- The U.S.A. Women's 4x100m team of (in order of the relay) Chryste Gaines, Gail Devers, Inger Miller and Gwen Torrence take the gold medal at the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia.
Merlene Ottey's anchor leg was absolutely amazing.
God I love this sport, after all these years I still get chills watching this race. ❤🙏
Right??? I watch these whenever I need to feel motivated.
I am just like you. I ❤️, love, I love this sports. It brings back the excitement in me when I participated as a young runner in primary school all the way to HighSchool...Wow a wow a whee.
Me too. I ran track from 2nd grade thru 9th grade. I get excited watching
Roger that🌹
In my view, Gwen Torrence is one of the very best sprinters in the history of athletics!
300% in agreement behind, as Americans, Evelyn and Allyson (jury still out on FGJ)
@@gns3185 Thank you. I have been attacked on the Internet including on TH-cam countless times for favoring and defending Gwen Torrence! Many people did and do not like Gwen. Time heals! As time passes, everything will be placed in their proper places including Gwen Torrence's contributions to the world sprinting and athletics. Gwen's legacy in sprinting shines Golden!
Agreed! She was always one of my favorites. And it's true that a lot of people are still sour about Gwen. She had what cannot be coached and that's drive! So many races I have watched her win on sheer determination and speed
@@pmodel1 Fully agree! Thank you. Now looking back Gwen's contributions and legacy are getting clear and clear and GOLDEN! Gwen has a very strong personality, and she will say openly what she thought without any hiding and cunning silences. That made some people mad! You have to accept Gwen Torrence how she was, period!
@@bbatjargal1549 Agreed!
When you see all those Scrunchies, you know it’s the 90’s.
Nastyman!
Yep
Instablaster.
I will take the scrunchies over the heavy wigs and weaves that's we see now on the, athletes anyday! ☺️.
@@missjones9737 Facts! It’s starting to really get ridiculous out there. I wonder what’s keeping them on sometimes.🤷🏾♂️
The more time that goes by just makes me more amazed at the great Merlene Ottey. Her top quality consistency over so long a period is mind-boggling.
IKR👏👏👏
????
GREAT RUN BAHAMAS THE GOLDEN GIRLS 🕊✝️🙏🇧🇸💕
🕊✝️🙏 Welcome to our 700 islands ROCKS and KEYS 🇧🇸
Ottey run down for the bronze love with your beautiful eyes
Gail Devers brought my attention to the sprinting ladies of the track. She was powerful! Then my mom told me about Evelyn Ashford and Flo-Jo...LOVE!! Marion sped her way into my heart (she trains one of my best friends, now), along with that Pocket Rocket, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce...WOOOO!! Then I saw Carmelita Jeter...I am STILL SMITTEN!! And then there is Allyson...so much grace and beauty!!
Side note: These baton passes by the U.S. teams on both sides are comparable to horror films for me!! Goodness!!
With good passes these women would've flown into the record books .
Agreed! Better passes would’ve really made for an amazing run.
I remember every 4x100 Olympic race since 1988.
Ottey was moving 🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️
Damn Marlene came all the way from 4th to get the bronze that was amazing anchoring
I would love to know the time she ran on that split because that was awesome!! Love me some ottey!!
Absolutely amazing Merlene...she was my favorite sprinter ever ❤️
@@evajayereid4266 9.83 I believe.
@@RKRKRK78 wow, amazing!
So!
I know that was a awesome feeling for Gwen to win a GOLD in her hometown!
Dam n I old her 60,dollar,for a loan 7years,ago,,,,,I will pay it back with a 7 year intress.
she should have won four models. at least 3 golds
Did she only win one gold?
@@NotfromDetroit yes
A stellar team would be Gwen, Allison Felix, Evelyn Ashford and who else?
GAIL DEVERS!!!! 💪🏾
Merlene Ottey ran her leg like a champ
Because she is a champ
I loved Marlene Ottey. Did she ever get a gold medal?
@@leonardsmall3783At world champs, but, unfortunately, she never got the Olympic gold.
@@leonardsmall3783Merlene Ottey is a legend. She was given the name, “The Bronze Queen.” She won 6 Bronze Medals and 3 silvers in her Olympic run. She has also appeared more in the Olympics more than any other athlete in history. She has broken a ton of records. She’s the fastest woman ever in all age groups over 37. She has quite a few championships. Just look her up when you have the chance, I think she is the fastest woman in 200m indoors. 8th fastest in 100m history.. She is a true champion.
