I admire Gail..she had a disease in her feet and they said she would never run again but look at her fly🔥🔥🔥
I couldn't agree more! I met her as a teenager. She and Jackie Joyner Kersey were really encouraging to mu track teem in East St. Louis.
Exactly. Doctors said she wouldn’t… she said “hold my Olympic gold medal please, and watch.
I love track and field. It's a no contact sport and I myself ran cross country and track in high school. I love to see the American women run. Track and Field is the best at night in the spring and summer time.
I will be the first to agree. She looks beautiful.
@Prins Ricky stfu
The American women have such winning history when it comes to this event most times
Did they keep the gold medal from this even though the USA had MJ running.
Ingalls Miller is the daughter of Jamaica's 1968 olympic silver medal the honorable Lennox Miller . Respect .
Watching this race now is as exciting as it was back in 1997.
Inger Miller is an unsung medal-winning U.S. Track and Field star. Props to the USA for showing up and showing out. This 4x100 team with Chryste Gaines and Marion Jones was spectacular! A record-breaking 4x100 win for the 1997 World Champions!
No marion jones was drug not gold they usa not won there no list.Marion was jail by her husband faul.Jamaica won gold leader that why bad news damn .
GAIL DEVER IS THE GREATEST QUEEN OF HURDLES!!💖💖💖💖💖💖
OMG.
I love Gail Devers.
Legendary but jinxed at the Lympics as clear fave for 100m hurdles
Totally agree
Facts! I’m so sad she had issues in the Olympics, as, she deserves gold in that event, if nothing else!
Yea Gail made the hurdles made everybody watch that race
Gail is my fiancé cousin!!! She is the best and super sweet in person!!!!!
She’s always one of the greatest female sprinters, ever! She and SAFP have a very similar running style, and they’re both running fast times at ages much older than others. She still ran a sub 7-second 60M in her 30’s…that’s unheard of! Amazing woman!
@@stevie586 Yup..she was great, but SAFP have surpassed her and left her FAR behind now.
There is no comparison. They don't sit t the same table anymore!💥
@@enigmaticgenius7717 I disagree with you! So much time has gone by and of course people are much faster today due to training, diet, track technology, shoe technology, etc. However, Ashford was far more dominant than SAFP! Let’s not forget, she had not one, but TWO world records…something SAFP has never had. Also, something folks need to understand about people like SAFP…she is a championship runner. In other words, SAFP loses races tons, then wins the championships. Evelyn simply always won her races, then turned around and won the championships as well.
Obviously, SAFP had more medals (which is another thing…Ashford was robbed of ability to race some events due to political reasons and boycotting), but, I believe you need to think again with your claims, because Ashford is one of the absolute greatest in history.
@@stevie586 go get a brain 🧠...
Da fck you are refuting points i never made? #LogicalFallacy!😂
SAFP is GREATER then Gail and that other you've interjected!
Why do you argue without basis? You are using speculation against facts...things that actually happen!
If I did not break my leg when I was 12 being the top prospect in my country, I would be the greatest soccer player ever with all this technology and training...😂🤭
Just stfu forever, please!👌
The Flash!
Never appreciated how gorgeous Gail is until now. What a beauty!
Duh, she fine asf. One of the finest sprinters of all time!!
Let's also appreciate that none of these women are wearing weave or lashes...just pure cocoa beauty.
@@t.w.8174women are running with lashes and weaves and running faster. It doesn’t affect their craft at all. Let’s not use a comment complementing black women to disrespect them.
Gail Devers wore that track out!!! ❤❤
Jamaica and the United states has had decades of sprinting battles!!! Gotta give this small nation, smaller than the state of florida lots of credit for producing world class sprinters, for decades and decades!! Even the ones that dont run for jamaica and runs for united states and canada and Great Britain.... but world class athletes... nation of about maybe 2.6 million ppl
Long time..sprint factory!
Morolake Akinosun run likes Gail Devers.Superb!
Gail Devers 100m Queen of the 90s
Big up Jamaica 🇯🇲 you ran well for that silver medal
No ,jamaica take gold won bec j.m ad woman was drug fast run that she in jail hard accpet.They usa not leader there no list honset bad news dang sad
You know very well nobody knew they came in second. They were way behind US.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ for my all US sisters & all of them who participate... EVERY ONE is gems of sports 🌷
3 southern California high school runners in that race for USA (Gail D-san Diego, Marion J- Thousand Oaks, and Ingrid M-Pasadena)
Inger Millers father Lennox Miller won silver in 1968 Olympics for Jamaica and bronze in 1972
Gail was the girl loved me some Gail devers
noticed exactly what announcer was saying about 'safe handoffs' when the runner slows down to hand off baton.....b/c marion jones definitely slowed down before passing
Inger Miller hit that curve.
That was a young Marion Jones
Gail devers and Ronaldinho splited out when they were born
I love how Gail ran all the way leaning into the tape like it was a world record hundred meter attempt. I have seen many athletes showboat during that last 10m including pulling up like I've seen Carl Lewis even do. To me it is more humble and sportsmanlike.
Please,who has the names of Jamaica quartet player
You will find this information in the description, where I have listed the name of each runner for each team.
❤❤❤fire 🔥 😍
Where was Merlene Ottey?
凄いわ
I'm glad Marion decided to regrow her hair
Weak!!!!!!
Seeing how relay handoffs and other techniques have evolved today, I’m sure if this team were exposed to them, they would’ve easily broken the record. Especially being that they were only .10 seconds off.
