Linford Christie wins 100m Gold - Barcelona 1992 Olympics

📲 Subscribe to @olympics: oly.ch/Subscribe
Linford Christie was born in Saint Andrew, Jamaica and brought up by his grandmother until the age of seven when he followed his parents in emigrating to England. Coming out of the Barcelona 100m final starting blocks at the age of 32, Christie pulled away from a 'who's who' of famous sprinting names to claim his first Olympic title in a time of 9.96.

I have such vivid memories of this moment. My mum was screaming Linford on whilst our pet dog was chasing the cat around the living room!

[@stevenv1002]

I remember this so well, I was 11 and I can still see my mum screaming at the TV overjoyed, great memories

[@Ahiga4545]

Why would anyone dislike this?? Well done Linford.

I watched this when I went on holiday to my aunties in the isle of Wight. And I was sat there with my know all uncle before the race and I nodded at him and said 'Christie' and he said "Christie won't win it" then he did and I punched the air and roared my uncle just sat there and said nothing..

Linford Christie a Great British Legend.🇬🇧

[@sportzchimp9115]

Just though I'd search for videos on KZbin for Linford. This video reminded me what a fantastic sprinter he was - the best in British history!

[@MoreChannelNoise]

yeah he cheated by taking steroids but probably all the finalists were on drugs. I guess the clean guy who should have got gold only made it to the semifinals?

Where does theBackground music come from?

[@augustlandmesser1520]

Tears were breaking from my eyes by watching this video. That was my time of training too, time of my hopes, my youth, and my greatest happiness. Those runners was my idols... greatest Olympic games to me.

Living Legend!! Where's my Linford Christie statue in London? Proud that the Linford Christie Stadium is in my borough!! Linford is the only British man to have won gold medals in the 100 metres at all four major competitions open to British athletes: the Olympic Games, the World Championships, the European Championships and the Commonwealth Games.... Sir Linford Christie...plea

My favourite Olympian. My favourite Olympic Games. What a time to be alive. What a feeling.

[@misskit123]

We had a big family party for my little sister's first birthday, everyone shouted and she burst into tears! I like to remind her annually of the time Linford Christie made her cry 😂

[@Stratboy999]

I went completely mental when this race was run. I was jumping all over my front room and screaming at the top of my lungs. Great memories.

[@kwato]

Linford was a beast

[@Ruthypops1]

My first Olympics memory. Always remember watching this with my Mum and Dad when I was 8, great moment for British sport!

[@susanhargreaves5136]

A brilliant moment for Linford

[@robstone9745]

I will always remeber that moment, listening to my radio the 100m final, I was driving at that time, I stopped at some traffic lights, then 'the starters pistol' went off (2nd time) ..then Linford and my little Ford Escort got into 3rd gear and won, the engine was completely knackered after that ..but it was worth it
