2008 Olympics Women's 4x400m Final

[@sandramadu4977]

This was probably one of the best 4x400 I’ve ever watched. Sanya😮

[@motherofthreeb6337]

1996 Olympic women's 4x400 was more exciting! Both are good, but I think 96 is better. Hope you check it out!

[@HONEEHAZE]

As a former runner and understanding how hard it is to run a 400, I come back to watch this every summer and get chills watching Allyson & Sanya run down Russia to get us to the lead. Amazing watch.

[@davesiow3590]

I was there...the chills when the crowd erupted on that final lap! One of the great Olympic relay races ...

[@cmt51597]

That was really incredible running by Sanya. She made up such a significant gap and in an Olympic final. She plowed through the last 60 meters or so. And she ran hard straight through. This was a memorable squad.

[@ewest8638]

Sanya's performance was very impressive, considering the Russians were doped up

[@superiorGOD1220]

I dont know why i shed tears every time i watch this, This race was unbelievable Allyson wasn't playing she got to work using her blazing sprint speed to put the USA in front and then Sanya had to freaking Dig deep and run like a pack of Lions was after to hawk down the runner to claim 1st place back for the USA this race is what you show kids and tell them this is why you NEVER GIVE UP.

[@imhereforitall9218]

Even though I have watched this time and time again, why on the last leg with Sanya Richards I was pressing my feet like the fake brakes on the passenger side when the driver seems like they are not going to stop? Ha.

[@llongone2]

You can just tell when Sonya takes the baton she is thinking, "Just keep her close. Save your energy. Let her burn out. Then, take her in the final 100m." And that is exactly what she did. Legendary performance.

[@Deelight664]

[@motherofthreeb6337]

This race never gets old.

[@dillonchavez5390]

Firova not dying out in the last 100m shows the advantage doping can give you. But what makes it sad for them (Russia), aside from being stripped of their medals is that the US ladies didn't need to cheat to win and still defeated the doping Russian team.

[@maxineburke8875]

It is great to see Sanya:a Jamaican representing the USA with dignity. Yes she was in beast mode. I agree with that comment. I saw her run at the national stadium while attending Vaz Preparatory school and yes that is where she developed the beast mode that was transferred to the United States of America when she left Jamaica for greener pastures in America. Great showing Sanya and Allison.😊😊😊😊😊😊

In 2010, the US result was questioned due to the participation in the qualifying race of Crystal Cox, who admitted to doping from 2001 to 2004. In July 2012, the IOC stripped Crystal Cox of the gold medal for the relay and asked the IAAF to decide on the disqualification of the entire team. The result of the Russian team remained unchanged.

[@martinmaier352]

I have no idea, why the women, we remember: the best teams of the world, are that weak in passing the baton to the next runner. They do not use the exchange zone, but wait standing still and looking back, until the baton is passed over. In the high school we did it better. The worst example was the russian finisher, who lost one second in taking the baton with the left hand and, still not running, passed it over to the right hand. After that manoevre she started her sprint.
