rest of the women, so obviously they had to have been on some thing

​​​@@drewblazecertifiedpersonal9788So by that thinking Sydney McClaughlin is on some serious dope. She's an old looking 21 year old. Juice ages you. You will see male bodybuilders who are in their 20s but look 15 to 20 years older. And actually look YOUNGER years later when they are no longer competing. I cannot believe Sydney McClaughlin is only 21. I thought she was late 30s early 40s when I first saw her. She looks as old as Beyonce who is 41. Thats telling me something.

@@fender1000100 Yup, very very good chance she's on the gear!

​@@drewblazecertifiedpersonal9788 When Marita smoked that world record the East German Doping Programme was at the zenith of success. There is a good idea of how much Marita was taking on her State Monitored dosage which was recovered by researchers. It appears she was doped with Oral-Turinabol (4-Chlorodehydromethyltestosterone) from 1981 to 1984 with dosages ranging from 530 to 1460 mg/year. The East German Athletes were told to take their "vitamins" as the State didn't want the athletes to know they were experimenting with their health. The Brilliance of the chemistry breakthrough was that typical androgenic effects (intense masculation were lessened somewhat). In Marita's sensational 400m her strength is fantastic and her recovery shows the power of the chemistry: she jogs. Sydney, for example, after her world record in the 400m hurdles was breathing very fast and could not get up for about five minutes. The East German drug was used by athletes from Ukraine, Russia and Belarus in 2008 and 2012 Olympics.

Shut up

No pun intended lmao

damals waren alle gedopt.

Nicht in der DDR……

DDR: Deutsche Doping Republik

😂😂😂

And actual men still run 400 meters 4,5 secs faster per average

Easily the fastest bodybuilder of all time.

If it was a man juiced to the gills, would we be making excuses?

I don't trust any world records, period.

I understand the doubts, I have them myself, but that means we also have to start questioning Mike Powell’s long jump record, set 31 years ago. And Usain Bolt’s 100m and 200m records are 13 years old and counting.

Do you have any concrete evidence to support your claim?

@@ash27slick74 there is plenty of evidence, Dr’s ,administrators,teammates. It’s well documented what East Germany was doing. It’s a dam shame because the younger athletes (teens) didn’t know what they were taken & many have health problems to this day.

Right!! Lol!

Yeah of course she was doped. But I would say nearly all outstanding track and field athletes were doped.

She would have run 46. seconds in 2021 on what she was on. Combining those drugs + better footwear, better tracks, better training and nutrition, and better coaching she might run a 45 high in 2021. Just look at how she’s dusting women who are also on crazy shit.

@@benthebull yeah wonder if it’s the same in long jump since no one comes close nowadays

@@Keenangoal because then they'll have to remove Flo Jo time of 100mtr too

I don't trust any world records from the 80's and early 90's and I definitely don't trust any world record still standing after 30 years

But that also has to do with the poor sports support in West- Germany. In GDR times you were recognized as a talent and then went to the Sports University.

They cleaned up the dope and the athletes became very average and it's still that way.

None! Same with German swimmers.

East europeans slowed up on the peds as the americans increased. Go figure.

@khkartc I has to do with the degeneration/genocide program started with a long-term agenda after WW2, which was enslaved over the Germans until today. You ever heard about Morgenthau-plan, Hooton-plan, Kalergi-plan, Kaufman-plan and the Nizer-plan. Their "fruits" finally blossom the last 10-15 years ... And btw. the so called East-Germany was Middle-Germany, because the real East Germany is Posen, Pommer, Ost-Preussen, Memelland, Sudetenland etc.. Betrayed with the "Schmachdictate of Versaille 1919' which led to WW" etc. And after 1990 there was also Katrin KRabbe and Gina Lückenkemper btw. at least.

don't forget Jarmila's 800s - all W's records from 100 to the 800

Flo jo was a rarity. Her mechanics and form are the things that set her apart!

Is Flo cheat Jo stills allive, these 2 records would be erased.

@@KnewYawkPapi that and the winstrol

@@KnewYawkPapi absolute horseshit, I watched chubby getting her butt beat flo turn into inch cut into her side flo in less than a year. I was next to her and started laughing when she finished her unveiling at Mt. Sac. Dave Laut ( a big time steroid user) and I had a big laugh with one of the other 100 metre girls, she looked at me and said I guess im never winning a race again.

Doping. Germans loved it at the time.

Agree....that WR time should be erased

@@alcoholica54 No it was a clock malfunction, if you clock the performance on your phone, it lasts 48.50, seconds from start to finish.

Every East German athlete was under the doping machine of the GDR. Marita Koch broke the record with huge amounts of testosterone derivatives in her body that were undetectable at the time thanks to the genius of the GDR scientists.

@@mm28778 they were also made pregnant and then to abort to increase strength, same as Serena before her last grand slam, she was pregnant.

