Everybody knows that the men's 400m runners are always 5-7 s faster.

And those that say that a man athlete transing to female doesn't have have an advantage over a biological female athlete has not seen this race.

True.

Our boy Wayde is the best.

I saw him and literally said, out loud "Holy shit!!" I didn't expect him to catch her with that much closing speed. It was ONE corner! That was nuts. Especially when compared to the polish runner in the 2nd leg. What a fun race. Would have LOVED to have run this back in college.

What are you? A snail?

@@G4MBIT Yeah it doesn't make sense if he think she's THAT fast. He's definitely a snail.

She'd probably be at about 500m when I cross the line

@@mitigamespro8757 hyperbole much?

@@mitigamespro8757 you are missing the point. The polish woman runs 50.5 seconds in the 400m which is faster than 95% of the people watching this video

Right

I’m sure some people will think of something else when they hear competing with 7 men 😅

@cyoungrun1 Could you enlighten me why this was a dumb event?

@cyoungrun1 But.... isn't this a fair game for every participating team? Each team has two BMX(female) and two Nascar(men). Every participating members of the teams cover the same distances to finish a 1.6km distance. Its just a matter of tactical choice each team makes as to when to deploy the BMX or the Nascar. Besides, the Polish did better than some other teams that used the conventional tactics.

cyoungrun1 THATS NOT THE POINT christ you really are a moron aren’t you?

@Busytillimrich can't agree less. Oh, btw who's side are you?

This . Soon you will see mixed foot socker. What a stupidity.

Danny Su 😹

You sir deserve a medal for this. LOL

K Gehringer Like Jamaica don’t use steroids.

@K Gehringer if everyone uses it, technicaly its fair

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Me too lol 🍒🇺🇸

I came here for this reason!

Me Too!

Singer1234 Singer yeah. The 2nd dude barely made a lead which is why they got 5th. Which isnt even that bad

It was a gamble which didn't pay off. The athletes male, weren't in peak condition so they put them up front. The women were easily the fastest of the women, but putting them last was a bad idea. At that level, every small detail matters. The 1st runner needs to be a specialist 400m as that person has to run the big ellipse. The 2nd one needs to be a fast bend runner for the 100 m curve. 3rd one needs to be able to run over 400 m to give the 4th person good lead and smooth baton pass. The safe order is to put . . .m f f m. In a 4x100 m mixed relay, similar strategies are there but the order of the athletes won't matter.

Polish had the lead because that guy was up against all the females lol USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸

I wonder if the anchor managed to get a PR out of it since hanging onto the men's pack likely means going faster than leading the women---just speculating here. Either way, the variety was definitely fun :)

That was a tall order and they almost pulled it off! My hat's off to the Polish women. They brought it!

Michael Cherry's a beast.

Cherry let out meep meep at 8:15

He ain’t even out of breath!

What even was his split

One can never take an event in track & field(especially a relay) too seriously! You've clearly never competed in our sport. That being said, I agree with you completely those Polish, boy are they coming up! Mostly the women though, they're becoming a force/threat.

@MrBadabimBadabum Yeah, do so.

Amazing Polish team🇯🇲

Too serious? This is a World Championship. The culmination of two years of work.

Why not afterall it is a World championship and not a show race it is meant to be taken seriously and that's why here male athletes didnt holdback themselves if it would have been a friendly race or showrace then I don't think male athletes would have gone so harsh on the polish woman athlete...!!!

He’s almost a sub-45 400 guy so he’s definitely blazing most of the time. Can he beat Michael Norman or Rai Benjamin? Probabaly not right now, but he’s gotten more experience since the last 400 Olympic trials from 2016.

He put the Cherry on top

Mans ran her down like it was NOTHING 💀

@@zaynes5094 discredit why..

@@no.5179 why do you look like that 😭

Normally, the mixed relay is run (M,F,F,M) the Polish team thought by running (M,M,F,F) they would get an insurmountable lead that couldn’t be overcome, but as you can see their strategy didn’t work. Note: the relay race can be run in any order.

Quedo en mal orden los polacos

Heroic? Stupidity it is.

