What is there to misunderstand? Arrogant? Because she's quiet and not flamboyant? She's the type of athlete that young people should look up to. Greatness yet humble.
Absolutely agree with you
Unfortuately in the real world especially in corporate settings, bullies and talkers get all the raises and promotions while the quiet workhourses remain doing Secretarial Jobs. Fortunately Track is only about who gets across the finish line 1st. No power room politics involved. Which might be why it is a sport dominated by Black Athletes.
@@igloozoo3771 black athletes are just more gifted
Agreed 💯
She was like Wilma, à total Natural. With nowadays training, they would run sub 10.60 ❤
I was very fortunate to see this race in person what a day 👍
One of the best women’s Sprinter’s EVER! My idol 😃!!!!
The best
@Glenn Beck first off you just told on yourself.. how do you know how to spot a Tran so accurately... You must like getting your cheeks busted..lol
@ sin sin. Get the fuck out of here arsehole. Youre probably psychiatric. What the fuck do you know about science.
Ashford is one of the best female sprinters of all time,though she doesn't look very strong physically. She is also very humble and down to earth.
The real Olympic queen hands down
Who's the fake Olympic queen... This comment section is on a Willy Wonka level of imagination..

@@jjthoughts9920 your powerless,, an ignorant,, and you're just begging for attention you're like a child that want to be picked up ,,,,
@@jjthoughts9920 tell me the drug flojo used by name..
Tell me the date this drug was found in her system..
Just those two questions.. see what I mean ignorant as fuck
@@sinsin1697 interesting , i'm the child but yet still your throwing a tantrum. You realize i'm using less words to get to my point across. Just goes to show you don't do much critical thinking
Her ability to maintain her form over the last 30 meters was spectacular!
her running style dip and her lean were AWESOME
Evelyn, Merlene, and above all Wilma, were Naturals. Their abilities would bring them with présent training, below 10.55 .❤
Who'd have thought even that at this glorious moment in her career Evelyn Ashford would still be winning Olympic gold eight years later in Barcelona. A true legend in the history of sprinting.
Did she change her name to *GAIL DEVERS⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️*
@@cld_crush_brthers_ultra_ma60 She won gold on the 4x100
@@travisblunt3520 cheers, me ol’ China …………
She is incredible between 70m and 100m, nobody is better...ever!!!!
@Bradley Owusu flo jo is a disgrace
About 30 years ago I had a job at a athletic shoe place as a teen and one night Evelyn Ashford walked right in. I quickly recognized her as she was strolling around and I asked her if she needed some help finding anything. She responded very stoically, "no I'm ok thank you". She was very serious in other words. Like she said she's probably misunderstood and I could see why. I didn't take it seriously though heck I was 17 years old and got to see an Olympian. I did find her attractive by the way.
hahaha, yup she cute. 😁
She has always been beautiful to me
Evelyn completely dominated from 1982 to 86.. Untouchable!
I cannot argue with that.. facts or facts.. well I wouldn't say untouchable.. hikey drexler. And merlene ottey.. would have a lot to say about that statement... But she did have her day in the Sun..can't deny that a Olympic champion is an Olympic champion..
I have her listed above FloJo. FloJo was a flash in the pan just a good season and a half, Ashford was consistently dominant over her entire career.
Evelyn was a "natural" runner and beat Flo Jo many of times until "suddenly" Flo Jo became faster than Evelyn. As a direct result, suspicion of Flo Jo "late" achievements as a sprinter have been controversial. Remember speed is 85-90% God given....only about 10-15% is training, diet etc.
and Evelyn was clean
@Anthony Mcken just a question since you are a psychic.. tell me the drug flow Joe used by name even though flojo is not even in this race... Tell me the date that drug was found in flojo system.. tell me the date flojo had to face a panel tell me the day flojo was serve the suspension... Tell me what 11 drug test in 1988 could not tell me.... I'll make it even easier on you tell me what's flojo favorite breakfast...
@@daw7773 just a question man are you Evelyn ashford's husband.. are you Evelyn ashford's mother.. how the hell do you know if this woman is natural..how the hell do you know if anybody is natural other than yourself... Have you ever injected any athlete.. I'm just asking a question
@@smoothnubian just a serious question.. how do you know who's clean and who's not.. just a question...
Love this woman,.ONE of my favorite of ALL time
She's a LADY. A very beautiful true champion. We still love her in France 🇫🇷🍷🇫🇷🍷🇫🇷🍷💙💙💙 😷Arnold Bourbon Amaral
As an African American female, I cry every time I watch Evelyn compete....Evelyn bypassing the East German in 1988, for some reason reminds me of the Great Jesse Owens winning Berlin Olympics in 1936, the year my Momma was born...Evelyn Ashford had several injuries and gave birth in between 1984 and 1988 Olympics. I wish I could find current interviews of her on TH-cam as a Retired Olympic Multiple Medalist...Flo Jo, may she RIP , received so much more publicity during her time then Evelyn Ashford...Sha' Carri Richardson [Will she make the 2021 U.S. Olympic Track Team?] seems to be styling herself after Flo Jo.
