Without doubt the greatest last leg EVER in a relay by Eckert. Blitzed it.
Steroids..
Eckert was definitely on the DDR vitamins program. But she came through when she had to with 2 golds at both Montreal and Moscow.
@@ccampbell9176 She was
strong!!
She was "Blitzed" alright, on the zoom-juice 😉
The woman in lane 8 looks like she crossed first. More of her body is over the finish line in the slo-mo pics.
yep the gdr (east germany) in lane 8 won
AUS Barbara Wilson, Debbie Wells (15yo), Denise Robertson-Boyd, Raelene Boyle.
AUS were lucky to make the final as in the heat Boyle asked her friend Andrea Lynch (GBR) 'how many go through to the final?'. Lynch said (incorrectly) 'first four' and so Boyle coasted. It was 'first three and fastest losers' but AUS managed to scraped through.
They would have medalled (and Wells would have been the youngest of all time) if drug testing was more competent back then.
USA had both Ashford and Cheeseborough and came in 7th? They were both very young but still hard to believe.
Yeah, good point. relays are tricky, in Munich European Championship 2022 both the two favorites France and Great Britain made a mistake and German team won.
traumhafte Erinnerungen!
Back when the top teams were "rewarded" with the two crappiest lanes (lane1 and lane8). Sucks to watch a fight to the end with lane1 and lane8. Thank goodness we will never see this again in our lifetime.
I think through FRG WERE 2 metres up on the final change. Blinding run by Eckert!!
Storming last leg by Eckert, must have been 2m down at the change. Good to see Marlies Gohr on the 1st leg, my all time favourite.
Wow, that is cool, your track knowledge from back in the day.
She was a drugs cheat, they all were.
So finally who won? I thought the GDR.
@@hoagey1580
Who wasnt
Revenge for Munich, 4 years bevore
2:09 - the director got it wrong - east germany (lane 8) won not west germany.
Unfortunately, the U.S. did not have a strong women's team between the 1968 and 1984 games.
The Europeans were simply bigger, stronger and better prepared!
The USA lost a medal chance with having older long jumper Martha Watson run the leadoff in place of injured Brenda Morehead...they just were about two meters down the whole way...Chandra Cheeseborough didn't do much on the last leg, but she was only 17!
miloandtock1 i went to college with brenda morehead and Chandra.. They ran a 42.3. Once in a reley.
OH
Oh
@@themoors4563 Never. Their best time together was 42.91A from Mexico City at the Pan Ams in 1975. The USA record was 42.8. Morehead had already retired when the record was broken in 1982.
@@waynehentley4332 Moorehead/Cheeseborough never ran 42.3 together in a relay, Cheeseborough did have the fortune to be on that fabulous 83 relay when they beat GDR at the dual meet in LA w/41.63, and of course the 84 Oly relay gold. The US relay record was 42.87 from the 68 Oly Games, and then was nipped in 81 World Cup by Ashford-anchored foursome with Brown-Bolden-Griffith. It got chopped down a couple times in 82 w/o Evelyn in GDR dual meets.
Marjorie Bailey of Canada ran a wonderful anchor for Canada she actually overtook Raelene Boyle on the anchor leg.
That was a blistering anchor leg for Canada. They overtook Australia and Jamaica.
Jamaica 6th
USA 7th
Wow, how the tables have turned. These two countries now DOMINATE womens sprints.
and Australia who often punched above their (then) 15 million weight now has all its kids either playing football or on the computer. Not a sprinter in sight (except for Sally Pearson who would rather hurdle than be a so-so international sprinter)
Because in Europe tests are totally strict now. Only britains, jamaicans, americans can dope freely
Drugs, all drugs. America and Jamaica are never again tested after Griffith-joyner and Carl Lewis. They are the biggest cheaters
The USA was prominent, and dominant, in women's sprinting way before 1976, and with Sub Saharans, and whomever else. Wyomia Tyus, Wilma Rudolph, and so on. And they would be again.
@@jonglewongle3438
Sub Saharans. Lol. This American Nazi thinking has spoiled the world
GOOD RUN!
A young Jackie Pusey anchoring for ja; Lileith Hodges start, Rosey Allwood, Carol Cumming?.
young Jacqueline on anchor,I know merlin wished she had stayed around till the 84 olympics
Pusey never developed the raw speed for a sub 23 sec. 200m nor the endurance for a 50 sec. 400m. Her shocker 200m time of 23sec. at 15 years old from 1975 was hand timed. It must have been closer to 23.50 automatic.