​@michaell8722 Since March 2022, team members have to run in the order man-woman-man-woman

She technically didn't win the medal, the US team technically won the medal/s. Without her team she wouldn't have won and without her the team probably could have won especially with Michael Cherry

alan fieller can you stop discrediting her? regardless of your technicalities, she still won that gold medal after giving birth. just be proud of her

I'm certainly in awe. I stubbed my toe and had to stop jogging for a week but I increased my thumb reflexes for my video games.

I love that gal Alison is awesome much love from South Africa

and Shelly-Ann...the mothers are doing their thing

Poland finished 5th what was so great about their performance

@@jugganuat6440 LMFAO

@@jugganuat6440 I think he was talking about the U.S but he got a little confused you know lol

The only problem is if you want to win, the order should be male-female-female-male. As Poland showed here, the female anchor will get runned down even with a 30 meter lead. Any team with a female anchor in these mixed relay races are at a disadvantage. That's why most teams put a male on anchor.

Kudos

Girls need more work

🤣

Terrible

it only good since they started at front

This tactic would have worked if the 1st leg runner (Witold Suwara) and the 3rd leg runner (Iga Baumgart) had performed better. Justyna Święty (the Polish anchor) ran really well (50.1)

lmaoooo

@@alialibaba1886 She should’ve been first. I would’ve had the slower female (who anchored), then the guy, then girl (who ran 3rd) should’ve switched so she was the anchor. She was the faster of the two female runners.

@@zaynes5094 Sorry, but you are wrong. Justyna Święty (the Polish anchor) ran faster than Iga Baumgart (the 3rd leg runner). In fact only Salwa Eid Naser and Courtney Okolo had better split times than Justyna.

@@alialibaba1886 No, You miss my point; I meant to say that what they should’ve done was have he faster runner Justyna (the anchor) been before Iga Baumgart. So have the fastest male open with the second being the fastest female and then they could’ve had more of a lead and have the last two just try to hold as long as they can.

This will spread to other racing events in the Olympics. Swimming for sure.

@@gurujr There is already an event in swimming: medley relay: 4 x 100m - men, women and mixed. Mixed is the most spectacular of all!

Trans inclusion NOW!

I think it's stupid.

@@ExpressiveBeats really why? Another way to be competitive if u ask me!

Cherry burning her was the stand out moment u right

That was not a run It was completely obliteration.... Woman sports are absolutely laughable at times

@@yaboyfrresh Women's T&F is very enjoyable to watch, so long as it's just women vs women. My daughter does HS T&F, and the meets are pretty great....sometimes.

​@@yaboyfrreshShe ran 400m in 50 seconds and cherry (the Guy) ran 400m in 45 seconds. Both are really fast for being a woman and a man, and both of them are much faster than the average person

​@@yaboyfrreshit wasn't that great for all those man. Remember she finished 5th, so she was before 3 other guys 😊

Polish man dusted Felix.

@@nightstarmusic7 Polish man was sprinting fast trying to get as much advantage as possible for his female runners, Felix was just keeping pace but yes you've discovered that men are faster than women lol

@@erval9 do not think Felix ever just keeps pace...no way.

@@erval9 your post is 👌 perfect.

@@nightstarmusic7, not really. If he had indeed done that, he would have got a 6 or 7 second lead over Allyson Felix in the second leg. As it turned out, it was just about 2-3 seconds. No way the next two female runners would be able to preserve that lead against a female-male combo in the next two legs.

Not sure you got the memo but Poland finished 5th

It’s not because you are giving athletes who wouldn’t otherwise have a strong enough team to qualify, a chance to compete.

Actually it doesn't have to be. Eventually a team will go for the riskier move and win. Remember they are other factors involved. Like getting a good start, handoffs and not having an injury. I think it's only a matter of time before a team takes that gamble and win. I also wonder if a six foot woman would have an advantage. Think about it the reason why men are faster is because on average they tend to be taller

This event makes clear one thing women don’t have the physical abilities that men have and history confirms that so it really doesn’t matter if a women is taller or not she Will still get walked down like these polish women

Dude from Great Britain was like I might not get a medal but I refuse to lose to the polish women

No one is talking about bout them. They deserve better praises

​

Yeah they tried it i cant blame them they went for it 😆

@yellow Arrow and you just 'imbarassed' yourself by not knowing how to spell embarrassed

@yellow Arrow are you meant to be the local nonce

lol

Ahah Poland took a big L. Such an embrassement. Worse than Auschwitz being the most visited place in Poland

If Poland had arranged the race like the others they wouldn't have had a lead to begin with. The only way their out of shape male runners could compete was to gain time on the all female leg. Of course Poland was going to get passed its just a matter of how many would.

