Women's 4x100m Relay Final | Munich 2022 | Germany

It was one of the most emotional endings to a European Athletics Championship, as Germany stormed to the women's 4x100m relay gold medal.
The gold medal ensured they finished top of the medal table, and it was a fitting end that this was secured in the last race of the event in front of a capacity crowd.
Alexandra Burghardt, Lisa Mayer, Gina Luckenkemper (who had already won gold in the women's 100m) and Rebekka Haase won in a time of 42.34.
Poland's quarter won silver with a national record 42.61 with Italy third in a time of 42.84.
The drama unfolded at the first change, with two teams falling out of the race at this time - leaving Germany to take home the gold.

@@frikadelle9087 No, Sir, in Oregon, they ran 42,03, but not because of Pinto. The reason was, Burghardt ran the second leg. Burghardt is always the tallest & heaviest sprinter in the field at all. For her it is advantagous to run with a flying start. Lisa Mayer is faster than Pinto....

Right now, there is no French woman to match Leuckenkemper's leg and Germany is quite sure-handed with the baton.

So much is spoken about their final 2 runners, and they were great for sure, but Berghardt always gives Germany a solid first leg, their first changeover is usually perfect, and then Mayer on the second leg always makes up ground on the other runners (she's got the 200m stamina for the long leg down the nack straight). She was matching Schippers the whole way, but the focus was completely on Schippers. GREAT TEAM VICTORY!

[@needleneedle6294]

The commentator ask..."I wonder if Hasse knew that Swaboda was closing her down?" That was not actually accurate. In the first 20 meters Ewa did gain some distance on Becky, but if you look closely at the over head view, Becky was actually pulling away from Swaboda, negating most of what Ewa gained in the first 20 meters. Ewa, while super fast on the start had NO chance of running Hasse down. Becky doesn't look like a classic top sprinter, but some how she manages to turn up the speed and rarely gives up the lead on the final leg. Shout out to Ewa Swaboda for a great leg but equally big shout out to Becky Hasse for running a spectacular leg to close the race with the win and pulling away doing it!!

[@christopherbentley7289]

I can answer that question quite precisely as I looked into the backgrounds of both the twelve medallists and eight non-finishers in that event. In the case of GB that would be, in order of running, Asha Philip (Leyton), Imani-Lara Lansiquot (Peckham), Ashleigh Nelson (Stoke-on-Trent) and Dina Asher-Smith (Orpington) and in the case of France, also in order of running, Floriane Gnafoua (St.-Cloud), Gémima Joseph (Kourou, French Guiana), Hélène Parisot (Lisieux) and Mallory Leconte (St.-Denis), so only one of those eight doesn't come from GB/France. I thought it was a nice touch for the Germans, in the context of the event for which the European Championships was a celebration of a 'Golden Anniversary, the Munich Olympics, where West Germany's Heide Rosendahl held off East Germany's Renate Stecher for West German Gold in the final leg of the women's 4 x 100 metre Final, that, in this All-German quartet, it was what one may have called an 'Ossi' back in the Nineties, Zschopau's Rebekka Haase who had the honour of taking the baton over the finishing line after a trio of 'Wessis' had taken it round the other three legs.

@@dervogelmann1125 Those details in parenthesis were actual places of birth, so all the athletes in the Great Britain quartet were British by birth, not 'Africans' or 'Americans'. By a strange 'symmetry', the non-finishing French quartet consisted of three Black and one White athlete while the medal-winning Italian quartet consisted of three White and one Black athlete, although I suspect that Dalia Kaddari may have been of Arab/North African heritage, despite her birthplace of Cagliari, Sardinia. I was surprised to discover that Zaynab Dosso, who ran the first leg for Italy, was born in Man, Côte d'Ivoire, which was French territory, so one would have thought that her natural country of destination would have been France rather than Italy.