Evelyn's adorable!!! Love that lady :)
Beautiful, classy lady with a huge talent. Can you believe that her time of 10.77 when she set the world record.
10.76
I practiced 440’s and 880’s with her sisters in Track. Their names were Wanda and Eunice Ashford and I ran Cross Country at South Dade High School in Homestead Florida in 1979-1980. Always wondered where they are today. Never got to meet Evelyn- Dang it!!The one thing I do remember was the Length of their legs!!! They both had Incredibly Long Legs!! They looked like they were striding when they ran- Like Effortlessly!! Good Athletes !!!
South Dade Buccaneers. Class of 88
My favorite sprinter. I can watch footage of Evelyn Ashford all day long.
Wow, Puke, I'm surprised you have some taste!
@@borood1188 --LOL, stop acting surprised Bo Rude. You've always known. Welcome back my arch nemesis.
She saw through the media 🤸♀️💫❤️ total queen 👑
it is interesting to see how lean these champs were when compare to days track athletes
4:30 - Describing that Zen-like state of being "in the zone" before the term was ever invented. Man, I do miss seeing her run!
I love the way she says. "Everything's working, feels like nothing." She's definitely a Zen Master!
@ Lloyd Robert. 100% !!! The power of the mind. Its so much more powerful than chemical stimulants AND doesnt have side effects!
My all-time favorite sprinter, from the night I saw her run in 1977 at the Normal Manley games in Kingston Jamaica. She is shy, she never did color commentary, even though I know NBC would have loved to have her.
Here's a taste of what Evelyn might have been like if she had done color commentary: th-cam.com/video/b6onoyHm3Uc/w-d-xo.html
The best to never juice. Ashford was the real thing.
Evelyn is one of the greatest ever and no one talk about here anymore. I get she was shy of the media but come on. She is the most fluid sprinter ever.
Not only am I a greatest fan of Evelyn Ashford as the greatest sprinter. She is humble and never kicked a controversy.
One of my favorite sprinters!
I'm just being introduced to Evelyn Ashford... She's magical... I'm Jamaican but I really admire her talent
wow it’s 2021 and i’m just now discovering her 😳😍🔥
What a nice, humble person
She's humble... Have you ever spent the day with Evelyn Ashford.. have you ever spent one hour with Evelyn Ashford... How the hell do you know if this woman is humble... This comment section is on a Willy Wonka level..
@@sinsin1697 Well, I haven't. I am commenting what I see on TH-cam, that's all. I am not aspiring to being a judge of anyone.
@@MsSlucyna it's just that these comments are so odd to me..I guess because I'm a athlete a masters athlete,,,I'm looking at it from a different perspective... Like when you say humble person and you have never ate lunch with her before..you were only going by with this woman is showing you you don't know this woman.. maybe it's just me... It's just odd
@@MsSlucyna and I apologize for being so aggressive in the first response to your comment.. I'm just a passionate person.. so I apologize if it came across too aggressively..
@@sinsin1697 It's the impression and opinion on the basis of iconic material. Perhaps you take it too seriously while it's just a TH-cam comment of a anonymous person on what can be seen on a screen. It's not meant to evaluate Ms Ashford or anyone. That's how I take it. Perhaps you're right that's superficial a bit.
One of my alltime favourite. : ) Beautiful lady.
My favorite of all time. Pure class and integrity!
Hmm!.....she's an introvert by nature, her husband was 100% correct in protecting her from the media, don't give them the opportunity to misquote and misconstrue. The other side is she's not as well known as other media friendly sprinters! She is the most graceful sprinter of them all!
Beautiful sprinter and human being...
I'm going to just ask you a question that's all this is just a few questions that's all.. you call her a beautiful human being.. have you ever spent a day with Evelyn Ashford...
Do you know anybody that have spent an hour with Evelyn Ashford..
I can understand you saying you're a fan..
What a beautiful human being and you have never even touched her hand..
Look at these comments..
None of these people spend time with Evelyn Ashley you would think that all of them grew up with her.
Psychiatrist are right images control the imagination..
@ sin sin . So you're an incorrigible psycho venturing out to quote psychiatrists not knowing even what the f... you're talkin about.
Ray chose a good one! I’m sure she feels the same way about her husband. As an athlete...Excellent!
My all time favorite! Love her❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for posting this video!!!
Evelyn Ashford, My Chocolate Star...she reminds me of a candy bar...Milky Way.
why?
what a day in the sun for ms ashford. LA'84
That's true this was her day you're absolutely right...
@ sin sin. She pulled off a Jesse Owens repeat.
Evelyn Ashford is a great sprinter.
Evelyn Ashford is the sprinter I always looked up to. Natural powerhouse!
Legendary Evelyn Ashford. 👊🏿
She is the best female athlete that the world has ever seen 👍 Clean and honest ! Love her❤️
Just a question are you Evelyn ashford's husband. Mother or father.. have you ever spent the day with Evelyn Ashford no no no no no have you ever spent a hour with Evelyn ... How the hell do you know if this woman is honest... The imagination in these comment sections are on a Willy Wonka level..