I'm just curious how do you run a leg like a champion, and you came in 3rd?
This US team had the speed to break the East German's world record, BUT , shaky handoffs stopped them. They were still the class of the field.
Merlene Ottey ran an unreal last leg there.
🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸💕 GREAT RUN BAHAMAS
Damn I miss my childhood days...🤔
man those passes were all bad and they still won. Aweome
Reminds me of the 88 womens 4x1 with Flo Jo to Evelyn Ashford. Horrible pass, but they pulled it off.
@@KenyaG. Evelyn Ashford ran an amazing anchor to compensate.
@@x-x101Oh, Evelyn Ashford ran her tail off! I get chills everytime I watch that relay.
Am I the only one who loves the commentator...his narration is accurate to listen to and makes it that much more exciting to watch :) *giggle*
Some of the finest women in the world. All of the countries. Just incredible !!!
Big shoutout to the US team; they did well despite the handoffs! Also, shoutout to the JAM team, and especially Merlene Ottey; she was behind and pulled off Bronze! Bahamian team, you all did wonderful!
Torrence was smoking wow on that anchor leg. Gail was rolling 2.
Those ladies were awesome. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Damn...that Ottey anchor run. Whew!
?
I love those 1992 Atlanta track uniforms 👍👍👍👍
Yes, they were terrific weren't they?
Atlanta was in 1996
1996
I miss this entire generation of sprinting. With me, it started with Evelyn Ashford. Gail Devers, Gwen Torrence...miss these ladies leading the USA contingent.
At 7:14 Bob lost it talking about it makes my booty lock up! I almost died
Gwen is beautiful in full speed!
Cuthbert got smoked by Devers but Ottey ran a Phenemonal leg!
She did at the start but by the time the bat-ton exchange came she Made up a lot of ground.
I also didn't appreciate Gwen Torrence until it was long overdue but good on her. I say the best women's sprinter over time was Evelyn Ashford however for one magical Olympics FLO-JO was like a rocket. her 200 times would have beat many men's efforts
Love Evelyn Ashford
Torrance was my favourite and I fell in love with her 🥰
GAIL! LEGENDARY!
Yassss!!! USA👑
Gwen Torrence💅🏾
The slow second pass to Inger Miller cost the American team the world record.
Damn! Jamaica lost it on the third leg. But those girls made us proud.
Usual biased American commentary!
The announcers never mentioned The Bahamas during the race until about a second before it ended. They ran their asses off.
The whole thing was over in :50. They are U.S. announcers. Bahamas? Get real.
They won it outright 4 years later
#Sydney
@@teller1290 get real?? U are one hater
@@vjbowe242 hate's a preposterous word, don't you think. Bible teaches hate goes right before murder and stems from same sinful spirit. All I'm saying is the other teams don't merit much coverage on an AMERICAN broadcast. I don't hate the other teams or other penny-ante countries.
I remember this race so well. I remember screaming go Pauline go. and we got silver 4 years later the goal.
Gold!
🇧🇸
Gwen my favourite athlete of all time
Wow. These girls were fast 🗣️💯 #teamUSA
Merlene Ottey omg that last leg was amazing ❤.
*Man there was some sexy chocolate out there back in the day!*
jarvis thomas - Facts!
WOOOOOOORD!!!!!!!!
All Day
Cadbury dairy milk is the best.
Wow shout out to Inger Miller. That was not a good hand off from Gail to Inger, but Inger flew around that curve to give Gwen such a big lead.
Gwen was plenty successful on her own but she was THAT GIRL in some relays. Both in the 100 and 400 sprint relays, she had another gear entirely.
Won by pure speed of the girls. The first pass was o.k., but second an third were really bad. One of the best US- Woman teams of all time.
I thought all the passes were bad for the US. Devers and Torrence were slow off the mark, Miller took off too soon. Definitely could have been a faster time
Thanks so very much for sharing!
You're very welcome. We hope you'll subscribe and "Like".
Commentators did not even mention the Bahamas lineup at start of race. Boy were they shocked when the Bahamas came in 2nd
Facts
BEAUTIFUL MY CARIBBEAN QUEEN 🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
Love it!!! Big up Bahamas forever
Biased American commentators!
