+G C Thanks for that info, it is my belief that if she had the same druggist as you know who, Christine "the Rocket" Arron who ran 10.73s to claim the European in 1998 (# 1401) which still stands to this date 18 Apr 2016, 18 yrs later; we may have seen 10.41s. "The Rocket" was fast. Ever seen a rocket taking off, slow at first, but then watch out for the top end speed hence the nickname coined by me "The Rocket". By the way she was born in the Caribbean Guadeloupe; she is an Antilles woman as the French say about 450km (270 miles) from Trinidad my homeland hence my bias. LOL.
not really i think marie jose perec was frances most talented athlete all christine aaron can do is run a good last leg on the 4x100 relay but she's no perec.
silly boy. I was content simply watching the video. In fact I hadn't seen this vid in a year. Remember YOU commented to me a fucking year after the fact. Now you wanna scream "watch the video!" Dude, think before you respond next time.
Haha, when is the last time the French relay teams have even sniffed the medal podium in international competition? You beat the Americans one time, but normally you guys are toast, French toast!
Dans l'histoire des championnats du monde c'est 2 médailles d'or, 4 médailles d'argent et une médaille de bronze pour la France au 4x100 mètres. Ca n'est pas si mal pour une population 5 fois inférieure à celle des États-unis et sans dopage :-)
wow high level debate here... anyway , what a race! what a determination a patricia girard's start an christine arron at her very best i was there , the atmosphere was absolutly amazing in the stadium after barber's victory (sorry 4 my probably "idiot english langage" wich is not my mother tongue ;)
The sad thing here is that have people from different countries pulling down each other. These countries all have black sprinters. The product of the Atlantic Slave Trade. But the facts are the facts. Genetically, I have read this some where that 2/3 of Jamaicans have the gene for fast twitch muscles. This type of genetic distribution is evident in many of the African diaspora populations. In fact the diseases of the diaspora are not generally found in the West African population eg. Serious high blood pressure problems. We are products of a time when we breed like horses. So we run faster than others. Look at the 2012 female 100m. The 1st 6 of 8 were diaspora runners. 2 were from West Africa. Our genes come from W/Africa in the majority. But these genes may tend to be more randomly distributed in W/A. I celebrated that two diaspora teams came 1-2. I wished it was 1-2-3. The concept is Pan African. I hear the message of Peter Tosh. "Don't mind where you come from if you are a black man you are an African." My realty is that I am outwardly from the diaspora. My skin is black. But I know that am also part Scottish. When I was racially insulted in England over 50 yrs ago, hit with a paper bullet from a rubber band and told WOG go home. Do you think that I could have told them I was part Scottish. Look at the treatment of some of the Windrush gereration. Look at what happened in Little Africa Oklahoma. Btw Kelly White who was caught on the clear is half Jamaican. Her mother is Debbie Byfield who ran for Jamaica in the 1972 Olympics her father is an African American sprinter. Such is life. I am from Trinidad and Tobago Ato Boldon country, he too is half Trini and half Jamaican. Such is life. Smh. These are some of the facts; so sad. As someone has said the only difference between us is where the boat dropped us off.
@kimbaptise listen buddy , u have u'r own notion of the planet.... u can think the only diffrence between people is the color of the skin. actually , i know that is the point of view of many afro american (i guess u r) maybe i can't judge that because we don't have the same history and past etc... but they're r other notions that exist like the principe of nation , lot's of people care about that , and lot of french "sistas" do , whatever u may think. Anyway , take care (from tiny place lol)
Nice try. But keep trying ! I don't think this is something an American can (or want to) understand. This is too far from their own realities, so let's forgive them for their ignorance.
The "fact" you were saying is that when a race is run by black people one can't call it a race between France and America. That's why I said "racist" and I say it again !!!
Fatdaddylongsaks, I know your response was a year ago, but I just saw it today. The Americans posing and playing it up for the cameras doesn't take away or diminish the obvious work and time they've put into becoming amazing athletes. We're focusing on their post race shenanigans. But look at them pre race and they are all beacons of focus and intensity. Yeah France wooped that ass, here. But it's an anomaly. Doesn't happen much to even be considered a threat.
do you have the heats for this?? i think Sally Pearson was in the Australian team then when she was 16, Shes now 25 and 100m hurdles Olympic champion, I'd love to see it, thanks:)
this just only one Aaron world titled, poor Aaron!! because she couldn't do anything in 100 M final, Tori Edwards beat her, so lucky she can re vans here,, anyway ,, beat USA 1 time like beat them for 100 time,, its funny,, because french always strong team but loser every time.. so congratulation French!.
The "fact" you was saying is that when the race is run by black people one can't call it a race between France and America. That's why I said "racist" and I say it again.
Tori Edwards SUCKS!!! She had enough of a lead given to her by inger miller that she should have crossed the finish line first. Arron had a fast leg, but tori edwards as usual choked!
The crowd was amazing, never heard so much noise during athletics championships
J'ai regardé les JO, et ça fait mal au coeur de dire que l'on est bien loin de se réultat là aujourd'hui
Yeah Arron is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen!!!
Aaron @ 34.4 kilometers per hour top end speed... that's 1988 flo jo type speed, very impressive
+G C Thanks for that info, it is my belief that if she had the same druggist as you know who, Christine "the Rocket" Arron who ran 10.73s to claim the European in 1998 (# 1401) which still stands to this date 18 Apr 2016, 18 yrs later; we may have seen 10.41s.

