Top 10 Fastest Women's 400 Meter Sprinters In The World 

They would not go on 400 meters, they will go on 400h

así mismo nos vemos en paris

based on times now. she has not gone sub 49

@@fithealthyme101 aint no body talking bout now when you got 1981s in the video

@@Horace-ko9gt everybody in the video faster than her

Clearly she wasn’t one of the fastest 10 women ever. This is a list based purely on times. There are literally 14 people outside the top 10 that have faster times than her.

At 400 m, all-time she is # 25. Only at 200 m she is in the top 10, more specifically at # 8. As a sprinter, Alyson Felix is overrated. US media simply overhyped her.

She did not. She left after prep school ( elementary) and went to the US. She never ran for jamaica.

It is 100 percent a dash. You must not run track.

Thats why they don't participate now? We know their history.

So does FloJo

She was clean. Even her autopsy was clean. We do not know if the Soviets were clean.

Not one of these 10 women had to give back any medals or was tested positive. Only Naser was banned due to missed doping tests. The creator of this video has mentioned all of the doping allegations etc. and what "soviet team"? There was only one soviet runner on this list... Have you even watched the full video? I am not saying they weren't doped. They were but let's not be naive here: There is not a single woman who ran under 49sec that was not doped! And probably not a lot of women who ran sub 50 who were not doped... Track & Field is one of the dirtiest sports of all times! And it still is today like it was in the 70s and 80s. Today the athletes have just to be more creative to hide the doping. And out of a bunch of very talented but doped 400m runners these women were still the best and the fastest of their sport whether we like it or not... Also the athletes from East Europe were forced, blackmailed and pressured into being doped, many did not even know what they were getting by the doctors and were probably too scared to ask. But what are the excuses of all the doped athletes from nations that were not totalitarian regimes but were still doped and being put on pedestals?

This list is straight out of the official website of international track and field (world athletics). If they are on that website, then these are recognized times. Some (the Eastern European runners) probably doped but were never caught.

If you are going to resort to speculation and Wikipedia, I think Sprint Spotlight should think twice before including athletes like Steve Ovett, Paula Radcliffe and Yvonne Murray, when it comes to making videos of events they competed in. As they appeared pale, sickly, had bad form, but, somehow, managed to run spectacular times. They also ran dubiously slow times or dropped out at important international meets. As if they were too weakened by the training regimen, substances used, foods eaten, etc., leading up to those meets.

See his not great in 400m

shaunae miiler is the greatest

She's not top ten

⁠@@gladstone3478Allyson Felix was/is one of the greatest 400m runners but her talent at the distance was never fully realized. She ran 49.26 in 2015, making her the 17th fastest of all-time when she ran it (now 24th). During her prime, her focus was primarily the 200m but her relay splits made it evident that she had immense potential in the 400m. She ran multiple sub-49 splits and her run at 2015 WC (47.72) makes her the third fastest female of all time in that regard-personally, I think those other times are suspicious af.

@@ImagineJoyy U cannot count relay splits

Flo Jo was also in the 80s

@@bhookhun Kathy Cook, Merlene Ottey and Valerie Brisco were also in the 80s!

Britton Wilson also broke that indoor record while still in college. Just FYI: Koch has the outdoor WR (47.60) and Bol is no way near that *yet* as her current outdoor pb is 49.44. Also, indoor times do not always perfectly translate to outdoor times but yes, she (like Britton Wilson who also does hurdles) has great potential.

​@@ImagineJoyy Reality check nr. 1: Britton Wilsons PB indoor is still HALF A SECOND SLOWER than Bol's WR. Reality check nr. 2: I have compiled a combined list with the result scores from World Athletics on the 400 flat after the year 2000 (I left Salwa Eid Naser out because of her doping): 1-2eq. Femke Bol: 1272 Points (49.17, World Record, INDOOR) 1-2eq. Shaunae Miller-UIBO: 1272 Points (48.36, OUTDOOR) 3. Britton Wilson: 1260 Points (49.48, INDOOR) 4. Sanya Richards-Ross: 1258 Points (48.70, OUTDOOR) 5. Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone: 1257 Points (48.74, OUTDOOR) 6. Marileidy Paulinho: 1256 Points (48.76, OUTDOOR)

@@rientsdijkstra4266 yup and I still said what which were facts-just like what you just shared. You coming off real defensive like I said something untrue or disrespectful. #stanlikebehavior #tryachillpill 😉

@@ImagineJoyy Nope, just wanted to change your typical American perspective. By the way I did not see the "yet" in your text. Fact is that Femke Bol delivered a great performance by being one of the first to break one of the "unbreakable" Eastern European WR's. Something that is systematically underestimated by American commentors.

Please be aware that indoor event get more point because it it short track and some events are not contested there but until Bol can transform that indoor form on the outdoor track then we will consider her one of the greats

Don't be sorry - read more, gather information and make a clear case. Wikipedia is not the best source for information.

@@gaelgarciabernal2434 ?? You do not know what research I have done, and I was simply registering my point of view, which is perfectly legitimate. I don't need to marshal the evidence and "make a case" for a YT comment. If you care to do such in your comments, fine.
