British and French Baton Exchange Disaster | Women's 4x100m Relay Final (Best Angle)

[@Dr.Phoenix]

France - the second runner started prematurely or the first one couldn't keep up the pace to hand the baton. In the end there was a huge gap between the two. England - The second runner couldn't hold on to the baton.

[@thejoyofsoxmovie7211]

Thanks for clarifying. It was a little hard to sort out.

[@citroniron3293]

Started too early and went too fast.

[@juanito3661]

For a moment French and British look like the same team.

[@Piotr-pg5bv]

Haase shows how it works. Putting the arm behind and waiting for the baton.

[@hajoos.8360]

Haase's start & speed was steered by 2 shouts of Lückenkemper. For a very short moment Haase was reducing her speed. Sometimes communication is very helpful.

[@mjfleming319]

Spain and Britain demonstrating why the underhand pass is superior...any slight timing error creates a cascade of problems. Looks like France was going for the underhand pass, but the second leg went out way too early. Even with the underhand pass you can’t batch the timing that badly.

[@keithhodiak8577]

Timing is obviously extremely difficult when under huge pressure, but personally I find having a professional approach often helps even though you may be having a off day or difficulty in one's own personal life.

I don't know what the hell Joseph was thinking or doing.

[@ojsimps701]

Don't think they practicing that team combo much

[@certifiedchaos4643]

I think it might be time to switch up the line up for gbr. I personally think they should Jodie Williams on second leg and Imani and n first leg. I love Asher I’m not sure if she was off but the speed differential was different this race.

[@joep3525]

Great video of how not to do it.

Gratulacje 🇵🇱 POLAND 🇵🇱 SILVER medal 🇵🇱

Off-topic comment.

[@MoDeegroes]

It is the worst feeling when you are passing off the baton.... And the lead jumps too early and you can't catch up to put that pipe in their hand.....so frustrating.

[@maxchau8558]

German men and British and French women made the same amateur mistakes that shouldn't be made. The teams' coaches should be fired on the spot!!!

[@christopherbentley7289]

Could this be the 'Zapruder Film' of that relay race? (I've played it at quarter-speed to make my analysis) There's even a slightly frustrating moment where that camera boom becomes the equivalent of the road sign in the Zapruder Film, just as the key moment is about to arrive. I've been sort of wondering if the one mistake may have caused the other ever since this neatly symmetrical incident occurred, with the French duo - in the context of France not having won one single Gold in track and field for the first time ever in European Championships history - possibly catching sight of the British error and, as co-favourites, losing their concentration in the excitement at the crucial split-second, thinking that the Gold was theirs to cap off, in style, an otherwise hugely disappointing (Athletics) Championships for them just two years before a home Olympics. It appears that that didn't happen and it was just their own fault. Although it appears that Lansiquot ended up in France's lane, by that time the French had already made their error, so we weren't culpable for their error. Germany did win by quite a comfortable margin in the end, so I'm not so sure that GB - or France, for that matter - would have 'smoked' them, as one has remarked. One could almost see another 'symmetry' at work here in the German men's team having made an error with GB winning Gold in the other relay of the evening, making it a sort of 'fair exchange' in my opinion. As one who is very interested in things East German if these Championships were intended to be a celebration of a united Germany half-a-century on from when the two Germanys competed against each other at Olympics level for the only time on German soil, it was a very nice touch that the athlete who brought the Gold home for them, Rebekka Haase, was the only one of the four born in 'die neue Bundesländer' (Zschopau, Sachsen). There were also quite a few interesting things happening further down the medals podium, with Poland's gamble on having the second leg run by the 400 metre runner, Anna Kiełbasińska, handsomely paying off with Silver and a new national record, making me wonder if it's ever happened before that the same colour of medal was won by an athlete in both relays at the same Championships and Italy's Alessia Pavese storming to Bronze in their final leg to capitalise on that French error, thus taking Italy's whole-Championships tally to just one more medal in total than France. The French must really be kicking themselves for that, since Franco-Italian sporting rivalry is just about as ferocious as the Anglo-German variety!

She threw the baton

[@ricksanchez9232]

Darn, this is elementary,through your hands back and wait for the baton, do not feel for it!

[@markreynolds224]

With regards to the GB team, have one attempt, have a second go, and if not successful throw the baton and hope it sticks.

[@CHAPELQEYStv]

Relays have a way of producing mishaps! Germany, Poland & Italy are grateful today...

[@hajoos.8360]

It is a part of the performance. The Germans are bad starters. They are afraid to fail & do not like to gamble. Burghardt's reaction time was really not good, however Phillips started perfectly. The US-girlies in Oregon trained handovers to perfection, too. This was the only chance to defeat the Jamaicans.

What marking indicates the end of the baton change zone?

[@t.e.r.sven2.0vs.daskaltest59]

The yellow one

[@CRyan71]

@@t.e.r.sven2.0vs.daskaltest59 what length of track have they to change?

[@t.e.r.sven2.0vs.daskaltest59]

@@CRyan71 30m - the change zone starts 20m before the partial 100m length and ends 10 m after it. Before November 1st 2017 it was just a 20m zone, where the baton has to given from one to another, but the receiving runner was allowed to star 10m before the zone.

[@CRyan71]

@@t.e.r.sven2.0vs.daskaltest59 I see two teams side by side that failed with the hand over. I know Britain were one. Who was at fault in your opinion? Did the recieving runners just leave a second too early?

[@S2000Y]

When I was at school decades ago we were told left hand to left hand or right hand to right hand. How simple can it get. Uk did right hand to left 🖐.

[@mjfleming319]

The way you were taught creates lots of leg/feet tangles. Almost no one does it that way anymore.

[@hautechocolaate2337]

Its actually the opposite...😂😂

[@mjfleming319]

The first runner carries in their right hand so they can stay on the inside of the curve and have the baton safely in the middle of the lane; second runner takes it in their left so they can stay on the other side of the lane and not have their feet tangle, and then they’re set up to give it to the third runner’s right hand so they can also stay on the inside of the curve.

[@CRyan71]

@@mjfleming319 i agree. Left to right and right to left means the bodies will be outside eachother giving less room for a tangle.

[@benhurrao1715]

At the school level, it is fine to keep it simple. You use the same hand to pass and receive throughout the race. At senior levels, it is right to left, followed by left to right, and finally right to left. In effect, the baton should travel in the middle of the lane, with the bend runners close to the inside of their lanes to minimize the distance covered by them. The straight runners run closer to the outside of their lanes. This avoids runners colliding at the change-over in case the outgoing runner is too slow to accelerate. In this case, the outgoing British and French runners were too quick to accelerate and the incoming runners could not reach them within the exchange zone. Sprint relays are as much about coordination as they are about speed.

[@zodiacleo5046]

Wait Britain dropped it and French stepped outside the zone?

[@yesterdayproductions1019]

The Top High School Girls 4X100 Relay Teams in the CIF are way more professional than a couple of these teams. LOL

God almighty it doesn't take Einstein to receive or hand over a baton

[@christiantagliaferro4123]

Italy also risked

Not Shure what I'm looking at but no one fell down so how bad can it be.

well they both couldn't finish the race so i think that's pretty bad lol

[@mjfleming319]

You have to make the exchange between the two yellow lines, and you can’t drop the baton

Couldn't see a thing

[@hajoos.8360]

On this video at 00:00:28 secs the failed handovers are very clear to see kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6WvapRvqp11a68 i would say a lack of exercises.......