That 1st lane anchor should be fired
I am totally impressed by this room. How in the hell do you all know so much about the golden age of track
If the sport is a passion you watch and read a lot about it.
I subscribed to Track and Field World. The Europeans were simply much stronger than everyone else. I recall the physique of the long jumper Angela Voigt of East Germany.
Basically from personal experience
They are athletics fans exspecially sprint event. Just like football fans
In the seventies, the Olympics, Europeans and World athletic championships had an aura and
magic about them. We didn`t miss them for ANYTHING. Hence the knowledge and recall.
why she don't want to return the baton?
Although the Germans were dopers, their baton exchanges were exquisite.
that's right: they were still technically excellent
Four Seasons They were passing the baton upwards while the rest of the world use the technique " from above"
They were all dopers
Yes, the underhand pass is far superior biomechanically to that of the so-called "jet" pass favored by Americans that don't understand biomechanics. As an American, it makes me sick that so many coaches continue to use the jet pass. It is shear ignorance or laziness...probably both.
@@amonduul2154 C'mon get educated . Not 1 medal or record by any GDR athlete is legitimate .
They are not in this final, but the Bulgarians also were heavily doped in the `70s and `80s.
and Finland, West Germany too!
Yea. Yordanka Donkova, 100m hurdler , is almost a Man from the heavy doping in the 80s.
Yes. Zlateva and Tomova at 800m.
Yes Nuneva in 1988 was doping, but pulled up in the final.
@@miloandtock1 she looked completely butched out
Jamaica 🇯🇲 was always there ❤❤
So Marlise Gohr was older than Marita Koch and still ran till the Seoul Olympics.
No ..Goehr 1958..Koch 1957 ...Koch partecipated in 400 mt at 1976 Olympic but she unfortunated in batteries...He had admired her to leave competitions at her best
2:28 why she is not giving back the baton?
Love the run... it's okay in 1976 but here we are 2022...exra cloth with safety pin attached to the shirt ( it's a shirt right)...???
Please explain. Thanks
back then those were the only two countries not doping, now they are the two major doping powers lmao, yes tables have turned
🇯🇵NHKの放送でも、羽佐間正雄アナが、West🇩🇪の勝ちと判断したが、場内巨大ビジョンでスロー再生され、East🇩🇪の🥇が確認されると驚いていた。名勝負だとは思うが、East🇩🇪Eckertに逆転される程、実力差があったのか?と疑問が残る。
germany lane 1 needed the '72 anchor lady veronica corningstone. heid rosendahl really
If West Germany had Heide, they would have won.
In Paris 2024 USA 1st and Great Britain 2nd Germany 3rd. The unified Germany should have kept the East German sports institution system.
NICE TO WATCH IT
They should test all the frozen samples from the past! Testing is way more advanced now! There be a hell of a lot of gold medals handed back ! Lol
No such thing as "frozen samples." Why the hate, obsession and desperation?
U got that right fo sho!
Than they find out everybody was doped and all the starters from all countries are disqualified
@@amonduul2154 Nonsense! Those samples were discarded years ago! There's nothing to test!
A lot of steroids tests still in infancy
Drugs got the gold , West Germany got the silver.
Drugs in 1976 was very minor by all Countries compared to 1985 and latet
@@pmue437 Not true!
@@pmue437 The GDR was very drugged by this point, as was the USSR. And other key Eastern Bloc athletes. I like to believe Szewinska was always clean though and just naturally talented.
@@miloandtock1 the westerners, Americans Carrebeans were doped as well.
@@amonduul2154 Nonsense!!
For anyone blaming steroids, everyone uses steroids in one form or another now.
💕💕💕
Ещё немного и наши побьют этот рекорд
Man you can smell the steroids in those European women...all dat muscle looking like junior hulks smh
+Alex Levy just like the Americans.
Really? The emaciated-looking, technically brilliant Annegret Richter from West Germany, the best sprinter at the time, who had just collected the gold medal in the 100m and set a world record in her quarter final? She weighed 52 km, about 114 pounds. No signs of rage either, unlike, say, Linford Christie, Serena Williams or Usain Bolt.
@@patricksweeney5308 Some athletes doped without bulking up. Richter was one. She had one good year - 1976, then retuned to her former self!
Another team believe it or not that was doping was FINLAND. They fielded 2 women in the 400m final and came close to medalling they, along with Viren and company were using drugs and blood transfusions as well
So was West Germany, Annegret Richter said she was not doping, but Annegret Konniger on the last leg was a known doper.
