For ALL of her accomplishments, Evelyn Ashford probably did not get the recognition that she should have. In my opinion, she's the best anchor ever...an amazing sprinter💖
evelyn ashford is the GOAT! She even qualified for the 1992 olympics when FloJo already retired, and still got herself a gold medal
Flo Jo is the GOAT. Obviously...
Evelyn is my baby even though I wasn't even born in her first olympics. I saw her 88 relay with flo jo boy oh boy.
I think that Evelyn Ashford proved herself over the breadth of a long career. I also believe that Ashford was not cheating (doping) and proved so much from pure talent and hard work.
@Sham D
I totally agree along with Gail Devers & Gwen Torrence!
@@JDOGFTW Flo Jo absolutely dominated the 88 Olympics, the star of the games.
Evelyn Ashford absolute track legend, and she did it all with her natural talent and hard work!!
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT
I’ve never seen a woman with such raw power. Flo Jo had the form, Evelyn had the power, and was a beast.
Evelyn ran that first leg so fast, she surprised her own teammate! She is the US 100m GOAT, male or female. Competed in 76, 84, 88, 92 (80 was the boycott). Simply incredible
Glad you said this because some(well many) will look at her time and disagree but what they will neglect is the Accomplishments. Also the surface they ran on back in that era was nowhere near as advanced and nice as todays tracks which allow these athletes to time faster.
She doesn't get enough credit. Evelyn was incredible
@@sublimeandcokeshe was a boss, and one of the few women to have beaten FloJo head-to-head.
@mykoniichistorychannel that's because flo Jo was only good at 2 competitions, the us trials and the Olympics, didn't race the circuit that season due to testing and wasn't as good before that season and then retired straight after the Olympics
@@martintownsend6694but she was making a comeback! UNFORTUNATELY, injuries and her UNTIMELY death prevented that from happening! She wanted to hold the world records in the 100, 200, and 400 SIMULTANEOUSLY
Evelyn Ashford actually was on five Olympic teams. Though they did not compete in 1980, she still was selected for the Olympics.
These Nigeria ladies are legends taking the bronze medal. Beatrice,Faith,Christy and Mary Onyali
all ran the race of their lives at the Barcelona 92 Olympics. Bless you Girls!!!
Yes, they are great! In particular Onyali deserves so much praise and recognition. Unfortunately, they were of the same generation with Great 400 runner Falilat Ogunkoya (her squad) and they were shadowed by the mighty Falilat in the world press. Unfortunate! But now days, Blessing Okkabare is carrying the Nigerian Flag in the athletics. Let's wish her good luck in Tokyo!
The Nigerians are always in the mix ❤
@@bbatjargal1549 Onyali is definitely popular too
@@ayoayo7730 However Falilat Ogunkoya is the greatest athlete out of the Nigerian federation.
@@jamesbedugraham8056 Yeah, I think so
Evelyn said this was the medal she was most proud of all given everyone counted her out & it was her last Olympics. Awesome anchor by Gwen. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Gwen was a demon on that track 😨
Gwen Torrence. BURNED UP that anchor leg…..
At the time Evelyn equalled the record for the most Gold medals won by a woman in Athletics.
GOAT 🐐
Storming anchor leg by Gwen Torrence. Fantastic finish!
Gwen Torrance was no joke. She used smoke fools on the track. Gorgeous also. Go Dawgs
Well done Evelyn Ashford. Your success is just incredible.
Legendary Evelyn Ashford!!
Evelyn Ashford was so special legend and the Late Flo-Jo RIP 🙏miss you Maam
Evelyn Ashfotd was definitely a legend, and has not once been tainted by any accusations of Doping unlike Flo Jo and other contemporaries!!
"This may be her (Ottey) last chance at Olympic gold"
Ottey: Proceeds to run in the 1996, 2000 and 2004 Olympic games. And almost qualified in 2008.
I feel like she actually beat Devers in 96
Right...It's OJ commenting 🤦♀️🤷♀️
Damn, how old was she in 2008? I know I should Google it lol. Almost qualified?
