Women's 4 x 100m Relay - 1997 World Championships 

@Prins Ricky stfu

I couldn't agree more! I met her as a teenager. She and Jackie Joyner Kersey were really encouraging to mu track teem in East St. Louis.

Exactly. Doctors said she wouldn’t… she said “hold my Olympic gold medal please, and watch.

Did they keep the gold medal from this even though the USA had MJ running.

No marion jones was drug not gold they usa not won there no list.Marion was jail by her husband faul.Jamaica won gold leader that why bad news damn .

OMG. I love Gail Devers.

Legendary but jinxed at the Lympics as clear fave for 100m hurdles

Totally agree

Facts! I’m so sad she had issues in the Olympics, as, she deserves gold in that event, if nothing else!

Yea Gail made the hurdles made everybody watch that race

She’s always one of the greatest female sprinters, ever! She and SAFP have a very similar running style, and they’re both running fast times at ages much older than others. She still ran a sub 7-second 60M in her 30’s…that’s unheard of! Amazing woman!

@@stevie586 Yup..she was great, but SAFP have surpassed her and left her FAR behind now. There is no comparison. They don't sit t the same table anymore!💥

@@enigmaticgenius7717 I disagree with you! So much time has gone by and of course people are much faster today due to training, diet, track technology, shoe technology, etc. However, Ashford was far more dominant than SAFP! Let’s not forget, she had not one, but TWO world records…something SAFP has never had. Also, something folks need to understand about people like SAFP…she is a championship runner. In other words, SAFP loses races tons, then wins the championships. Evelyn simply always won her races, then turned around and won the championships as well. Obviously, SAFP had more medals (which is another thing…Ashford was robbed of ability to race some events due to political reasons and boycotting), but, I believe you need to think again with your claims, because Ashford is one of the absolute greatest in history.

@@stevie586 go get a brain 🧠... Da fck you are refuting points i never made? #LogicalFallacy!😂 SAFP is GREATER then Gail and that other you've interjected! Why do you argue without basis? You are using speculation against facts...things that actually happen! If I did not break my leg when I was 12 being the top prospect in my country, I would be the greatest soccer player ever with all this technology and training...😂🤭 Just stfu forever, please!👌

The Flash!

Duh, she fine asf. One of the finest sprinters of all time!!

Let's also appreciate that none of these women are wearing weave or lashes...just pure cocoa beauty.

@@t.w.8174women are running with lashes and weaves and running faster. It doesn’t affect their craft at all. Let’s not use a comment complementing black women to disrespect them.

No ,jamaica take gold won bec j.m ad woman was drug fast run that she in jail hard accpet.They usa not leader there no list honset bad news dang sad

You know very well nobody knew they came in second. They were way behind US.

Long time..sprint factory!

Weak!!!!!!

State run media

You damn right. That's the way to do it.

You will find this information in the description, where I have listed the name of each runner for each team.

That would be the PEDs.

@@johnq2068 the hair

Yes. Here you go. Enjoy m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5kd6SLgVqqI.html

I believe she had switched her training efforts at this point to focus on her chances in the 400, but I may be wrong.

Thigh injury from the indoor season caused her to miss the rest of 97.

If you think about each team is like that each country is most likely focused on their team

@@ashcash170ify that is NOT the case AT ALL if you watch ANY thing on here in any sports covered by either Aussie's or the Brits, but ESPECIALLY the Australian coverage. NO BIAS AT ALL, EVEN THE SPECTATORS IN SYDNEY OLYMPICS THEY ARE SUCH THAT IF SAY AN UNDERDOG FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY EITHER MEDALS OR WINS AND ITS AN UPSET, THEY ARE TRULY and genuinely happy for them.

@@Parker528 this was the era of American dominance in most sports globally. It’s only normal they focus on what their fans came to see.

Cause it wouldn't matter?!

She sustained an injury during the 200m final a few days earlier.

Yes usa lost gold they crying sad .jamaica won they happy won

Not in this race. She lost all medals dating after 2000.

Nope she got a ban from year 2000 not before

I.m just thinking the same thing.

Yes jamaica won .Usa lost bec marion was drug full bad news.they team usa was crying lost not won me saw full oh lord very sad

@@stacy-annwilson6110 this was before she began doping

Yeah facts

@@stacy-annwilson6110 as I read your comment my mind went back to my high school days where I experience something similar..... this shouldn't be a surprise to me! Myself and two other girls were always placed 1st, 2nd. & 3rd whenever we do distance running. One year the school team when to St. Thomas to do cross country. I was placed 3rd. To my disbelief, disappointment and all the other emotions, only the young lady who was placed first was highlighted in devotion that morning, as if all the other points didn't count for the school to win. I will never forget it!

No way Ottey makes up that gap.

@@wymple09 Ottey had plenty chances to be great. Shame that she didn't. Certainly not on this day.

When have Marlene ottey came back from behind on a relay in a major competition to win... That woman ran for about 50 years literally.. I can't think of a major competition that she had to come back and win for Jamaica help me out and I'm very serious

Yep that's wishful thinking

@@Haraka111 Interesting you do not mention how Ottey was run down by Miss Torrence, Flo Jo and Miss Devers. She never won a gold metal at an Olympics. Served 2 suspensions for PHD’s. Granted she was an outstanding sprinter. Unfortunately the Americans were better.

That only happened once and that was the first time she anchored in 93 Other than that she was the backstretch

Agreed! Unfortunately Torrence was just about done by 1997

Cuz come 1999 Worlds and 2000 games Gail was gonna be backstretch but Marion hurt at Worlds and Gail at Games

Totally agree.no slight to Gail she's cool but I always preferred Gwen Torrence' running style and ability more

Merica! Biased how though? Americans were light years ahead of the competition.

I was Always amazed by her nails 😍

@@eliskarahmani4116 I think her nails are dangerous if you approach her...

no, they were not

No they weren’t lol everything she did from 2000+ was disqualified

@@jessi9775 I could be wrong but, one thing that came out of the BALCO probe was that Marion was doping since her high school basketball days? she was still a 🐍 by not admitting to all her doping, which allowed her to keep her "best" performances from '97 - '99. In fact 3 of the 4 on this team were implicated to doping offenses in later cases. #NoDecency

Christie Gaines was a druglady too.

@@NevaUndaPressure I am not surprised.
