Maurice Greene and Team USA (37.59) - 1999 World Championships (4x100m Final) - Seville, Spain

[@MrDarryl90210]

That final 50 meters shows Greene's awesome kick!

[@RKRKRK78]

I wasn't really impressed considering he ran 9.86 earlier in the meet. Greene was never really a strong relay runner/anchor. Bailey, if you want to see an awesome kick in that era.

[@marjorjorietillman856]

And the announcer made a 101 excuses for Great Britain’s loss. The U.S. had a slow/conservative pass on the first handoff, and Mo Greene still made up the difference! So the US and Britain had a couple of things to overcome, but the US was better that year, end of story!❤

[@Cecilia-yi5hp]

This is when TRACK was TRACK. I could watch this all day.

[@jermainewright4517]

Man oh man, Tom Hammond called that race like a BEAST, especially down the stretch end. Incredible commentator.

[@kaem5267]

Back here in 2021 just to hear "...here comes Maurice Greene blazing to the finish" the commentator was awesome! and Greene had a hellava kick!!!

[@CycloneRecords113]

Greene's was amazing and Drummond he was something else

[@tosaye]

Maurice Greene was the man! I would rate him as a top 4 male sprinter of all time (Bolt, Carl Lewis, Michael Johnson, and Maurice Greene).

[@bman342a]

4x100 is the most exciting race (for me) in track. Men or Women. Wish they would add 4x200 in the Olympics.

[@LordDelCasa]

I love it. So much action!!

[@alexredeemed]

That’s why it usually scheduled the last in any event for the excitement

[@airkuna]

4X200 is too much...

[@ladame5611]

Yes, very exciting for sure. To me, the 4x400 is the best relay to watch, but they’re all great at this level.

[@tfmarketing12]

It's also the most nerve-wracking event for me, since I'm always nervous that the best team might mess up the baton pass and get disqualified.

[@audleymclean3724]

I love to watch Maurice Greene's antic BEFORE ANY RACE..

[@ryanlucero9372]

I was blessed to have him as my running coach

[@tyboogie1982]

That was an incredible race. Very memorable

[@Ma21L]

exactly. he worked hard and he deserved every single bit of his victory.

[@louie115]

[@tencz57]

You have to see it to believe it . Our American 4x100 team is so good . I mean words alone can't do those men justice . They are a 'Beautiful' team destine for Glory .!! God Bless them all & the USA .

[@walrussemen8001]

Greene best sprinter ever no drugs nothing

[@ranhill]

from 3:28 to the finish, that was all technique and power.

[@deevaontheradio]

One of my favorite commentator was the man who made the call for Michael Phelps 2008 Beijing! So exciting to watch!

[@JayB2]

Green *exploded* past Great Britain in that final leg....

[@keiththomas478]

Jay B exploded

[@megamillionaire4suremillio594]

His split was a 8.9

[@mctururu1940]

The way the commentators ignored Nigeria 🇳🇬 in 3rd was deafening

[@MrFergilo]

That's how an Olympics should be called, with exciting play by play, not like the 2021 Olympics that sounded like the guy was in his bed

[@thomasbridges7323]

Wow nice Thanks

[@Chrisman77]

The only thing Chambers rolled up like a Philly cigar... Was great Britain's chances to win. He got dummied.

[@imserious2187]

[@kuroneko7022]

This is what happens when you trash talk, Great Britain. No way the US was going to lose after that.

[@CycloneRecords113]

Nigeria's 2nd leg has an interesting running gait.

[@eechaze12]

Yes indeed @ 6:03

[@hillberg7315]

Greens technique 🎉 simply awesome

[@fatboy714]

DRUMMOND WAS THE BEST 1ST LEG THE USA MEN HAVE EVER HAD!!!! NO CONTEST

[@ahgoodm]

fatboy714 and Andre Cason

[@BrianGBizu]

agree with you 100 percent.

[@66fredo99]

Trell Kimmons was better. He would smoke Jon Drummond.

[@ahgoodm]

Fred Ball Cason would run past him or hip him.

[@christansdad]

I would take Dennis Mitchell over John Drummond.

[@miamiorlando1]

that man maurice green was a great sprinter...he could run

[@LitCentralMillennialXLIII]

Maurice Greene was so powerful.