The best. Period. My childhood crush.
@@sinsin1697 YIKES!........no issues here.
@ sin sin. Just a question to you. Infact one that you repeat on Flo Jo. What is the stimulant Evelyn Ashford took? Just fuck off psycho.
Nice to see my dear friend Angela Bailey coming in 5th. RIP You are missed.❤😢
I unknowingly spent months working alongside Mrs. Ashford as a Publix bakery clerk a couple years ago. The woman is a speed demon and such an angel. I only found out about her history because I was talking to a coworker about how fast she works. She's just as peppy and energetic as she was back then. A true hard worker!
Beautiful runner...
Much Appreciation.
the sweetest victory lap
they better give Miss Evelyn her flowers now, she is among the greatest.
From 60m to 100m, Evelyn just pulled away to victory. When you think she's already beaten, she surprised you with her turbo kicks. Same thing with her US Team 4x100m at the Olympics (year?). The FRG Team was already in front in the home straight, but Evelyn Ashford created the finest finishing of all times in the women's relay.
Evelyn was like Wilma !! A NATURAL !!! THEY were our Heroes, in France ❤
Poise, grace and dignity. I love it!
Soldier daughter she always served country with open heart ❤️ thanks to her from bottom of heart !
An incredible sprinter. One of the greatest of all time. Would've won a gold medal in 1980 if the US had competed.
she is my all-time favorite women's sprinter
crayz fınısh....great evelyn...I love you......
Look at her, small, beautiful, pure and graceful. One of the greatest athelets in our time.
If you eliminate the 1980 U.S boycott .
Flo Jo's Wonder Woman performance in 1988.
Evelyn Ashford is a three time Olympic 100 meter/4x100 meter relay gold medalist!
Dam!
You know you are a great one when you're the hot topic in a video's comment section that you're not even in! Baby that's legendary! 😂
I would love to meet Ms Ashford she is a phenomenal athlete who definitely deserves all her flowers 🌹 ❤️
One of my favorite athletes ever!
Look at these Young Ladies !! No Artificial Muscles !! Evelyn, like Wilma, were Naturals ❤
Kool God Bless You
She should've gotten more credit
Your a hero, Evelyne.God bless you.❤️👍
Our people are so proud of her
She was so fast and I was amazed by all the performances she accomplished throughout her career!! Deeply missed. Hugs from Austria 2023

Eveyln Ashford my all time female sprinter.
My all time favorite female sprinter!!!
Love this woman
Better than... great smile and her reaction is natural. Hall of Fame runner and person. Hope she's doing well
I WOULD LOVE TO MEET EVELYN ASHFORD . I LIKED FLO JO BUT EVELYN ASHFORD WAS ALWAYS #1 IN MY BOOK AND DESERVES TO HAVE A STADIUM NAMED IN HER HONOR...SHE WAS GREAT AND FAST .....
I'm still in love with Evelyn...I hope my wifey doesn't see this 😂
You & I both, my man 😅😅
Class all day long, for about 20 years. What's not to love?
Same
G P, I think she will be okay. 😅
@@KeepSmiling447 🤔
She was in deed a great athlete and great woman.
Ottey-page was 6'1 .... Damn that's a lotta woman.
Evelin es preciosa
Evelyn Ashford true legend 😅😊❤❤❤❤❤
Evelyn's statement at the 5:03 mark of her interview is a powerful, but dubious endorsement of the sensation of sprinting for her when it all meshes perfectly. But hey, you never can guess what another person feels inside their consciousness.
She is a National Treasure
.
Her silver in 88 was just as Awesome, fighting for it when Flo Jo won in 10.54 and didnt run through the line
Evelyn Ashford. Domino la velocidad en los últimos de los 70s . Que decir los 80s . Flo jo . Bi siquiera figuraba . Sus grandes rivales eran las alemanas orientales. Marlin Gorhr, Marita Koch
simply d best ...as Tina sings
Reading these comments you would think that these people grew up with Evelyn Ashford... She's an absolute legend.. but psychiatrist are absolutely right.. control the image and you control the human... Put on some soft music. Soft words and all of a sudden now people think they grew up with this person...
Evelyn Ashford a true legend. Clean no drugs.🇯🇲
All hail the QUEEN!!! What a career. Adored by millions around the world.
She Still the fastest ever (for me).-
I like it gold en women... 🥰😍😘🐎💐
Flo/Jo couldn't get near her until her body transformation 87/88 ? Ashford was so fast 60 and 100 metres .
😂
Spare a thought for those photographers who have to go sprint after Evelyn while she jogged waving to the audience. 🤣
3:05 probably the greatest response I've ever heard 😌
Shacarri has finishing speed like Evelyn
Special lady
So annoying that politics denied us Ashford v Gohr at the Olympics at their peaks.
Evelyn, la velocista natural piu' grande al mondo insieme a Marlene