@ mets: human growth hormone and blood transfusions of your own oxygen enriched blood weren't illegal then. Best not to judge people from another era by today's rules, eh?
+Michael.RODRIGUEZ RODRIGUEZ you're ignorant! Why are you answering a comment from TWO years ago? metsdudenj posted that comment TWO years go - but you're like a lot of dumb TH-camrs who react rather than reading the date something was posted.
There's no double standard for Americans. Black American athletes are drug tested more than any other, especially if they win a lot. Every time you turn around when black American athletes win at sprints people say they were doping! They think EVERY black athlete uses drugs rather than admit most are just great athletes due to hard work and great conditioning.
@@alfaubert4580 and she couldnt hold the lead so the dope didnt do much
@@alfaubert4580 Richter doped. She had only one good year in 1976!
Looks to me like the Germans had that all to themselves. Daylight 3rd, if ever there was such a thing. If there were any doping going on then the Western and Soviets Blocs must have being doing it equally, going on that, because its daylight next, and decidedly so, in respect to both of them..
MYou make no sense!!
@@waynehentley4332 Fuck up, you dummy. Doping by both sides, going on that.
@@waynehentley4332 It is always addled English stupids who complain that they cannot follow or understand regarding my comments. I have had instances of this once or twice before.
USA 7th ? Wow!!!! Crazy times with lot dopers
And bad hair too.
LOL, they were hardly any dopers, except the GDR and Russia back then. WTF are you talking about ? The doping situation in the sport of track and field was at it's height in the 80s/90s.
@@bobjacubas6818 All 3 medallists doped, including W. Germany.
@@waynehentley4332 NOT !
The US team was Martha Watson (replacing injured Brenda Morehead), Evelyn Ashford (then 19 and first big meet), Debbie Armstrong, and Chandra Cheeseborough (just 17 and still in hs)...they were definitely not doping.
Doping at it's finest!
It was a fair contest.
@@kurtfrancis4621 Bullpucky on that. The GDR was doping. Well documented. As much as Koch and Gohr and Stecher will go to their graves denying it.
@@miloandtock1
And the USA also. But they hide the results like in the case of Carl Lewis. Only if it can't be hidden comes the tribunal like in the Balco scandal
@@kurtfrancis4621 A stupid comment!!
@@amonduul2154 A different era!
💕 💕 💕 💕
USA 7th!! good race! gr8 to see,
USA was out of it from the gun. Long jumper Martha Watson was 11.6 hand timed at her best and she flubbed her pass to Ashford.
West Germany was way ahead then ran a poor last leg.
I think it was more a case of Eckert running an incredible anchor.
@@jamezkpal2361 Agree.
West Germany would be in the lead, with the Bronze medalist on the 2nd leg, and the Gold Medalists on the 3rd leg.
Maybe FRG would have won with Helten as anchorwoman...
I remember this. The difference between first and second probably was the difference between lane 1 and lane 8 -- lane 1 runs more curve, a tighter curve, and can't run as close to the inside of their lane. Nowadays lane assignments have a seeding component to them; not so then. Supposedly random. More likely eastern bloc tampering.
It is a fair point about the lanes making a difference, but as the race took place in Montreal I can't see how the draw was tampered with by the East Germans.
@@trevmanu1 It's not necessarily the East Germans; it could be any Eastern Bloc. So then, one wonders, who had control over the lane assignments then, was it the Canadians, or was it the IAAF or some similar entourage?
@Finarphin Ultimately it's speculation. Nobody knows.
the middle lanes are better not lane 8 - note how modern seeding seeds from the middle - i think the similar lane 1/8 farce of the men's 100m final at the 1980 olympics plus the inaugural world athletics championships (1983) using seeding meant seeding from the 1984 olympic games onwards.
The middle lanes are seeded higher for instance in swimming and in the 100m. It's a slight advantage being in the middle because you can see how everyone is doing (less so in swimming). One wonders why they do that in swimming: the water is the same in each lane -- same on the track (as long was we're on tartan (Hayes for some reason was in lane 1). But I don't think the middle lanes are an advantage in the 200. If you're in the middle you can see the others easier (and you can "pull" on someone ahead of you) but that is a very slight advantage. But running less curve and more straight as well as running a less tight curve is a bigger advantage, in my opinion.@@mrgobrien
Damn USA we use to suck lol
Big time!!😅😅
Drugs make them fast
good 2 c the americans so far back!
andrew paul hi hater 😂😂😂😂😂😂
