📲 Want to watch live sport and original documentaries for free? Check out our website: oly.ch/WatchLiveSport
The Italian 4x100m relay quartet of Olympic 100m champion Marcell Jacobs, Lorenzo Patta, Eseosa Desalu and Filippo Tortu raced to victory in the final at Tokyo 2020. The Italians featuring 100m champion Marcell Jacobs won their country's first medal in the event at the Olympics since London 1948. Lead-off runner Patta handed the baton to Jacobs, who produced a storming run down the back end, with Tortu on the anchor leg crossed the line in a new Italian record of 37.50 seconds. Great Britain, pipped at the line by 0.01s, claimed the silver medal, with Canada bagging bronze, clocking 37.70.

Watching that Italian guy run the last leg was like watching an eagle fly. Really stunning victory and well deserved

[@Nalsii]

That's fairly close to my impression of his run and I've been wondering why that is. I think it is a combination of him extending his arms behind himself slightly more than the other runners, plus the fact that he's white and his arms are more noticeable in contrast to the red track color. It really does give an impression of him grabbing air and throwing it behind him as he takes off in reckless abandon.

[@milvao3400]

Tortu was already quite famous in Italy way before the Tokyo Olympics and we expected him to be in the 100m final and maybe have a shot at the medals, because he broke the 10s barrier and the national record at a very young age. No one in Italy knew who Marcell Jacobs was before this final or even after this final until we saw him winning. That probably helped him, because all the pressure was on Tortu. So it might be a surprise for the rest of the world but it's not a surprise for Italians that Tortu could run like that.

[@eorlsven1241]

in relay the baton passes can be crucial, and Italians have been almost flawless, while faster runners from other countries messed up... Tortu was simply great in this race, but his personal best on 100m is still "only" 9.99 seconds, so indeed not quite on par with "the bigs" (who now include Jacobs!)

[@JohnSmith-yn9ie]

His speed is on par with anyone in the world, his start is terrible so his 100m mark is deceptive, if Lemaitre had trained like him and taken the same drugs as all the best sprinters do he could have beaten Bolt in 2012

[@eamparbeng]

@@JohnSmith-yn9ie Tortu, Bolt, and Lemaitre are tall runners standing at 6'2, 6'5, and 6'3 respectively. So bad starts are common for them. Asafa Powell who stood at 6'3 with a superior start is one of those rare exceptions

Congrets to Italian team, it was bad for British team doping, lost silver, Canadian won silver and China won bronze

[@chantaln6843]

I can’t believe it, that was a beautiful Italian victory 😃

[@Birdman107]

Last leg Italian gave everything to close that gap. Goose bumps😮

[@christiantagliaferro4123]

Filippo Tortu was the first Italian to drop below 10 seconds when he was only 18. why all this clamour?

[@michaelaustin6081]

I'll explain it as simply as I can. That last leg was one of the greatest anchors in Olympic history.

Well, for years he didn't run so fast. Just few days before he ended 7th in his semi with the time of 10"16

[@JT-km6th]

@@nicoladc89 really? Why has he not shown progression from an adolescent?

[@teiborlangdkhar6555]

I keep on watching the final leg ran by Tortu, how did he closed the gap that's awesome.
