Athletics Women's 4 x 100m Relay Final Full Replay from the Olympic Stadium at the London 2012 Olympic Games. -- 10 August 2012
Since 1896, athletics has been on the programme of each edition of the Games of the Olympiad. Its presence on the Games programme has allowed its popularity to increase across the world. This popularity was also strengthened by the creation of the IAAF in 1912. Women's events appeared for the first time at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, while the men's programme was standardised as of the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. Although at the beginning women were authorised to participate in only some events, today their programme is almost identical to that of the men.

Felix may not have the best start, but once she is gone, no one wants any part of her!!! She may never qualify in the 100m (ehh again-ish), but she needs to always be a part of that 4x100! Knight and Madison own that turn also. USA will have some tough decisions to make for Rio, because we have got faster 100m open runners who are not fit for the relay, but how can they be denied the spot they have "earned" by doing better in the individual event?

I've watched a lot of track meets at different levels. This is by far the best relay race I have ever seen. The handoffs were textbook, and that's why the ladies were able to run so fast. As fast as the USA was, Jamaica and Ukraine also got around the track at a fast pace. That makes the USA's time even more jaw dropping. When Jeter got that last handoff, I mean it was like some rocket launchers came out of her shoes. She absolutely flew down that last 100.

Tianna between 2:12 and 2:25 displays beautifully the sheer exhilaration of being in an olympic final. She was absolutely pumped! Not arrogant, just confidently primed and ready to do what she, along with the others came there to do after years of preparation. She absolutely smoked that first leg and the rest did the same! Great sight to behold.

I have seen a lot of 4x100 meter relays in my time. I saw my first one in 1968. But this was the finest 4x100 meter relay I have ever seen. The execution was absolutely perfect. They lost no time at all on their passes. I thought the GDR "steroid" record would stand forever but their perfect execution enabled them to remove that phony record from the books, thank God. No one should ever forget this race. You will never see a better executed relay as long as you live.

American relay teams, men and women, always have enormous talent, great athletes all of them. The issue is sometimes those dreaded baton passes. This race was simply spectacular. The hand-offs were flawless and when an American team can get the baton around the track that smoothly gold medals and world records follow. Awesome performance.
