Gail Devers wins the gold medal in the women's 100m event at the Barcelona 1992 Olympic Games.
The event was extremely close as 5 women finished within a space of 0.06 seconds to create a nail-biting finish.
A true champion, Yolanda Gail Devers' track success came after years of misdiagnosed health problems. The American failed to qualify for the 1988 South Korean Olympics games in Seoul due to symptoms of an enlarged thyroid caused by an undiagnosed condition. After suffering with severe headaches and blurred vision, Devers lost 23 pounds of body weight before finally being correctly diagnosed with Graves' disease in 1990. Two years of healthy training followed, enough to win gold at the Olympic Games in Barcelona.

The 100m dash wasn't even her main event. She was a hurdler. Plus she had some sort of muscle disease. OMG!! A true champion.
Graves disease
She had the 100 hurdles won if she didn’t clear the last hurdle.
The main thing I remember bout this race is that the first five finishers all ran under 10.90. Very close.
Yea .
Best race
Watched her growing up and she is a true track phenom! I'm blessed my track runners have her to look up to. I call my youngest Gail Devers when she is on the track!
Ayanna Williams I know her and her daughter
Gail Devers is, she was the reason I started watching Women's Track & Field!🏆😍🍫💘
Gail Devers just held on for the gold medal. An elegant, stylish sprinter. Beautiful.
Nice. I love Gail Devers, and remember this race from way back when I was young. Fantastic finish.
Gail Devers - truly a talented, class act - then and now. The pride of San Diego & Sweetwater High School!! She always brought it.
God-awful use of music on these films. Commentary would be better, or just a clean feed of the crowd noise
Crowd Noise totally
Cheers
I agree wholeheartedly.
Yeah, why is this music here…
I actually happen to like the music.
Gail Devers and SAFP remind me of one another. SAFP and Devers had a similar explosive starts they also had pretty similar frames.
Gail Devers was the greatest female track athlete of the 1990s, for me.
Truly, u was given a star from the heavens. What strength and determination. Great inspiration
This is amazing! She actually went to my school when she was younger, and now she works there part time! So I almost get to see her everyday! This is also only because her daughter goes to my school.
Gail and that famous LEAN! ❤🎉
Beautiful.
ever since Flojo I can't help but notice how beautiful the track and field women are.
Evelyn Ashford still G.O.A.T. tho!
They always have been
You just noticed? They've always been fine! It's a hard pressed toss up between female track runners and professional or ballet dancers, and gymnasts. All heck, they're all Beautiful! Check it Out! Ciao!!!
Don't know about yall but there ain't nothing more beautiful and sexier than watching women sprinters!
My Idol❤️🙏🏽🔥💯
That's how a race should be run, it means that everyone has trained so hard for that final, they are all 100th's of seconds apart 🎉
Gail Devers is absolutely awesome, one of the best…Great Win!!! I’m a HUGH track & field fan. Based on what I know, Merlene Ottey (I’m a BIG fan of) is the one that brought Jamaican FEMALE (Sprinters) to the forth-front. I believe she ran in 4 Olympic Games for Jamaica...Yeah, if only:-)
+Beck C. Actually she ran in 5 Olympics for Jamaica 1980 - 1996.
Cornell Stephenson, thanks a bunch for much a Very Important Correction. ..She is one of the GREAT track & field history makes.
+Cornell Stephenson Actually 6... She ran in Sydney in 2000... :)
She ran in the olympics from 1980 till 2004, so that's 7 games
Ok. Here is the summary: She ran 6 for her native country of Jamaica. In 02 became a citizen of Slovenia in 04 and represented them in (Athens) her 7th olympic appearance.
Jamaica 🇯🇲 Jamaica 🇯🇲
tell me the name of the song please
Loves me some Gail Devers.
I remember at Track meet she pulled up to the event I believe it was LA for Junior Olympics. She signed my shoes I used to run for a track team in San Diego named Mercury Track and Field.
Music?
I remember telling my friends in middle school I was in love with Gail and they never knew who she was!! Lol 😂 They wanted TLC, SWV, Gina or Pam
😂👍
Name of music, please?
Gail who I love still...great woman and inspiration to a MAN!!!!!
I went2 high school w Nadine Faustin. I'm 2 years older. She was lightning. Great woman2.
I'm here4 Gail though
Merry X-mas and 2020 to all
FANTASTIC!!! Can someone tell me the name of the "song" with this wonderful race? Absolutely wonderful race. Thank you for posting.
