GREAT RUN 🇧🇸 BAHAMAS HAPPY BIRTHDAY 46 YEARS 🎊🌻🎉

To be fair the Olympic champion Merritt had run a great opening leg. Angel Taylor was terrible like usual so Neville then Wariner brought it home

@@isaz597 How the Hell angelo Taylor keep making 4 x 400 finals and have mediocre efforts?

Each man for the US did great no leads dropped it took all of them to run 2 : 55

@@isaz597 Taylor's leg (43.98) was the second fastest on the team. Merritt of course ran the long lead-off leg and still ran 44.0. Neville was actually the slowest at 44.17. So how was Taylor "terrible?"

Warner was the smoothest 400m man ever!

@@Bronxxxnyc he was geneticaly gifted to run the 400 i feel. long wiry legs, strong but not bulky upper body. perfect blend of sprinter strength and middle distance leanness.

Russ Hartman I recall watching him at during Athens as a kid and wondering “How is he running so fast so easily?”

@@oldfrend almost same build as Wayde Van Niekerk, dont you think ?

sean maponga Wariner is just slightly leaner but yeah

Screw Russia.

The 3 medal winners in the 400 and the 400 hurdles winner. It was absolutely expected.

@@jasentracy8711 it always is expected 4x400m is normally USA v the clock and the rest fight for silver and bronze

I agree 👍😉

@@ScorpioMojo Lady?

Bias haha

@@alansamuel2454 I think he's referring to Sue Barker.

@@stevebbuk Ohh. Got it, thanks.

Bret Rogers now a bronze as the Russians were stripped for doping

Bret Rogers lol, what fucking commentary were you listening to? Did you dub your own one over the top of the real one? I did not hear anything of the like

BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION commentary talks mostly about BRITISH team to BRITISH audience shocker. They talked plenty about the US team and others in fact and did not say how brilliant 4th place was, they said they were never in the race. You some speshul kid let on the internet between meds?

ynotnilknarf39 yes, I heard the Brit commentary and the were not really gushing about a fourth place. I can only agree with Mr Herold’s opinion here lol

I may be biased as a Brit and always watch BBC coverage, but when I have the misfortune to watch any other coverage on KZfaq it is always inferior to BBC. Although BBC focus on British athletes, they do a great job of commentating on all teams and providing excellent insight and analysis. All other commentary seems to ignore every nation apart form their own.

Matthew Boling you mean?

well Mtthew will have to show his mettle in 2022. This season was fairly average for him - didn't really show his capability

He should do 200 400. Or 400 long jump. Kid jumps 27ft without training for it. We have 100 and 200 talent. He should be smart and go 400. Then in next world olympics his is 27 he should be at his peak.

The anchor for russia eventually gpt banned from athletics

Dopped up and still couldn't beat the USA.

Martyn Rooney anchoring for GBR had his best ever 43.7 split that night, I guarantee he would have smoked a drug-free Denis Alexeev.

no, this was only 2008 lol. this was their first olympics.

They spent a year at the University of Florida before turning pro.

Meechooika, LOL! I've been saying this for years. When you think Belgium 400 meters, the only name that comes to mind is Borlee. There was one Olympics or World Championships where there were 3 Borlee brothers, although the 3rd isn't nearly as good as Jonathan or Kevin.

@@thomasmckenzie4584 dylan borlee

Thank you!

Yeah but he was on PEDs

doping

@@reallifehack4790 пожиратели допинга "в лечебных целях" заняли первое место

russian anchor banned for doping and had the team disqualified from this race.

and now there are 3 of them Borlee brothers in the national relay team

Drugs wore off?

@@couch.patati-patata he switched coaches and shouldn't have.

@@couch.patati-patata 🙄 LIES you tell!

Shouldn’t have left Clyde Hart.

if we had a better second and third leg that year, they may have gone for the world record.

@@kevinhazel3503 the second leg was fine. Angelo Taylor ran many races and was the oldest on the team. He was the 400 hurdles champion, so he ran many races that year.

@@kendallt506 So you don't think if they had a slightly faster and younger 400m runner they couldn't have broke the record?

