42.9! That man by himself ran faster than most hs, some college, AND some pro women’s 4x100m relays!! That’s insane. Mike was MOVING coming home.
Ish Robbins exactly💪🏾
That world record got CRUSHED. Almost a second and a half.
That team was incredible one can only wonder what would have been if there was someone challenging them...Im glad I got to see this when it happened. I dont think we'll see another group like this..Thanks Gentlemen
I liked the 1998 Goodwill Games team better, but there were two drug cheats on that team
@@gazzelle4 I'm only familiar with Pettigrew using banned substances. Who was the other doper?
@@synchronium24 Both of the Harrison twins tested positive.
@@gezzarandom ty
How would you like to run 43.2 and be 2nd best on your team
I love when they were all trying to celebrate at the end of their race and Michael Johnson had to put his hands on his knees for a second like "I'm tired." lol
🤣
lmao Michael's like "hey guys I just ran 42.9 gimme a sec"
A 5 and a half second gap is just insane.
Unbelievable quartet. Special mention to Reynolds and his impressive stride.
Congratulations to Kenya for winning a silver medal against the best ever 4x400m relay team.
Can you think of a better team than Valmon, Quincy Watts, Butch Reynolds, Michael Johnson in history? Unbelievable team.
The UCLA team with Steve Lewis and Danny Everett was pretty bad ass...
@@larryguinee6344 Agree. The team featured in this video was obviously incredible, but replace the first leg with Lewis or Everett (not sure if he was still competing in 1993?) and it would have been slightly better. It would have been 3 former Olympic Gold medalists in the event, one of which held the WR at the time, and the last member of the team "only" won a silver medal in '88 and held the WR himself for 11 years until it was broken by the guy who ran anchor.
4:54 Usually these kinds of predictions don't age well. Butch's has held up and then some, as the record currently stands 27 years later.
NEVER seen anyone run through the line THAT FAST before!!! GODDAMN!!
And Butch Reynolds was right almost 30 years later still no one is broken it. The only team that came close was 2008 with Lashawn Merritt 44 flat Angelo Taylor 43.9 David Neville 44.1, Jeremy Warner 43.2.
I remember seeing this relay, 10years old. A Stadium, so dead silent you could hear the Grass grow exploding into so much cheering with the start. And in top a fabulous Bronze for Germany.
In 2000 Sydney Olympics 4 × 400 m U.S. relay team was stripped of their medals after Pettigrew admitted that he had used drugs during that time.
I'm sure at that time in the World championship in Stuttgart 93 , he was also a cheater runner, not only him but most Athletes, they were robots, it's only a question of time , truth will be revealed, especially with the blood banks ، the blood of the Athletes it's still stored and preserved for later use to catch the cheaters 😉.
This record stands to this day. Now the longest standing mens track record. Just unbelievable. Johnson ran 42.91 that's insane. Butch Reynolds did 43.36. Just unreal. This record could still be standing in 2033.
That's highly unlikely. I mean it could be, but it probably won't be.
@@timmytheinventor4746 already stood 29 years, why not another 11?
@@Sough The 3 men who made the U.S team this year all have PBs under 44 seconds. And they're getting faster. That's why.
@@timmytheinventor4746 We're still waiting. Andrew Valmon coached my son several years at one of his summer camps. First run on the 40 my son ran just barely over 4.6. Then I watched coach Valmon whisper something to him. Next time he ran a sub 4.4. It's now been 31 years. I'm not saying it'll never be broken but this has now passed Lee Evans 400 meter world record from '68 which I believe stood a little over 20 years as a seismic event in the world of human endeavers.
💯
He said they wanted to put this record 20years into so they did!
What a group. Greatness!
Kinda silly considering the best of the best in the world all eating dust after 2 legs. With still the fastest two from USA to even take the baton.
Awesome.
This is Secretariat in 1973 at the Belmont. "Nuff Said.......
