Nice voice by the commentator

😮ovett was by far the best 1500 and dream mile runner ever

An unbelievable athlete

That aouita race to the line, epic!

This quality of sports casting for Track & Field is long gone...Ed Moses is wilting!!!! Goosebumps

Amazing performance , gutsy finish , it's tremendously inspiring watching him come from so far back , he had a great strategy laying back and saving the gas for the end , great lesson for life itself , pace yourself , I believe the good Lord Jesus had his hand on his shoulder and gave him the strength to pull it off !!

Ovett the greatest

I wasn't born until the mid 70's but am a big fan of Lillian nevertheless,after learning about her many years ago.That anchor leg in the relay still astounds me every time I see it,what a terrible tragedy that she left this world at such a young age.RIP Lillian.

Who is the commentator?

I remember cheering Coe's win in 1980. I was 9. It still gives me goosebumps to watch it now.😊 What a runner. He was just so thrilling to watch.

Every time I watch this, I’m afraid Wottle won’t quite make it to the line first, but he always wins.

The 332.19 was brilliant walker at his best he even came back at coe round the bend ,at Zurich with the brilliant commentary by ron Pickering. World record pace with walker, scott and delise . fantastic race

Kochs records, are "Astonishing", for an obvious bloody reason 😂

Didn't think the quality of photography & live TV was that bad.Might have been taped off the screen I suppose?

Looking back I think she cheated

Lol British commentators putting down a British athlete. No surprise this country is going down the shitter

When athletics commanded as much attention as football and test cricket. Glory days..

I wonder what times the guy of this era could have run with wavelight technology.

Cram at his best was phenomenal 👍

Though never quite achieving greatness in individual events, put a relay vest on Kriss Akabusi and it was worth 20yards to the team, and to chase down the individual 400m champion was incredible. This performance cemented all four's positions in the hearts of British athletics fans.

Exactly how the Event is supposed to go hop step & jump he just glided no jerky movements technique was absolutely Textbook! I hear he could Powerclean about 150kg which for someone about 70kg like him is phenomenal so his power to weight ratio was outstanding

Foi uma vitória sensacional!👏👏👏

Tom Byers pacemaking was incredibly good ,this was another lap 3 mistake like Zurich by Coe 3 sec ahead , last lap could of been 3.44 .

1977 to 81 simply the best .. loved it

"He loves to race, but there's no-one left to race against". Bone-chilling stuff from the late, great David Coleman.

Alan Wells was one of my heroes growing up 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Fastest 'white' relay for 30 years..

I have close words about the athletes from the USA 4by 400 mile relay team of the Mexico Olympics. Every member ran mid 44 seconds or better. Unheard of back then, highly respected today…

Heya @AthletixStuffChannel I absolutely love this video, this is my grandad on the right hand side at the beginning of the video. I wanted to enquire about using this video as his story forms part of my brand story! Please let me know how to reach out to you!

They best 4x400 team ever. What a great performance. 👍🇺🇲

it about time we got world beaters now we got one

Heroic!! Well done sir!!

A few comments. First leg for Kenya was by Charles Asati, who actually ran ~0.6 sec faster than Matthews. The latter did not have his best Olympics here, won the individual 400m run four years later at Munich. Politics aside, if Tommie Smith had been on the US team (in place of Vince Matthews), their final time would have been under 2:55. Smith was perhaps the greatest 400 m runner ever. In 1966, he beat Lee Evans head to head at San Jose; Evans was the best runner in 67 and 68, Smith set a wR in that race. At the end of the 1966 season, Smith took down Wendell Mottley in London. Mottley had been setting the world on fire that year, but lost to Smith - probably my all-time favorite runner.

A phenomenal runner, was awesome getting to see him race

Not being Brittish I still see this as the best 4*400 race I have ever seen. I hope the team is still treated as heroes. They all deserve it.

Well’s doesn’t even use blocks….

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🫡👍

Apart from the obvious Brit glory, I forever remember Straub's reaction in this race. As he crosses the line he feels like has won the Earth by getting 2nd! So he had: it was incredibly gutsy to go for it 600m out, and his best hope beforehand was orobably to beat 'the rest' and get bronze, but when he'd split the big two he felt 'wow'!

He is so fast! Apparently could run 10.2 in the 100m.

Everyone wrote him off they said ... obviously didn't know the man , at all

Cram/Coe /Ovett all great . But Cram beat Cruz over 800m and Aquita over 1500m when the later were at their best . Coe lost to Cruz in 1984 over 800m. Never met Aquita (avoided him ) For me Cram was a combination of Coe and Ovett. A great racer like the later and a winner against the clock like the later.

Life in UK students 👀

The very epitome of being in the zone...... I can't imagine how that must feel, such grace and apparently effortless accomplishment. And, a gentleman

Hines movement just before the gun?

Round it up 🤔

He barely made it throu the semis and prelims Felt sick disnt want to run. Yet he ran the best 800 ever ran. Perfect splits. This is what i call runners illusion. He doesn't really speed up. it's just that everyone else slowed way down

One of the best achievements in athletics ever seen.... America were at the time unbeaten since 1936 Olympics......so for a group of European level athletes and especially a 200m runner and a hurdler in the anchor leg as well..... tactics, friendship and sheer talent shine through......just immense!!!

most natural runner I've seen Coe

most natural runner I've seen

That is Natalie Temu .....and not Kipchoge K. First Olympic gold medal for Kenya in Mexco city.