America is a continent and Jamaica is the best. So yes America is always the best.
she went to my highschool, the ghetto of san diego looking pretty strong 💪
the best Olympic final ever
Privalova my favorite ... if only she had a good start like usuall....it was hers
also Gwen .. i love her
whats with the loud music ?
So glad US won still
I love this woman
I love this race... our ladies did not win but it was great competition. I would like to meet all these ladies in one place. I have met Cuthbert already....would be great to meet Gwen Torrence...a real fierce competitor" I used to remember the actual times ...let me try to guess them 10.82, 10.83, 10.84 10.86, 10.87
Besides being great, I just always remember how after each victory she wouldbleap up and straddle coach, Bobby Kersey. I always wondered how his wife, Jackie Joyner Kersey felt about that. She was definitely secure in herself. Check it Out! Ciao!!!
1:01 one of the reasons you don't see coaches track side anymore. Great coach, but craved the spotlight. It' supposed to be about the athletes.
1st, she ran to him, not the other way around. 2nd, her coach was Bob kersee (if you are too young, or stupid, to not know who he is, look him up). 3rd. he didn't "crave the spotlight" since everyone, at the time, already knew who he was and what his reputation was as a coach. (See #2).
+Jessie Colt Of course I know exactly who he is, that's why I said what I did. Husband of Jakie Joyner, brother in law to FloJo, currently coaching Felix, Tarmoh, and Harper to name a few (if you don't know their first names, look it up.) And what does her running to him have to do with him hogging the camera, here and at other events? Or are you too young or too stupid to realize this wasn't the only time?
+Jessie Colt and to imply the spotlight wasn't craved because everyone already knew who he was is the conclusion of a complete simpleton.
ranhill (I'M NOT WRITING THIS FOR YOU BUT FOR THE PPL WHO READ YOUR COMMENT, SO THEY WON'T BE DECEIVED BY YOUR MISINFORMATION) I remember perfectly... Bobby was the one that helped Gail through her Graves disease and talked her into taking her beta blockers even though it stopped her from qualifying for trials, rules the committee later changed... He also picked her up in love when her feet were busted and bleeding, and she was shut in her house, much like he did that day. His exuberance is a testament to what they'd( ALL OF THEM) endured the year bf when they almost lost Gail! Bobby's a great coach and your sheer disdain is unfounded.
Ranhill: So what's the deal with football, basketball, gymnastics,, volleyball, figure skating, soccer, etc? Is it STILL just about the athlete.
Americal always is the best in fast running..
Devers' performance worth 10.75 in still conditions - such a pity they didn't have a generous legal wind behind them.
Wouldn't have been as close, but not a good start for Gail. Gutted it out, though.
true. but isn't that like saying, it wouldn't have been as close if she wasn't so fast?
CHEETAH69
IMHO not really.
+pnutbutrncrackers actually yeah. this is a race. how are you gonna posit a scenario where an entire important part of a runner's race was taken out and suggest a new ending? Why not say, "The race would have been different if Gail didn't have feet?"
CHEETAH69
Because the point that you are missing is that something ATYPICAL happened in this race. Devers got off to a poorer start than usual. And this unusual element made the race closer than it normally would have been. Your suggested parallel about someone having no feet is really no parallel to the situation here at all (unless the feet fell off during one particular race).
+pnutbutrncrackers aaaaaahhhh. No. I misunderstood your initial statement. I thought you were saying "It wouldn't have been as close if she didn't have that good start."
I always liked her
name of the music
Love her so much-needed 😢she 😅, Gail I saw your film.
Should have been three 🥇 gold medals. Could not tell who won
It's so amazing how back then "drive phase" did not exist! ROFL
Even on Flo Jo's 10.49 OR, she stood straight up out of the blocks. Could anyone imagine the times these women would've run if they had the training and technology we have today?!? They were beasts! 10.8 standing straight up out of the blocks with the acceleration (MV) stage starting like instantaneously and dying off by like 30M in!
Gail Devers doesn't care about a drive phase. I guess that is from hurdling where they have to be upright from the get go and be gunning.
Anyone know the name of the song
Darude - Sandstorm
Honestly. How can they hear the gun go off with all the music playing?
@HotMessMemories1 You ain’t never lied!