Itis this kind of coverage by NBC which has ruined athletics in America. 8 teams in the race and for the entire time the focus is solely on the United States. Viewers want to know more about the competition .
State run media
You damn right. That's the way to do it.
Them nails
I barely recognized a young Marion Jones who looked so masculine here😨
That would be the PEDs.
@@johnq2068 the hair
🥇
Do you happen to have the Men's 100m from Tokyo 1991 World Championships
Yes. Here you go. Enjoy m.th-cam.com/video/5kd6SLgVqqI/w-d-xo.html
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Why no privalova in russian team?
I believe she had switched her training efforts at this point to focus on her chances in the 400, but I may be wrong.
Thigh injury from the indoor season caused her to miss the rest of 97.
She was pretty hot. Nails are scary though! 😬
Damn marion jones lol yikes luckily she grew up and got pretty lol
This was why I hated the Olympics coverage back then by NBC - they only focused on the Americans and no other teams are barely mentioned 😠.
If you think about each team is like that each country is most likely focused on their team
@@ashcash170ify that is NOT the case AT ALL if you watch ANY thing on here in any sports covered by either Aussie's or the Brits, but ESPECIALLY the Australian coverage. NO BIAS AT ALL, EVEN THE SPECTATORS IN SYDNEY OLYMPICS THEY ARE SUCH THAT IF SAY AN UNDERDOG FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY EITHER MEDALS OR WINS AND ITS AN UPSET, THEY ARE TRULY and genuinely happy for them.
@@Parker528 this was the era of American dominance in most sports globally. It’s only normal they focus on what their fans came to see.
EVERY ONE KNOWS WHAT THEY DO TO ALWAYS ON TOP... KARMA IS A.BITCH WHEN IT HITS....
I can't believe Jamaica was second and they were not factored in the commentary!
I.m just thinking the same thing.
Yes jamaica won .Usa lost bec marion was drug full bad news.they team usa was crying lost not won me saw full oh lord very sad
@@stacy-annwilson6110 this was before she began doping
Yeah facts
@@stacy-annwilson6110 as I read your comment my mind went back to my high school days where I experience something similar..... this shouldn't be a surprise to me!
Myself and two other girls were always placed 1st, 2nd. & 3rd whenever we do distance running. One year the school team when to St. Thomas to do cross country. I was placed 3rd. To my disbelief, disappointment and all the other emotions, only the young lady who was placed first was highlighted in devotion that morning, as if all the other points didn't count for the school to win. I will never forget it!
Ottey not in the Jamaican team - why?
Cause it wouldn't matter?!
She sustained an injury during the 200m final a few days earlier.
Do you think Jones was juicing? I do!
Isn't there a disqualification. Marion Jones for her drug
Yes usa lost gold they crying sad .jamaica won they happy won
Not in this race. She lost all medals dating after 2000.
Nope she got a ban from year 2000 not before
Can you imagine being ran down by a woman after taking her pocketbook and getting mauled by those long nails? She doesn't need any mace. l think l would rather die.
I wish merlene ottey was on the anchor leg for Jamaica it would be a real race
No way Ottey makes up that gap.
@@wymple09 Ottey had plenty chances to be great. Shame that she didn't. Certainly not on this day.
When have Marlene ottey came back from behind on a relay in a major competition to win... That woman ran for about 50 years literally.. I can't think of a major competition that she had to come back and win for Jamaica help me out and I'm very serious
Yep that's wishful thinking
@@Haraka111 Interesting you do not mention how Ottey was run down by Miss Torrence, Flo Jo and Miss Devers. She never won a gold metal at an Olympics. Served 2 suspensions for PHD’s. Granted she was an outstanding sprinter. Unfortunately the Americans were better.
Gail Devers' NAILS are health hazards!
I was Always amazed by her nails 😍
@@eliskarahmani4116 I think her nails are dangerous if you approach her...
Mmmmh give me Gwen Torrence instead. I've never been wowed with Gail's sprinting ability. Could I beat her in her prime? Hell no. Gwen was always the stronger, better sprinter. Anchor leg? Gwen Torrence. Gail has to always have a lead, but once other sprinters start chopping away at that lead, she'll choke.
That only happened once and that was the first time she anchored in 93
Other than that she was the backstretch
Agreed! Unfortunately Torrence was just about done by 1997
Cuz come 1999 Worlds and 2000 games Gail was gonna be backstretch but Marion hurt at Worlds and Gail at Games
Totally agree.no slight to Gail she's cool but I always preferred Gwen Torrence' running style and ability more
These biased commentary...wow
Merica! Biased how though? Americans were light years ahead of the competition.
Usa lost they was kick usa cant gold j.m cryin bec she was drug .jamaica they got gold won sad true for usa
This gold medal winning team WAS DISQUALIFIED because of the doping of Marion Jones. What a disgrace!
no, they were not
No they weren’t lol everything she did from 2000+ was disqualified
@@jessi9775 I could be wrong but, one thing that came out of the BALCO probe was that Marion was doping since her high school basketball days? she was still a 🐍 by not admitting to all her doping, which allowed her to keep her "best" performances from '97 - '99. In fact 3 of the 4 on this team were implicated to doping offenses in later cases.
#NoDecency
Christie Gaines was a druglady too.
@@NevaUndaPressure I am not surprised.
HEY, "YOU TUBE" 🥰 I STILL HAVE THIS ON VCR 27YRS. LATER 1997 "WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS" BUT RARELY WATCH📺📼 MS.GAIL DEVERS/MARION JONES/INGER MILLER/CHRISTY GAINES WHERE GREAT "SPRINTERS" AT THAT TIME.