@@MajorrBison 48! She missed the Oly qualifying mark by .25 seconds or something.
@@RKRKRK78 probably because that was Frasier pryce olympics.
Hugs and love for Gwen Torrence and Evelyn Ashford!
Greatest anchor ever Gwen Torrence underrated sprinter
I just HAD to point out that Esther Jones is absolutely stunning!!! Go Evelyn!!!🏃🏾♀️
Isn’t she?! All of the ladies have a natural beauty.
@@officiallylori. Yes...I love everything about this video from the running to the melanin to their accents.
True that
But she can’t get her ass off her go mark to save her life LMAO
@@kevinlang7510 Can yo mutta😆
Lovely face indeed.
Gwen Torrence is the best anchor of the 90s
Evelyn Ashford is the best anchor of the 80s
Veronica Campbell Brown is the best anchor of the 2000s
Gwen Torrence is one of my favorite female sprinters. Bravo, Gwen. People say Gwen is too competitive and aggressive, and so on. In this hyper competitive sport, you have to aggressive and even cocky!
I agree..people hate her to this day for that very same thing
@@pmodel1 I agree with you. You know what, Gwen, Evelyn, Irina Privalova, Gail, and Marylin Ottey were clean and honest athletes. Therefore, their legacy is inspiring compared to Flo Jo, or Marion Jones, and so on, cheaters... It is sad that often honest and clean athletes like Gwen do not get credits they deserve.
@@bbatjargal1549 I think people saw it as bitter way of being; instead of being gracious. I saw it as being ultra competitive. You are there to win. For better or worse, she drew attention to the sport
Exactly! I hate when people call track athletes cocky!
@@avionterria7855 Sorry if I re-used the word c***y. I agree that no athletes in particular female athletes should be described by using this word... But this sport is the most competitive as Gwen and Marilene said many times...
Awesome race! 35 seems to be the magic number for retirement!
Team Nigeria 🇳🇬🙌🏽
The nigerians were barring down on torrance that anchor leg.
@@JDOGFTW😂😂😭 what race did u watch😂
A fantastic finish. Very happy also for Ashford.
Correction to that commentator: These were not Evelyn's third and final Olympic Games but her fourth: Montreal 76, Los Angeles 84, Seoul 88 and Barcelona 92 and hadn't been because of the boycott she would have participated in Moscow 80
Can't beat Merlene Ottey though - 80, 84, 88, 92, 96, 00, 04 - her seven appearances are the most for any track and field athlete.
What was the Unified team? Evelyn is the greatest US sprinter ever. She never took any drugs and was a top runner since her teens...1976-1992 all Olympic and World Championship teams.
Unified team was Russia at that time
Unified team was all the former Soviet Republics which included most of the post-Soviet countries outside of Russia, like Ukraine. The 3 Baltic republics opted to send their own teams though.
OJ was sharp
He killed it
😂😂😂😂 too cheeky😂😂🌺🙏🏽
Wow OJ 😳
Came here to see Merelene Ottey and Gwen Torrence.
Ashford was the truth.....
She doesn't get the recognition she deserves. She and Felix are Olympic legends!!!
Loved the 1988 women's 4x100 and 4x400 but this was also fantastic. Will have to watch all the American relays now.
Dang, one can only imagine what was going thru Marlene Ottey's head when she saw her teammate had the leg cramp?..
Thanks for this once again dude. I love watching races from the 80s-90s. Do you have the 1991 Tokyo 4x100m Finals?
Search for it, there are multiple versions of that race online!
OJ the legend
I love my nigerian princess
Only you
Gwen Torrence said No!!
So OJ was a commentator at the '92 games!😏
OJ was a regular track commentator. He was also in LA '84.
@@seanwilson5516 woow
Also the 1976 games.
It was very bad for Merlene Ottey! No Gold Medals in the Olympics. She later continued her career with Slovenia, after acquiring citizenship of the country! She represented Jamaica from 1978 (aged 18) to 2002, and Slovenia from 2002 until 2012 (aged 52!). She was named Jamaican Sportswoman of the year 13 times between 1978 and 1995!
Did Oj run track at USC. He's talking like he knows what he's talking about...