Now 28 year old record. I’m a huge fan and study of track and field. Ran when I was young. Not sure this record can or will be broken in this lifetime. Valmon at 44.7 was a good opener, but not exceptional. Watts was very solid, then you have Butch and MJ with blistering legs and owners of the two best splits in history. To this day the 2nd and 3rd best mark individually. MJ far and away the greatest 400m runner of all time. Hell it took even MJ years to break Butch’s original 43.29 record.
This time was actually broken in 1998 but got removed when two of the members popped for dopping. Jeremy Wariner has the second fastest split with 42.93 and the only other person besides MJ to go under 43 on a split. He holds 3 of the top 6 splits in history. Just imagine if Reynolds had started (43.29 record for years), handed to Watts (43.1 best split and 3rd all time), hands to Wariner (42.93 Split and 2nd of all time), and hands to MJ for a 42.91 second anchor. 2:52.23 Literally would not be broken for half a century at least.

I didn’t know the record had actually been broken and then removed for violations. Good to know, thank you.
I’d of bet my left leg that it would of taken decades at least to break that record, dam! The quad you mentioned would set an amazing time if they could have run together. I love the 400 and 4x400. That’s a tough ass race! I’m curious to see what WVN will do coming up soon In Tokyo. I still can’t believe he broke MJ’s record. I thought it was pretty much unbreakable.
@@kevinhazel3503 Shame. They ALL dope. Otherwise, you wouldn't even BE there, at the top, in the first place.
Still, it is what it is. The biggest scar dripping off the face of athletics isn't doping itself, but the idleness and and randomness of exposures.
800m 1;28.03 (don't know Valmon and Watts time)
1200m 2;11.36 (Reynolds 43.33 well done)
1600m 2;54.29 (Johnson 42.93 amazing)
Here are the splits as reported by TRACK & FIELD NEWS:
Andrew Valmon - 44.5
Quincy Watts - 43.6
Butch Reynolds - 43.23
Michael Johnson - 42.91
4:28 I know this video is about the track team, but don't sleep on how far Mark Jones has come in his broadcast career since these days.
42.9 split.
!
Thank Goodness the playing field is now level. One would think is only one Country in the Race!
43.57 average leg. A wow moment. But could actually be broken at worlds in 2023 or in Paris 2024.
This is one record I cannot see being broken in my lifetime. It is hard to assemble a team of 4 fast 400 runners. This is the last one standing MJ.
Dallas, Texas with the 42.9
Just Think, He Never Made It To The State Meet During His Tenure At Skyline. There Were So Many Horses From 100-400m At That Time.
If the 400 split was correct, that Valmon ran 44.7, then Quincy ran 43.3, not 43.7. I would have loved to see MJ run an 800.
Please note that I have included all of the splits in the video description, as reported in TRACK AND FIELD NEWS. Here are the official splits for the U.S. team:
Andrew Valmon - 44.5
Quincy Watts - 43.6
Butch Reynolds - 43.23
Michael Johnson - 42.91
Stacked
Love the commentary, youd think there wasnt anyone else in the race, or that it was a world champs final! Who got the silver and bronze? Oh wait they dont care cuz their from the US 🙄
@Faustin Dutoy Bouley yeah I might, wudnt hav much competition if there all like that wud I lol
Listen to the crowd
Butch Reynolds had flow.
Brilliant performance by the Americans especially Michael Johnson. However, this is a pathetic commentary (sadly typical for American broadcasters). At least say who finished second and third. David Coleman showed you can praise the USA and remember who were second and third th-cam.com/video/IobkzZLDZ9I/w-d-xo.html Odd there was seems to be no American commentary from 1991 uploaded!
I swear Kenya can do better...Were it not for the inexpirience of this dudes.... Really can.... wow.. Big boyz
No Kenyan has run faster than 44.20.
Today, if they get close to eve 300 they act like they 'shook up the world'. That's a long way from 2:54.29 ;>)
I feel like we will have a team that could get close or even beat it this year
compare this video to the one here..th-cam.com/video/VL4vPXqMe0k/w-d-xo.html same race but a UK based tv station. . you could hardly tell michael johsnon was even in it..lol.