That dude just smoked Allison like nothing

Monica Matos agreed and Michael is my absolute favorite runner by far

Thank you for not being mean like the other men in the comments

If the 3rd runner for Poland ran like the 4th woman, Poland could have won at least bronze medal.

Rafał Omelko is not that unknown, he was in the Polish team that broke the World Record at the World Indoor Championships in Birmingham. Allyson Felix ran here really well, she had a split time of 50.4. Most men can't run that fast. So Allyson would beat any average dude. The same can be said about Justyna Święty (the Polish anchor) - she had a split time of 50.1.

@@johnlironix2184You’re only helping their argument. This isn’t about ‘most men.’ this is about men the women would be competing against. 🤦🏾‍♀️ And those are not ‘average guys.’

Anas was very very good

Anyway we did well,it was seasonal best run

Anas ran with 7 other world athletes but also gave his best ..but 2nd leg was very poor .. 😞

no they didn't, look 6:19

Very.

Why would they make the woman go last that just undid all their efforts and they didn’t even make podium...

@@rnsw4572 It doesn't matter if she went last or second or third, their overall time is their overall time. It wouldn't change just by changing the order. Every team eventually has 2+2 athletes, the order is irrelevant. The only thing they did was make the race more interesting to watch.

@@rnsw4572 true, it they would put men, they have a chance even in 5th place.

Those details make it interesting

He should thank her, people noticed him because of her.

Yeah! Justyna Święty-Ersetic is very great. Look for her leg at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z6ejbKmBqqjFmoE.html

@mark anthony so? Men run faster than women, nobody ever questioned that lmao

Her knowing that she was against all men definitely pushed her which is great

TheDarkNoVa Those transgender female athletes and their advocates do despite the fact that they are post pubescent genetic males that have undergone hormone therapy. 🤔

@@NovaTheDark the guys who change their gender to compete with women and then dominate their sport will beg to differ. Apparently their is no advantage when it suits them.

Because he just came out of nowhere out of that corner. You think she is going fast, which she is don't get me wrong, and then all of a sudden you see him and you just think "wow"

Yeah that camera angle is legit. Very impressive.

Rooney didn't make the individual so I guess the UK thing is to put him on the relay. I don't know too much about the UK runners though.

I noticed that too.

Rooney is so overrated and shit.

@@chrismoren1341 I wouldn't call a guy who ran a 44.45 400m shit

Chris Morén I meme over Rooney lol. He’s such a meme

​@treptune6535 i dont think they're being hateful towards the Polish team ... on the contrary almost everyone is saying g that their tactics made the race interesting .... as in make it widely obvious that this all idea that men and women are equal physically is BS. Could it be, they made it on purpose? 1 man vs 7 women made a 20 or 30 Mt gap. 1 woman vs 7 men (starting with a big gap) ... well ... 5th place.

It’s just amazing to see how powerful those men are to be able to close such a large gap. Don’t think that method could ever work though. Men to start and finish

Dat was a epic call rite there

How was it awsome when they just crushed her? She wanted to show off and it didnt work.

no, it's not you're just asking to lose.

Lmao, that praising felt so forced how weak are women to men, even the last guy got passed her 🐸

lol Poland finished 5th what was great about their accomplishment

What about second, third and forth weren’t they also brave

@Treptune tbh, I think it worked because it is still their national record. Its just that indivisually their first runner(male with males) and third runner(female with females) both just arent the best. I mean their times are still very respectable but just not good enoigh for a medal indivisually. I would argue the strategy was a success as it did improve the team's time. Simply, Poland were not going to get a better time woth any other combination. The reason being they managed to get a very quick inside lane in 2nd leg and easy takeovers from 3rd and 4th leg as they were alone and in the inside as opposed to some of the mess that Brazil, India had in those takeovers.

Your kidding. Seeing men just come home so easily over the top of women. Thrill. Really.

I agree with the other comment ... you must be joking ... 😂😂😂😂

Thank you that was beautiful to say!!! Made my day😍