Who else is here after watching her movie? 🖐️
Tightest race ever. Photo finish with three runners
but that THE song with the Yolanda be cool :(
anyone have video on 400 meter semifinals 92 barcelona
Don't you have geography subject in high school? America refers to the whole land discovered or rediscovered by amerigos vispuchi and now called american continent which is divided as Latin america and north america where canada and u.s. of a. belongs. correct me if wrong.
her coach
Gail devers goes at Patrick elementary school
the days of photo finish races before the likes of bolt lol
This was when Gwen Torrence made accusations of two of the medalist being on performance enhancement drugs, in Gail Devers camp Bob kersee was pulling a campaign to quit Gwen Torrence out of the Olympics (those games) as well as Juliet Cuthbert of Jamaica the Silver Medalist,also had comments about Torrence accusing Devers and povalovo of Russia, on Torrence behalf she stated I never mentioned the names( smart) over and over I never mentioned the names,, thumbs up to Gwen Torrence, I never mentioned the names......... Go USA 2017 World Championships
Some agreed with Gwen Torrence than and now. Any runner associated with Bob Kersee is suspect in my opinion.
Go USA
If drug testing didn't exist, we wouldn't know who Gail was.
88 and 92 Olympics were the Performance Enhanced Games. Never been clean since..
Both her Olympic 100m golds 92 & 96 there was literally nothing in it.
wow it by a hairbow..
lol no drive phase
Gail smoked them
She is cute here. who is she huggins, second husbend?
Torrence, bad start. She would've had it
Best lean in the game. Incredible race. Bobby Kersee was hyped af. Lol
No chance now with he/she’s on the track
Man this was a really close race though impossible to tell the winner by just watching. I thought the white girl might have won at first.
That's Privalova. The WR holder in the 60m to this day.
Okk
WOW
Boxeo mundial
Boxeo mundial
Black excellence
Wrong! America is a country just as Jamaica is...North America is the Continent.
Jamaica all the way clean
Asafa Powell?? Pls watch and learn
UCLA product. Go Bruins!!
Her lipstick though.. Yuck
anabolic steroids
I don't want to take credit away from her.However,I am not convinced that American sprinters are clean especially after the Marion jones,Lance Armstrong,justin gatlin and many others who were drug cheats.
I think US is the first country in the world whose athletes started taking steroids and now the rest are catching.
wow that doesn't mean we all cheat just because we win don't mean we are on steroids.
East Germany was first, be more informed
Nitin Sharma And what about the Jamaican now? EVERYBODY is taking something now including the great ones now.
Nitin Sharma There have been plenty of athletes from other countries who were caught cheating. Why don't you do a lil research and see for yourself.
You Must be young because your clueless when it comes to sports and steroids
LoL. That's not from the Olympics of Barcelona 1992. Because then Devers was wiping the teren with her face while the Greek runner Patoulidou was finishing first. I gues you americans had to lie about this like you lie about everything. If you can't win, cheat, if you can't cheat, lie.... Typical.
I'm wondering if it was only Gail D taking part in the race. Bcaz noone else was introduced or anything. Not nice at all... :(
This was the very first Olympics that I attended at it was absolutely off the charts!! Being in that stadium was like nothing I had experienced before.
Name of music, please?
The glamour girl of women's athletics. A true champion too.
Music, pls!?
Gail Devers is one of my favorites. Love her
Well its all Gail here but Juliet Cuthbert second place from Jamaica executed a fine race.....Jamaica has always looked for a male or female to win the 100m at the Olympics but they had to wait until 2008 The Year of Delivery even Gail said it was the Jalympics nothing can be taken away from Jamaica now they have stood the test of time waiting patiently for their champions to emerge and it has started. We host the biggest High School championships in the World where athletes from all high schools emerge for Championship honours, all of today's dominating athletes emerged from this Championship held yearly this year its 104 years old....omg we waited so long Our time to REIGN now
DARIO VANHORN Enjoy it while it lasts...
ranhill you have stricter drug control methods. thus our reign will b a long one
Yeah if only we had Jamaica's we could start sneaking in more cheats like Campbell-Brown, Powell and Simpson.
this video is about Gail. you made it all about jamaica. lol
@@smoothnubian exactly
Her starts were the stuff of legend.
What is the music name
Name of music, please?
Have to disagree i think 4 people won that race

Amazing athlete. 😊 I've remembered watching these two AMAZING sistas, Gail Divers and Gwen Torrance. Black Excellence. ✊🏿✊🏿👏🏿👏🏿😊❤
Watching in 2024. 🎉
The music is absolutely fantastic.

The music is awful.
Подскажите песню пожалуйста, пробовал искать программой - не находит.
Name of music, please?
Gwen Torrence was a very good sprinter too, but on this day, it belonged to Gail.