Yes. Back in 1967, O. J. and his USC teammates (Earl McCullouch, Fred Kuller, and Lennox Miller) set the world record in the 4 x 110y relay, with O. J. running the third leg. His best 100y time at USC was 9.4 (when the world record was 9.1).
He knows what he's talking about, he was not A Novice
@@jimmuchmore5854 I'm very confused by the times you posted when the current 100m world record is 9.5 seconds. There's no way O J Simpson ran a 9.4 second hundred meter race.
@@mikelenbody9691 I said that he ran 9.4 seconds for “100y” which means “100 yards.” In the 1960’s, when O. J. was competing, U.S. sprinters almost always ran races that were measured in yards, rather than meters. Because a yard is shorter than a meter, times in 100y races will be faster than times in 100m races.
Anchor leg was tight the win wasn't a huge gap but a win is a win
Almost exactly two years after O.L Simpson narrated this race, he was arrested for the murders of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman.
Now that was a race.
Que Machín apretó gwen torrence a mitad de la pista. Excelente
Look at O.J.
que tal final de Gwen Torrence, tremenda
i felt for jamaican n especially Ottey jamaican had good acceleration n speeed
😂
"Normally I'm nervous being around 4 fast women"
Lol OJ..
Ester Jones so pretty!
Yes she is. And OJ was actually a really solid commentator.
Yes she’s very pretty.
Where is Gail Devers ??
love for the four love love for d best evelyn
IS THAT THE JUICE TALKING AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS?
😂😂😂 the one and only
Frumos la ora de sport
The commentators found it so difficult to mention Nigeria, despite setting an African record on that track.
But Thank God for Atlanta '96
Nigeria was a gem here
OMG it's OJ
How good was this race though? Every time I watch the Sprints makes me want to get out on the track and run again, then I remember that im too old and out of shape:0. I forgot that OJ use to commentate and he was really ago at it too.
Why do US Women Sprint Team Run so gracefully.?
Hardwork and perseverance
Juice -- two years before putting on the gloves.
Well, this would have been Ottey's Olympic gold, Jamaica would have won this if not for the unfortunate injury suffered by Juliet Cuthbert. But amazing anchor leg by Torrence, one of the best of all-time.
It sucked I would have been pissed off they had the speed to win and Juliet went down
I feel sad
Didnt Ottey get suspended for doping?
@@metsdudenj Not sure what that has anything to do with this 1992 race. But yes she was banned and then it was overturned controversially.
NOT
Time really doesn’t forgive I wish once we reach 30 we stay in that age looks wise
💯
OJ!
OJ originally suggested they carry knives instead of batons as it might make the recipients run faster but years later NBC edited it out of their broadcast.
Ash ford- 1 like her very muchi What a run
OJ a legend
What country is the unified team?
It consisted of 12 of the 15 republics of the former Soviet Union.
@@jimmuchmore5854 ok thanks
merlene ottey was cursed...
you mean juiced
Frfr Bronze QUEEN
Nonsense
and cheated. Her gold was given to Gail in Atlanta.
USA 🇺🇸
‘92 like ‘88. WHY did the USA put their weakest runner on Leg 2 to dig a hole that 3 and 4 had to labor to just BARELY win at the tape?
I find it absolutely incredible that more people don’t find it highly strange how Flo Jo just suddenly disappeared after the 88 games, and all those “ astounding and astonishing “ times????
Nothing incredible about it. Drug testing rules changed by 1989 and even as I child I recall press commentary questioning her retirement for the very reasons you said.
Why didn’t Gail Devers run in this relay, was she I’ll or a conflict with the hurdles?
Nevermind OJ answered it right as I posted the comment
RIP OJ
Da juice was very insightful.... Good job killa!
🙄
American Sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson sprints like Gail Severs and Flo Jo but after looking at this and a couple other video's, she has that attitude, competitiveness like Gwen Torrence. Be afraid, very afraid.....
Oh OJ you came across as so friendly and normal here - yet just two years later
Yep. ...a murderer in the box
@@theire483
Not guilty.