Carl Lewis called out Ben Johnson and Lewis was more jacked than Barry Bonds

There is nothing to make us think Sydney is not natural. Koch was an East German white sprinter in the eighties. Incomparable cases.

@@nektarpanagiotis6707 jaw

This makes no sense. McLaughlin-Levrone’s best is 48.74, a great time, but the 25th fastest of all time. Koch, running 40 years ago has 5 of the fastest 9 times and her world record was late in her career and half a second better than any other time she ran and 0.4 better than anyone else has ever run.

@@robertvere2263 Hurdle record progression, my man, not 400 progression. Plus, look at Sydney's jawline. My guess is tren.

Ah. Yes, I was only thinking of the 400 flat. She and Bol are sure dominating the 400 hurdles.

Will you shut up !...Who cares ?....It's still the WR & the time to beat

None can run the the first 200 in 22.4 without redlining in a 400, most world class 200M do not run 22.4 sec in a whole season

She was 28. Jarmila Kratochvílová was 34 and a shell of her former self in this race.

She was 28. Around peak for 400 metre runner. Perfect conditions in Australia. Canberra landlocked, no wind. Agree on the juicing aspect but even without that, she was still superior. She just doesn't win by so far and hold a world record for 40 years that's all.

You mean while they are being genocided and not allowed to use the same drugs as Africans? Do you find it suspicious that Usain Bolt and two of his training partners, all under the same coach, swept the 200m medals at the 2012 Olympics or that Bolt set 4 world records one year after coming a distant second to known drug user Tyson Gay, one of which was disqualified because of the drug use of his slower teammate? How about Bolt being able to win races while joking with the guy in the next lane or slowing down to celebrate, reminiscent of Lance Armstrong taking a phone call in the middle of the Tour de France?

@@JohnSmith-yn9ie what drugs are Africans allowed to use. You got a point with the sweep.. but you derailed when you said Africans were allowed to use certain drugs that's crazy..

@@sinsin1697 EPO, among others, although in the last few years it must be getting easier to get or the drugs have improved or both, or micro dosing techniques have improved to optimize performance and avoid detection, because Europeans are starting to run a lot faster and break some records, bottom line, the only inherent advantage that Africans have in distance running is on average they have small legs muscles and thus carry less weight on their legs, but there are plenty of Europeans who have these features who could run just as fast with the same drugs and training

@@JohnSmith-yn9ie Wdym

@@JohnSmith-yn9ie Where are europeans starting to do well

for sure! shes not even tired at the end she keeps running! after a 400 m sprint you fall and die literally

Oh, do fuck off, fella! The "official" doping programme in East Germany didn't even start until 1974! That was a whole two years before the "official" doping programme started in West Germany - in time for the Olympic Games in Munich in 1972! Quite apart from the fact that only one single East German athlete was ever found to have doped - against all the US, UK and other nations' athletes who were found to have doped. MsG

Boring!!@

Can you prove that after all the cold war was on and the government wasn't averse to defaming those on the other side

McLaughclin sure can beat it, does that mean she is on testosterone derivatives?

Then she would look more like a man.

Previously record 47.99 sec with 1st edition world champion athletics '83

Vladykina was in lane 1…..

She is talking about the previos footage of the 200 m run.

Don't forget Florence griffith joiner.... Plus, there are many more American athletes who were juiced up...but we like to think it was just the East Germans

Nein--- Marita ist die beste aller Zeiten. Das bleibt 500 Jahre so.

She is the goat track and field woman falling behind only Lewis and Bolt

🤣🤣🤣

yeah they really do, they are a sham

@@2011hwalker I just noticed the women’s 4X400 record as well..

@@juniordiaz6445 Also from 1988 but almost broken this month in Paris by the USA team.

@@echo3434 Do you think this years USA team was a little sus? Maybe Sydney? 👀

These 2 ladies biggest dopers in racing history. Many many women are fastetcthan them

Yes because they were doped up to their eyeballs! These ‘records’ need to be removed from the record books!!

No but there if all these east Germans were doped to the gills. Why werent there MORE of them winning races by ridiculous margins. This is where the argument falls DOWN.

@@fender1000100 Yes, but they were selective with above the ordinary athletes and worked with them from there. ....Jarmila Kratoshvilova....come on!

What drugs did for them

The eastern bloc track athletes of the 1980s had the same testosterone levels as men in their early 20s. All the records from 100-800m are bullshit.

Don't forget the womens 800m record set in 1983 by Jarmila Kratochvílová. Not even she-man Castor Semenya ever came close to breaking that record.

You are so correct it is so sad that we know that performance enhancement drunk or using back then but of course with technology they can’t prove it Peter was able to get away with it then they quit resign or whatever and now it makes it hard for these athletes or legal to go get the best and they can’t even break a damn record

I don't trust any world records from the 80's and early 90's and I definitely don't trust any world record still standing after 30 years

That's true. She was just unlucky that the turnaround in the GDR came too late. Otherwise she would have become a superstar.