@@kevinhazel3503: and if we (another country, not U.S.) had had 4 faster guys we might have won it

The anchor walked across the line

@@aaronkoeppe9057 Unbelievable! That was bad. Wow. Now I am going to be looking for previous runs to see how they did.

They did their best

The team mates destroyed his hardwork

Lmao 😂 Kmt

He had a great career as GB’s anchorman. Sadly his only Olympic medal couldn’t be relished in the moment because of the Russian cheating scandal

in my point of view, he did cut in and run the curve on lane 1. the first curve ends at 5:13 where the blue suit guys are at. then he smoothly cuts in till the second curve (I think the curve starts at 5:23).

@@jaykim9969 yeah it might have just been how I was looking at it

Taylor ran the cut-over perfectly. You should never cut in early from the outside lanes because that adds to the overall distance run. Basic geometry. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. He's supposed to run a straight line from his lane directly to lane 1 as it starts at the corner. In other 4x4's I've seen immediate cut-overs and it shows a lack of coaching or understanding of distance.

Tammie Crutcher What the fuck does that mean

ay o they ran very well....great job

well, usually but they don't win 'em all

Usually but not always, look at 2012

both men & women

Drugs much

Sighs in Jamaican

@@julisiadixon557 butthurt much? (The answer is yes)

usually yes - but whenever you get cocky you know what happens! A team of champion individuals sometimes loses to a champion team. I've watched for 50 years and they've lost several that they shouldn't

Jeremy Wariner was on it.

I wonder why?

commentator actually said it before the race, that they have they poorest runner on the anchor who runs just outside 46 sec

sean maponga which is still faster than 99.999% of people could/will ever run 400m. It’s all relative. He didn’t throw it away the other runners were faster

The Borlees, especially Kevin, have been robbed of so many medals because of no depth on their team. Belgium would be nowhere in this relay without them.

Lmao I ran only 54 back in high school and I had the same feeling

How come?

Um...Angelo Taylor ran the 2nd leg in this race. (Did you not watch the intro, the race, or are you just dense?)

@@christansdad Damn u cold blooded. Factual but cold blooded

What do you mean these are one offs?

@@leos8977 special breds, they are like Michael Jordan, Michael Phillips, Wayne Gretzky, Simone Biles, Christian Ronaldo, Serena Williams and a few more above great athletes, almost flawless and unstoppable to some extent. That's what I mean!

@@HEAVYCHEVY409 Oh yess I agree. Formidable but I wouldnt say Jackson is untouchable since you also mentioned the Naser and Uibo. But I know what you mean.

@@leos8977 you right Jackson solid but not like the rest

@@HEAVYCHEVY409 agreed as well. Scratch Jackson. Just want to add my 2 cents...everybody wants to crown Sydney Mcglaughlin. In the 400 hurdles... 2 of the last 3 head to heads with Muhammad ended in world records and losses. I do believe she is a stronger open 400 runner. Just saying.

43.6 times 4 isn't 218, it's 174.4

The female American team of 4 × 400 meters runners made a new Olympic record of 3.14 minutes. I mean performance of individual athelete of 1500 and 400 meters race verses combined effort of 4 atheletes.

@@ahmedbaig7279 Math and track are not your strengths.

@@ahmedbaig7279: womens WR is 3.15.17 - U.S.S.R from 1988. USA and East Germany bests are also in the 3.15s, also set in the 1980s

left his coach and lost his direction. And became average

Jamaica always suck in 400m.

@@wesw7241: every Jamaican wants to run 100

He ran 43.7 with them on, got a problem?

Russia never cheats. It's just victim of anti-russian propaganda/

he was very good but couldn't run the times of the very top Americans. His 44.45 PB is only number 4 on Brit list and number 81 all-time in the world

He’s at a natural disadvantage because he’s so tall, getting up to speed from a block start takes more out of him which is why he was such a reliable relay runner. He could more easily conserve all that speed and power for the end. Delivered several clutch medals for Team GB, and this split was actually the fastest he ever ran (43.7)

They’re British announcers obviously. The audience has got to be wondering what’s up with their national team, just as any American would watching NBC