@@EightFrancs not innocent either
😳
The once great now Fallen Angel OJ Simpson
Esther Jones should not have been on the team. I wish Gail Devers had run. Michelle Finn would have been a better choice than Esther
💯👌🏾
They would have broke 42 seconds for SURE 🔥
Why didn't Devers run? That's odd. Maybe from the hurdle incident.
Before race started announcer said she hadn't had time to practice with the team, and he added that's the only reason she's not on it.
@@tantmil7898 strange to me, because even now they don't practice together until race time. She should have been there
I wonder why OJ didn't do the 96 games?
🙄
It was really disappointing that Juliet Cuthbert pulled up due to injury. Jamaica would have easily won the Finals. Merlene Ottey would have bring the Jamaicans home for Gold.
Woulda coulda shoulda.
@@revpgesqredux If the men didn't drop the stick...
NOT
Probably not back then the US had a pretty good grip on track and field...that is once the East Germans (who previously held most of the records) were caught doping, which they had been doing for years.
🤭
Jamaica would had win this race if it wasn't for the injury to Cuthbert
NOT
U just wished they would have won hahahaha
This is America you have a right to be wrong
Juice had all four of those grrls after Warren Beatty had them first
That guy sounds like OJ.
It is OJ.
Looks like him too. Lol. He was on a relay team at USC. They set a world record
Dang she walk her down last leg go run
They could have easily gotten the record if it wasn't for the 2 bad exchanges
Now that Flo Jo has retired, all other sprinters actually have a chance of a gold medal in 100m and 200m. When she was at her peak no one could come close. No one has been able to come close to her times 40 years later.
Yes- and you obviously have never ever found that strange???
@@steveturner609 A little, but considering that all elite athletes these days are on PEDs it means that even IF Flo Jo used drugs she was just way better than everyone else including today's sprinters.
She was obviously a genetic freak and did intensive work on her sprint mechanics which gave her a fluid, big lower leg action, graceful stride. She also underwent an intensive weights program. Those were sufficient to explainher greatness. She never failed a drug test.
It is well documented us drugs testers ,turned a blind eye
@@michellepeoplelikeyoumurde8373 Zero evidence. You're a liar.
That race was Ottey's chance to get an olympic gold but she was denied, so sad. Frankly I don't think the USA would stay ahead of her.
😆
why on god's earth was OJ doing color commentary in track and field?
The same reason you have a Black man as your avatar
@@mcdonoghrahloh459 makes no sense, I am Black, OJ dumb ass was not a track star
He was a track star back at USC.
@@press1500 actually he was. USC google it!
He was on a world record 4x100 relay at USC
Recorded PEOPLES COURT episode ,2022 & Ms Esther Jones was a defendant so I had to look her up. remembered Evelyn & Torrence...... Dang OJ Simpson use to commentate the Track & Field???,😠😠😠😠(( BRENTWOOD I do recall that)) it's gone now..Digress
Oj simpson????
I know...I was like "we are going to just pretend that's not OJ???"....
@@melarri 😂😂😂😂😂
No, Michelle Kwan
He knows what is talking about (sorry) he was on a world record 4x100 relay team at USC
OJ Simpson with the call
All she doing is breaking her neck looking to see Merlene! Smh
Lol O J Simpson!
🤣 🤣 🤣
Murderer
Oh Jamaicans was rejected 1992 Olympic?😅😅😅
OJ SIMPSON the fastest man of the world
he’s so fast I didn’t see him coming
And a murderer
Why is OJ hiding his right hand😲
🙄
Russians stay doping. Appreciate the consistency 😂🥴
O.J. Simpson!
Those East German women were hot😅😅😅
4:01 "The Jamaican team is out".
Suddenly I lost my interest on the race.
🙄
OJ was an excellent color commentator. No telling what his broadcast career could've become, had he not turned into a psychopath.
Juliet Cuthbert ran out of her lane, primary students dont! And she is running in the Olympics, if that wasn't deliberate what is?
She got injured you idiot and that caused her to run out of her lane.
Pretty woman
Gwen torrence, a champion.... gwen berry, a scrub...
