1976 Olympics Women's 200 m All Stages (prelims, semi-final and final)

[@ChristovMr]

It's well documented that many Eastern Bloc athletes were doping, but the sad thing is, some, especially when they were younger, weren't being told what they were actually being given! They were told they were a vitamin supplements! However, I do enjoy watching these old videos. Thanks for posting them!

[@MsSlucyna]

That's what it looked like. Neither them nor their parents had a voice in that procedure.

[@andersonarmstrong2650]

They knew. Vitamins was a euphemism for drugs. Anyone refusing their vitamins didn't get to win and were denied privileges. I make no excuses for those responsible for turning athletics into a toilet because they felt unable to complete on level terms with AfricanDiaspora athletes.

[@Marchjoy1963]

OMG this is wonderful, I remember seeing the 100 meter first round and some of the quaters, but I didn't see the semi and finals and any of the 200s. So thanks for this ! Raelene is slight and such a beautiful sprinter, she look so good here, too bad about the idiot Jack Fisher; his complete incompetence; cost her big time.

[@karrtt1234]

This is great... absolutely loving this ! I am shocked at the size of Renate Stecher, she is huge and is so sloppy looking. Great to see the Boyle quater-final.. she is so smooth ! Thanks for this !

[@ernestomoya4046]

Yet she Renate still claims to have run steroids free.

[@MsSlucyna]

Stecher is huge? The bigger the better, I say!🤣🤣

[@leroyrs]

Fantastic. Thx for uploading. Still looking for the 100 m Women challenges as well as 4x100.

[@brettwilkinson9529]

Raylene Boyle was robbed of a gold medal in this event. Put out wrongly for a false start which was proved to have been wrong. She would have blasted them off the track with the times she was running.

[@waynehentley4332]

Nonsense! What times? Anyway, we'll never know!

[@zvbx]

Was the same age as you and made the same statement.

[@SuperBigblue19]

The winner seems annoyed that they didn't sweep the event with all that needle work they put in.

[@andersonarmstrong2650]

5,6,7,8 ran clean in the final. The travesty era. Wholesale doping and no commentator prepared to question why since 1968 East Europeans and W. Germany were sweeping track and field. Even now, this era barely gets mentioned. It never happened! At school and athletics meets the total re erse of this was the norm.

[@chardyramos7408]

how about 1984 LA Olympics, Women's 100m or 200m...

[@yescanto]

OMG who is that guy... oh wait .. it's Renate Stecher...

[@bobjacubas6818]

I cannot get over the size of Renate Stecher...and did they really believe the GDR women were clean ???

[@andersonarmstrong2650]

Everybody knew these were drugged, nobody said a word. Commentators the world over passing the travesty over in silence because they'd rather doped whites than clean African Diaspora athletes win. We'd watch at home while BBC commentators talked abt 'evolutionary' progress. The real cold war never ended in that sense.

[@ivancervi1825]

Grandiosa Barbel Eckert-Woeckel!

[@丹下段平-g3f]

１位～５位までドイツ勢(東西ドイツ)なのが凄い。しかし、東ドイツの選手はドーピングによって「改造」された人間だ。

[@lizzylaronde2234]

Why is that interesting ? I think it's more interesting that Stecher looks like a hammer thrower, from all her drug taking..and that Raelene is slim and trim from not taking anything.

[@stephentooth]

Such a shame no footage of the 100m semi & final x

Not much celebration after an Olympic final; it seems they just finished some random competition. 9:58 Of course Prorochenko was running for USSR, not Ukraine.

[@emanemanresuresu]

Yeah... I bet that is how it was and how it still is...

[@olimpsportas]

thanks guys, indeed, Renate Stecher looks enough impressively to scare many her rivals, lol...

[@gheko1]

Interesting thing about all this is Renate Stecher , is a married female with three children, Dont think Boyle was ever married or ever had any living children!

[@crashdavis721]

what's that got to do with anything dickhead?

[@patricksweeney5308]

I read that Stecher became concerned that she might become infertile and so came off steroids at least for a time after 1973, when she set a new 200m record of 22.37 and equalled her 100m record of 11.07. It was a slimmed down version we saw in 1974 at the European Championships, where she lost to Szewinska in both sprints.

[@MsSlucyna]

@@patricksweeney5308 Good point

[@rem145]

They didn’t even look like women. Kind of mind numbing watching this

[@ap5113]

G.D.R. the best.

[@philipwong1652]

Where was Irena Szewinska?

[@olimpsportas]

Irena Szewinska took part only in 400m.

[@hoagey1580]

concentrating on winning the 400 in new world record

[@miloandtock1]

She was the WR holder, and had beaten Wockel, Stecher, and Richter a couple times that year no problem. She likely would have won this.

[@frb7968]

Na Frau Eckert und Star Stecher wissen Sie noch wieviel Pillen bzw. Tabletten sie sich reingestopft haben? Und dann jubeln war eine einzige Sauerei

[@KK-hp1sx]

決勝だけの動画でもコメントしましたが、シュテヘルは前回と体型が変わり不自然。1973に百10:9さらに一ヶ月後10:8！果てしなき疾走と言われた。二百も22:1とそれまでの22:4を更新。普通だったらできる訳がない。一時代は作ったが、タイアス、紀政、シェビンスカの様な自然さはなかった。

[@jamesnazon8714]

East Germany was the best. I love them

[@andersonarmstrong2650]

I wonder why..

[@joeortiz7715]

Only the women, which makes it obvious, they were doped.

[@MsSlucyna]

I can't stand that Soviet Russian commentator. Gets on my nerves as hell.

[@xVMNx]

prorochenko -> URS

[@pmue437]

They cheated Renate Stecher which should have a lane between 4 and 6 not 8th.

[@BaumerPaulGefreiter]

"Renate Boyle"

[@shottut]

I doubt it... steroids are legal is Europe .. they are illegal in North America.

[@Finarphin]

Germans go 1-2-3-4-5. I guess that didn't have anything to do with steroids. Just a coincidence.

[@70swunderkind]

Yeah, it's amazing what steroids will do for your physique, huh???

They should test all the frozen samples from the past! Testing is way more advanced now! There be a hell of a lot of gold medals handed back! Lol

Do you really think that they have 45 year old samples still stored?🤔🤔🤔😅😅

It wasn't just East Germany doping people everybody was using. You're just jealous because Germany had the best athletes

[@waynehentley4332]

Everyone was not doping!

[@westfaner]

The commentator here... keeps refering to Raelen Boyle as Renate ...Renate Boyle ?? Oh well, Renate Stecher is so juiced up here.. she is massive !!

[@Ineddiblehulk]

Yeah while on an individual basis I kind of assume they are all clean (i.e. there is no one in particular I think 'drug cheat') I also assume that they are ALL juicing. I know that makes no sense