[@jordanmoore9318]

Was this the last time the 4X100 USA Mens had good hand offs

[@zamessmeeth]

Maurice Greene > Noah Lyles

[@mesogeios82]

happy for the first comment! i was watching videos of races from olympic games and i searched for aliu deji,the nigerian runner. when i was young i had an autograph from him. i was a runner of 400m hurdles 57,35 at the age of 16

[@Cslicksmusic91]

This was the world championship in 1999 he never got three golds in the Olympic only in the world championships

[@LitCentralMillennialXLIII]

Drugs or not Greene had best sprinting technique and execution of all time.

[@lorenllbj88]

He wasn’t on drugs

[@thomasbridges7323]

[@marquisreed7727]

Our names sound similar and I ran track bc of him.

[@Watkinsstudio]

@@davidgrace2951 If you don't know what to say, cry drugs.

[@EgyptPHA]

Yeah but we're talking about Mo Greene above. We're not talking about Marion Jones and her guilty plea. Until Mo Greene goes under Grand Jury then you have a point. Then you can make that point all you want, and rub it in my face. but Mo Greene isn't in a Grand Jury case, and he wasn't proven Guilty. so until he is Guilty, you have to see him as Innocent no matter what the rumors say. Because there is a chance he is innocent. Remember... Innocent until proven Guilty??

[@cmt51597]

What a clutch relay by the U.S. here. Sweet redemption. I actually prefer watching Greene to Bolt because it's more of a competition. Honestly, I think Greene has more heart than Bolt. Bolt had a lot of natural advantages that he "rode" on such as his height. And he was a bit cocky. I never heard Bolt thank God like this squad did.

[@davidoluoch9185]

Histric win is still maintaiined in usa

[@sherenesherwood2314]

And then they say UB hype and arrogant. The only athlete to converse and acknowledge workers. Smh.......

[@Aarontlondon]

American commentary is so bad. They don't even look at the other teams. They wouldn't be able to tell you who came 2nd or 3rd

[@saltedllama2759]

Other countries do the exact same thing with their own.

[@walteralexander689]

I agree, there isn't enough information to draw the conclusion that Greene was a drug cheat. The only thing we know for certain is that Greene had a $10,000 wire transfer sent to Heredia. Greene says the money was for training equipment for his teammates, while Heredia says it was for performance enhancing drugs. It's Greene's word versus Heredia's. In addition to being a drug dealer ,Heredia, was also a track & field athlete himself, so it's possible that Greene's purchase was for equipment.

[@thomasbridges7323]

Norfolk State i for got about that even nicer

[@nandc2009]

very poor commentary on this. There is absolutely no comment on how anybody other than the American team is faring in this race.

[@Thelastgenuinearticle]

+nandc2009 It's an American announce group airing on American television...that tends to be the case

[@nandc2009]

+andrew papastefan those facts do not mean that the commentary has to be to the total exclusion of all other elements of the race

[@Thelastgenuinearticle]

This is a clip...I'm sure there was more coverage not included

[@vellem7527]

Do u think u could give an equal running commentary for all the teams at the same time and get in done in less than a minute?

[@nandc2009]

No I don't. Nor would I expect others to. But some comment on some other teams, perhaps those in medal contention, would be appropriate.

[@caramelhoney29]

The commentator is annoying..."If this would've happened or that...blah blah blah" It didn't and the U.S. won.

[@batwings80]

People talking about Greene' 'kick'! Be real - the guys was juiced and did not fade as much as the rest. We witnessed something similar with the 'Italian' guy Lamont Marcell Jacobs in the Olympics this year. Absolutely flying in the last 30 metres when the body should slow down. Jacobs hasn't been seen at a meet since. He'll be back to being a 10.2 s sprinter again next year. Or he'll get caught. Everyone know that Greene was on it, so was Chambers and Donovan Bailey. Further back, same could be said for Linford Christie (remember the 'I had ginseng tea' excuse for having pseudoephedrine in his system...). All those guys, Gatlin and host of others like Yohan Blake and Kostas Kederis - they're all cheats.

[@EgyptPHA]

u using the word a known steroid dealer due to what we know now. The Fact is, whether he knew or not known. You have to prove what Mo Greene knew at the time. All we know Mo Greene stating that he didn't take any drugs. So until you prove he ingested or gave himself a shot, nothing matters. The difference is M. Jones and Trev both admits to taking drugs. That is a big difference.Greene never admits to drugs. We have a different scenario. Just cause they seem the same,dont make them the same

I didn't care for Greene, and i was so surprised to see Jon Drummond acting out when I watched this when it aired. I used to think he was so reserved, and I saw him cutting up after this win, and the only thing I remember thinking was that he was amped up more because he was running with "showboating, cocky, Maurice."
