Women's 4 x 100m Relay - 1997 World Championships

[@tericaclark4871]

I admire Gail..she had a disease in her feet and they said she would never run again but look at her fly🔥🔥🔥

[@CallMeCharlie09]

I couldn't agree more! I met her as a teenager. She and Jackie Joyner Kersey were really encouraging to mu track teem in East St. Louis.

[@saragrant9749]

Exactly. Doctors said she wouldn’t… she said “hold my Olympic gold medal please, and watch.

[@sagacious4559]

[@George-v5c5n]

Did they keep the gold medal from this even though the USA had MJ running.

[@murielslack8372]

Watching this race now is as exciting as it was back in 1997.

[@russelladams7134]

I love track and field. It's a no contact sport and I myself ran cross country and track in high school. I love to see the American women run. Track and Field is the best at night in the spring and summer time.

[@stevie586]

She’s always one of the greatest female sprinters, ever! She and SAFP have a very similar running style, and they’re both running fast times at ages much older than others. She still ran a sub 7-second 60M in her 30’s…that’s unheard of! Amazing woman!

[@enigmaticgenius7717]

@@stevie586 Yup..she was great, but SAFP have surpassed her and left her FAR behind now. There is no comparison. They don't sit t the same table anymore!💥

[@stevie586]

@@enigmaticgenius7717 I disagree with you! So much time has gone by and of course people are much faster today due to training, diet, track technology, shoe technology, etc. However, Ashford was far more dominant than SAFP! Let’s not forget, she had not one, but TWO world records…something SAFP has never had. Also, something folks need to understand about people like SAFP…she is a championship runner. In other words, SAFP loses races tons, then wins the championships. Evelyn simply always won her races, then turned around and won the championships as well. Obviously, SAFP had more medals (which is another thing…Ashford was robbed of ability to race some events due to political reasons and boycotting), but, I believe you need to think again with your claims, because Ashford is one of the absolute greatest in history.

[@georgemallory797]

I love how Gail ran all the way leaning into the tape like it was a world record hundred meter attempt. I have seen many athletes showboat during that last 10m including pulling up like I've seen Carl Lewis even do. To me it is more humble and sportsmanlike.

[@Imisambi]

Seeing how relay handoffs and other techniques have evolved today, I’m sure if this team were exposed to them, they would’ve easily broken the record. Especially being that they were only .10 seconds off.