Damnn even if ottey got the batton late she was absolutely tearing in man wow 👏
Her leg impressed me the most honestly
@@longbranch11207 Yes and in fairness Torrence didn't have to do much. She got the baton already ahead of Pauline Davis who is a 200/400 runner, hardly a challenge. In 92 when Torrence had to run an amazing leg she sure did, similar to Ottey here.
I absolutely LOVE how they didn't mention The Bahamas during the entire race until we were in the Silver Medal position.
Pretty much the same when we won Gold in 2000.
👸🏾🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
Damn Jamaica's third leg runner pulled a hamstring 5 meters before the changeover to Ottey which caused them to lose. Good run and Ottey had a strong finish to get the bronze. Amazing race..WOW....
Yes, some wonderful athletes on the track that day.
Man ottey was literally tearing in bro she doesn't play
Absolute B.S. I will make this as clear as I Can. Ottey was a Fantastic sprinter. Unfortunately She could not run with the Americans. From her surly comments and PED suspensions she just did not have the top end Speed to run with the Americans unless she was Juicing. Torrence ran her down in the 200m. To think she was in the Americans class is ignorant and comical. And this is accurate finish. U.S. first. Bahamia Second. Jamaica third. And Jamaica was lucky to get 3rd. They are not the best Sprinter’s in the Caribbean.
@@dohcsmr1175 Just showing your ignorance. Utter and complete garbage you’re spewing.
@@dohcsmr1175lol what a dumb statement Ottey was faster than all the Americans on that track that day.
she’s faster than both Gwen and Gail has faster PB over both 100m & 200m and has a faster top end speed than the US athletes.
PB 10.74 was the fastest 100m of96 a race in which she won the grand prix final over Deevers who equaled her PB that day of 10.82.
I suggest you get your facts straight Merlene was an icon 🇯🇲
Congratulations to the USA ladies relay team on there win 🏆.
Black queens 👸
Still win the gold with horrible handoffs 👏
Heavy Gratitude
Fantastic
Good job ladies
American women killed it! Go USA!
Ottey hawked Privalova for bronze, and Privalova was no slouch!
Facts. I noticed that. I wonder what her split was she was 💨
Smooth pass too! I barely saw it.
Ottey STILL came from wayyyy behind to get 3rd. Privalova gets smoked again, the same way she did in '92 by Torrence.
Someone knows their track and field:)
@@vintagebroadcastingsystem8028 😁👍
And in 98 by Arron, and 91 by Ottey again...though in 93 she held off Devers.
@@RKRKRK78 ottey wow...still giving 110%
Privalova remains an extraordinary athlete.
I would love to know what Merlene Ottey’s anchor leg was timed at also her top end speed she flew the last 40m to catch privalova.
Any sprint experts know?
She ran 9.83 (running start) for that last 100. She actually ran faster in 1991 with a ~9.71 anchor.
9.83
Gail ATE that backstretch my goodness
That second baton change 😲 omg
The passes were bad but the leg speed of the girls were definitely undefeated!!!
Bad? Those hand-offs were horrible. But damn they ran fast. Coulda had the record with a smooth race. Inger Miller was no joke.
Yes, just awesome athletes.
Women not girls.
@@judrayton Eggzactly
She was my favorite runner 🏃♂️
I love watching girls running.
No time to mention the Bahamas and Jamaica teams until the very end. It's essential "America first" huh?
well..it's an American broadcast...so yea. Also, if you watch many of these old races on youtube you will notice we have some of the worst announcers in track and field in the world.
That run by ottey
I just love Jamaica's
why exactly...they're nothing to write home about
@@sharkkeeper01 because that's what freedom of speech is
Loving yourself is the best 😂
@@coppertone29ferdinandburke11 Jesus said love your neighbour as you love yourself above all my bro love is the core to eternal life AMEN
@@sharkkeeper01 , fuck off! Hater. And, Jamaica dominated for the last 12 years! For a country of 2.8 mil, and limited resources at the time, that is something to fucking write home! Maybe you could learn something from them instead of hating on them.
The was Rollin
Do you have to gorgeous to run the 4x100? it may help!
That damn anchor leg 🇺🇸 was 💨💨💨
👍
Catries Johnson She’s the best ever on anchor
Run Christie run
Bahamas ran a brilliant race
Classy team those Bahamans!