Let’s be real, Koch does not dip under 50 without drugs, that world record has a shot at 50 years to stand, and the German record will undoubtably last t least 80-100 years , unless the non indigenous German breaks it, that’s against rules of evolution of the human body and science Just stating the obvious

Don't forget Szewinska, her predecessor

Maritus Koch was a pretty good male athlete

Koch had a man's legs, it's so obvious to see. She was clearly on testosterone !

Good thing no one is clean 😂

@@crabb9966 Just because modern athletes dabble in some doping, they aren't THIS doped out. They are forced to microdose and time their usage to beat tests. Marita Koch had the benefit of just flooding the f*ck out of her veins with testosterone-based compounds virtually worry-free.

E il doping chiaramente

First remove all USA and West Europe record,bigest cheaters in World,and racist scum.

Steiner ain't going anywhere near this record.

Or American.

It's not good to stay happy all night

Did you train her?

@@TB-yx7pi yes, her and your mom

Her form is sloppy ? Lol riiiight.

Sloppy form? MK was widely regarded as having the best 400m that any commentators had seen.

Shut up

@@imanjordan3050 Doped, doped, doped and more doped.

USA DOPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@71ajax74 SOVIETY NAZIS LOOKED LIKED MEN!!!!!!

Sydney M Levrone could threaten it if she trained in the 400m for 2 years I think. She is that special an athlete

Including flo Jo's.

then Marita would have had a male voice. but it wasn't like that.

I agree but I’ve gotta say van niekerks 200m in his wr was also inhuman

@@blakefitz5382 and he was clean

Van Niekirk ran faster than that in his first 200 meter and the 2nd 200 meter. Both. But Koch was amazing certainly, even if not clean. Second place finisher from USSR was impressive too, closing on Koch all the way down the stretch.

And out of her head😄

@@YoREalDaddy lol

Right, but was powered down compared to her 1983 version. She only ran a 50.43 in that race - nearly 2.5 seconds slower than her fastest.

Thank you..corrected!

@@MyzelleJenkins No worry. Thank you for the video - love it !

Marlies Ghör era impresionante su velocidad

That relay team a long with the rest of the state sponsored Eastern Bloc were all on Turinabol 💉💦

And they still beat all the GIRLS lol

100% true. Oral T is 50 years old therefore it's stupidity to think that 'something better' hasn't been available since then. One only needs to look at the sprint times of the 35-36 yr old Jamaican (whose name escapes me at the time of writing), in fact, one only needs to look at the times of all the Jamaican women. Fact is - dope or no dope MK is on a totally different planet over 400m. Greatest sprinter of all time and the only athlete, male of female, to have broken WRs at 50m, 60m, 100m, 110yds, 200m 220yds, 300m (her clocked time over the 1st 300m of this race is still the unoficcial WR) 400m, 4x100m and 4x400m. Total legend.

Have to agree. It's a level playing field. The best are the best.

haha are you mental? Sydney M Levrone is so clearly a better athlete. Look at the times Sydney was running in high school versus Kochs sham late career spurt when she was taking hard core steroids. The eastern bloc athletes in the 1980s werent being subtle they were 'blasting' roids and thus their records are miraculously still unbroken.

@@2011hwalker The east Germans ran a doping program that hundreds of athletes were a part of. Where are all their untouchable records that have lasted decades? They don't seem to be anywhere outside of Koch and Jarmila Kratochvílová. Two of the best female running talents ever. If you wish to make the argument that the drugs were alone were responsible for their times, rather than standard drug use of the time combined ALSO with greatness, then you must contend with why the hundreds of other athletes in the east German doping program who were also blasting steroids didn't also put up untouchable records. And no, Sydney is a great athlete. But she is not as great of an athlete as Marita Koch. If you put Sydney in Marita's time with Marita's training technology and science available her times would be even further behind.

We seem to assume it was Eastern European athletes on drugs ... but the Americans were equally guilty . East German coaching was, however, some of the best in the world ... even without drugs..

Bullshit

Super dopata!

Una fucina di campioni dopati al 100%!

Mi risulta che a seul, mi pare ,ci fosse una atleta americana che nei 100 m. volava più dei maschi .....😄😄😄 . Comunque il doping era ed è in uso secondo me in america,in Italia ,in europa non meno che in ddr..vi ricorda niente armstrong ? O pensate che gli americani fossero 'cherubini'?

@@antonioieraca4102 si può darsi ma era una nella ddr tutte!

Alessio Ferrari come puoi pensare che i dopati dell' est fossero in massa e quelli d' Italia o degli stati uniti fossero mosche bianche..rifletti e vedrai che supererai questa visione manichea per cui il marcio e il diabolico sta da una parte .. dall' altra invece tutti francescani !