Arron run so beautiful.
By the way, this crowd just shows how much of a big deal T&F is over in Europe compared to here.
not really i think marie jose perec was frances most talented athlete all christine aaron can do is run a good last leg on the 4x100 relay but she's no perec.
VIVE LA FRANCE
I don't even know what that means. But whatever it means, I find it HILARIOUS that a Frenchman is calling an American it. The irony!
yeah, Chryste Gaines, such an athlete. Oh wait, she got busted....
Torry Edwards, worst US womens 4x100 anchor ever
silly boy. I was content simply watching the video. In fact I hadn't seen this vid in a year. Remember YOU commented to me a fucking year after the fact. Now you wanna scream "watch the video!" Dude, think before you respond next time.
@kimbaptise oh really? How many native americans actually won olympics medals for the US? your "champions" all come from Africa and Europe
LOL. I don't understand your language. I went to school. So "idiot-speak" is a foreign tongue.
always good to see the americans beaten!! agree with other comments,did the americans 4get to dope that day!
Haha, when is the last time the French relay teams have even sniffed the medal podium in international competition? You beat the Americans one time, but normally you guys are toast, French toast!
ranhill usa=dope

Anthologic RUN !!!! France always had wonderful runners but this combo with Arron in leader was something else.
can't wait for the olympics in london
Queen Christine of Trois Rivière walked on the water
Christine arron is the Queen!!! She can run!!!
Here comes Christine Arron on the inside !!!! :-D
Arron ran a superb anchor!
wow high level debate here...
anyway , what a race! what a determination a patricia girard's start an christine arron at her very best
i was there , the atmosphere was absolutly amazing in the stadium after barber's victory
(sorry 4 my probably "idiot english langage" wich is not my mother tongue ;)
No problem fully understood
crazy that the Jamaicans were even in contention in this relay before foster got hurt... the team was 2 hurdlers, a long jumper, and one 200m runner.
By the following year the Jamaicans were Olympic Champions in the event with the arrival of VCB the sprint queen.
Here comes Christine Arron ! Just WOW
Christine Arron PWNED that last leg...that was ridiculous her last 30-40 is INSANE!!
Never underestimate the power of the home crowd.
No tori Edwards should not have been the anchor
France earned that win!
Christine Arron's 10"73 and France's 41"78 are the REAL women world records of 100m and 4x100m relay.
Superbe christine Aaron !!

Torry Edwards, worst US womens 4x100 anchor ever.
and lets not 4get perecs 48.25 as the real 400m world record.
can't wait for olympic london? they got nothing,, USA break the world record..
thanks for recording this with a potato.
+ndspeedster I did not know that one could use a potatoe (Dan Quayle) to record a video. LOL and still LMAO.
not to mention that US'Chryste Gaines was doped.
Christine Arron is FINE!
Excelent race...
Christine Arron is beautiful!
Tori Edward's always getting ran down
Beautiful commentry.
@Markguest36 France just doubled their dose. That wasn't the U.S. first time losing.
Torrie Edwards likes to get pwned... VCB almost did the same to her in 07
@kimbaptise listen buddy , u have u'r own notion of the planet.... u can think the only diffrence between people is the color of the skin.

Nice try. But keep trying ! I don't think this is something an American can (or want to) understand. This is too far from their own realities, so let's forgive them for their ignorance.
Christine Arron on the Inside !!!!
NOTHING IN LONDON! USA BREAK THE WORLD RECORD!

Doesn't happen much to even be considered a threat.
Bottom line, France and Aaron wanted it more. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THE HOME CROWD.
luisclark7, I'd like to respond to your message to me, but it was clear that you weren't speaking English.
You read it. You don't understand it. But you read it. Go to sleep girl-like french man.
It took you a whole year to come back with that misspelled drivel? LOL. Calm down silly. Read a book.
do you have the heats for this??
i think Sally Pearson was in the Australian team then when she was 16, Shes now 25 and 100m hurdles Olympic champion, I'd love to see it, thanks:)
this just only one Aaron world titled, poor Aaron!! because she couldn't do anything in 100 M final, Tori Edwards beat her, so lucky she can re vans here,, anyway ,, beat USA 1 time like beat them for 100 time,, its funny,, because french always strong team but loser every time.. so congratulation French!.
Vive le dopage... ahahah flo jo, gatlin, marion jones, tyson gay, tom mongomery... you are the best for sure
sorry ....i dont have time...because i was have fun with your economy ...hahahaahah
Barely losing is a bit different to winning though, isn't it? Oops.
Chryste Gaines lol what a shame...
run faster miss edwards next time but over all the usa team did dam good !!!!
100 pour 100 d'accord avec toi malheureusement
Agree with grezzkid...not racist at all.
This year 2007 at the world champs for relay jamaica or usa will win. But no one is going to break the really record for at least another 5 years.
Chadwin Allotey You predicted correctly.
Mind-blowing!
lol. so original.
you're so cute.
The "fact" you was saying is that when the race is run by black people one can't call it a race between France and America. That's why I said "racist" and I say it again.
just lucky to beat US women here.....they just destroyed the world record!
Tori Edwards SUCKS!!! She had enough of a lead given to her by inger miller that she should have crossed the finish line first. Arron had a fast leg, but tori edwards as usual choked!
Really ? she wasn't clean, that's why she fled Sydney in 2000, so I would be saying the real world record at all, it would be Cathy Freeman's 48.62
Lol you don t know this star. Perec is clean, i know her and you ?