Go USA!
100% JUICE
Weghweh Hwewehwhe flo jo didn’t cheat
Dustin Gabe sure she cheated because she ran faster than everyone else.
Dustin Gabe how about you stop being an idiot and do your research. She died because she had a seizure in her sleep not because she took drugs.
If it was now some of these teams would be banned
Merlene ottey is a true legend and has passion n love for what she does...
I no she wouldn't get banned😊😊😊
Love we some ottey n team Jamaica 🇯🇲 😊😊
Do you have the women's 4x400m relay with these same commentators? I've been looking for it for years. That race is here on YT but with some other commentators who sounded dull and unexcited especially when Kim Graham passed the Nigerian runner. I remember Carol Lewis screaming with excitement and I would like to hear that again.
We're really not sure. But if it should come up, we will be sure to post it. Please subscribe just in case and as mentioned, we will definitely post that race if we come across it. Glad you enjoyed this version of the Women's 4X100. Merry Christmas!
It's on here. Check 1996 olympic women's 4x400m relay final.
Surely their got away with those passes they were very bad and shaky but speed prevailed. Lesson learnt
EUA sempre a ganhar GOD Bless. Enderson Miranda
🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸 THIS IS HOW WE DO IT 💕
Gwen took off way early 😀😀😀😀
Inger took off early. Gwen took off late
Fastest women 4x100 women track team I’ve seen
Nah the USA 2012 4x100m team was the fastest.
The world record was set in 2012 by the American women- Madison, Felix, Knight, & Jeter. 🖤🇺🇸🖤
I was here. 😊
USA 🇺🇸
All of dope
There is nothing to prove the four U.S. women used performing-enhancing drugs prior to this race. Gaines received a 2-year doping bin in 2004. Miller was stripped of a bronze medal in the 60 meters at the 1999 world indoor championships after a positive caffeine test. Torrence and Devers never tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs.
Bwoy, Jamaica and America a come from far.
Go u.s.a. go Ms torres
Merlene ottey the best post..nikole michel lesionada entrega el testigo
Yes Marlene was the bronze queen She loved running I have nothing but respect for dedication to the sport. If it wernt for her there would be no Shelly Ann Fraser-Price
They hardly mentioned the bahamas team at all until the very end, who came back in 2000 to take the gold
"It makes my boy lock up" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
I am saying this with respect - these ladies all had the rear end Kim Kardashian sooo desires. Maybe if she'd get out there and work out every day like these ladies she wouldn't have to resort to fakey fillers. These ladies ROCK!
Janet Williams - F*ck Kim Kardashian.
I can't with the commentators made the hit pretty amazing to watch
Yes it was USA...❤❤❤ but Ottey ran, wow....
Jamaica third leg took them out of that race seemed like she tripped up
Jamaica had it to won that third leg running was awful 😢😢
@@diegogeneral1217 fucked up the whole meds
Not true... everyone on the US team had more speed. Mama Ottey was their fastest and she wasn't faster than Devers. The rest of the Jamaicans were way off because they was not beating The Bahamas either... who had 2 of their girls in the individual sprint events and a third potential. Let's keep it real!
@@LMartin242 , girl, bye, Juliet and Merlene was faster than everyone on the Bahamas team.
And that’s a fact
They have power in legs.....power houses.....be water 💦
Change of baton in relay matches has been the problem for Nigeria athletics how I wish they can throw more light on that important tactics to coming athletics so as to improve because we have what it takes to always lift gold medals
Not
I am love atheletic....
Gwen does it for me tho
Merlene ottey is the greatest female sprinter Eva live
rimonta pazzesca di Marlene
Chryste Gaines failed the dope test.
Sudeep Sarkar not until 2003.
But she fought it and won.
Damn, USA is lucky as heck! Three straight lousy exchanges AND they still take home gold.
no they were just that fast that it didnt matter
@C B S .....LOL
Why don't I remember this one? Oh, now I remember, my ex never let me watch sports back then. Hence, the EX..😅
Looking like Wilma Rudolph.....blistering down the stretch....be water 💦
Nice to know there are people out there who still know and appreciate the great Wilma Rudolph.
7:08 "It makes my booty lockup"
Tyler James 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Even though USA won this race to me Marlene otey is the real hero of this race
Christie Gaines sis taught at my high school
Jamaica, most often, messes🎉 up
