Andrew Valmon and Steve Lewis always ran relay legs like their life depended on it. Clutch
Steve Lewis is a DAWG!!!
The Redmon injury and having his father finish the race with him, that was a true moment of inspiration in Olympic history. That was very touching and inspiring because it became about much more than a race!! 🙌
Steve Lewis was really flying...
Can't get enough, watching this 🙌🙌
Us melanated people are just soo powerful! I love this! Set a world and Olympic record.
Great spirit of sportmanship
2 southern California CIF runners Steve Lewis and Quincy Watts
UCLA and USC respectively. Also, both coached by John Smith.
@@Sargebri - The same John Smith who coached Maurice Green and Otto? I had no idea.
If Johnson had not been suffering from food poising they would have probably been a second faster
I'm surprised his conditioning was good enough for him to still run. They smartly had him on the 3rd leg tho, where the slowest runner usually is
2 seconds faster! Michael only ran 44.8 split. Not fast by his standard. If healthy he would’ve easily ran sub 44 like Quincy and Steve
Johnson ran a sub 43 second leg a year later. So your right about the team being faster.
Conservatively Michael Johnson Healthy runs 43.80 Relay leg they run 2:54:7 near the later World Record of Andrew Valmon , Quincy Watts , Butch Reynolds and Michael Johnson in 2:54.2 , Johnson running the first Relay leg under 43.00 seconds , Quincy Watts 43.3 , Butch Reynolds 43.2 and Andrew Valmon 44. 5 opening leg , still my favorite event
This was awesome
Michael Johnson wasn’t sure if he was going to run this, if he had have withdrawn would Kevin Young have been picked in his place?
That was a super expression by his Dad!
44.5, 43.1 44.8, 43.4 ..
...and Wade Van Niekerk was born July 15, 1992.
Roger Black Biggest bellend move in Olympic history with his baton taunting.
It was ridiculous how much press Derek Redmond received for injuring himself and hopping around the track. More people remember him getting injured than they remember Quincy Watts winning the race.
Exactly Quincy Watts is one of the best 400m runners ever, and few people remember his name smh
I forgot all about Redmond. I followed Quincy Watts b/c after he ran that 43.1 I thought he was going to smash the individual 400m WR before the next Olympics.
Quincy Watts ran with high knee lifts
Derek Redmond still moves me
Crazy thing is-I’m watching this again, on the day Derek Redmond’s father passed away (10/6/2022) at age 81….
Yesh they kicked our butts but we stomped their asses🤣🤣🤣🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸
I find it slightly odd that in 27 years the US haven't come within a second of the current record (disregarding 1998) despite how good 400 running has been in that country, maybe 4 haven't come along at the same time since..
Maybe in Tokyo 2021 with Micheal Norman, Fred Kerley, Raj Benjamin and Micheal Cherry.
Interrupted by the "war on drugs" our best athletes for 20 years were either incarcerated or a victim of violence. Ametica eats her young not see them to greatness. Were just getting back on track literally with this generation not being as affected by our governments policy.
2008 they broke the Olympic record set in 1992.
@@reginaldm6260did not they just broke the Olympic record
Where Jamaica?
I don't know about 1992, but since I started watching track, I've never really seen good Jamaican 400m runners
Irie
They are usually deeper in the 4x100 and not so much in the 4x400
when people were proud to b american
Most still are, just expect better, as they should
@@ellen9925 - Exactly what you wrote.
Great race for the USA. But, This is the worst televised 4 by 400 meters I have ever watched. How can the tv screen turn just to the winners and cut off the rest of the other teams while the race was still in progress! Wow. JMO
Derrek Redmond got selfish. Could have got a repeat relay gold after the world Championships.
Explain in more detail?
@@chicnoir29 at the Tokyo World Athletics Championships in 91 in the 4x400m relay England had defeated the US. Redmond, Black, Akabusi and Regis. They could have repeated that effort and got a sure gold. But Redmond participated in the individual 400m and this happened. He was the fastest Brit, but not fast enough for an individual medal.
