Women's 400m Heats - Full Heats - London 2012 Olympics

Full coverage of the heats of the women's 400m event from the Olympic Stadium at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Since 1896, athletics has been on the programme of each edition of the Games of the Olympiad. Its presence on the Games programme has allowed its popularity to increase across the world. This popularity was also strengthened by the creation of the IAAF in 1912. Women's events appeared for the first time at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, while the men's programme was standardised as of the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. Although at the beginning women were authorised to participate in only some events, today their programme is almost identical to that of the men.

Christine ohuruogu last minute race is awesome to watch

[@christansdad]

I am going to miss Dee Dee Trotter running professionally. Never had the best top end speed but she is one of the few consistent 400m runners throughout all phases of the race and has an amazing closing 200m. The closest thing to Dee Dee's 400m running style now is Polish runner Iga Baumgart.

They are so amazing

[@DeeJay_78]

And I beg to differ with you too. She is easily one of the best finishers in the current field of 400 women, especially afetr running 3 rounds! On paper, she should not have come close to a medal ... she was outstanding on the homestretch and few others are the same

[@taylorwalker3627]

The race starts at 3:46 for anyone who’s wondering

[@jasonhill7482]

Please upload the heats in Sydney Olympics

[@3748359]

Krivoshapka didn't learn anything from Richards in Beijing it's nearly impossible to run a 400m all out from gun to finish CLEAN the key is to stay as relaxed as possible, run a controlled first 200m and pick it up in the last 200m and bring it home hard

[@MrGreenelight]

Negative, It is Key to win. and she won. The other runners stayed relaxed and ended up loosing.

[@ranhill62]

3748359 she ran fine, it's just she ran the heat and the semi all out LIKE they were finals. She paid the price in the actual final and didn't mefal.

[@ranhill62]

MrGreenelight what you say is true for a final, but this was the semis. She over exerted herself and had no energy left for the final. She didn't even medal. All you're trying to do in the heats and semis is qualify for the final, you do as little as possible so you will have fresher legs for the final.

[@phoenixforce6595]

You have to remember qualifying first gives you a better lane. Krivoshapka had the benefit of running in the final heat. She knew what bench mark time was needed to get a better lane than Montsho and Richards-Ross who were the hot favorites at the time and she achieved it. She should have adjusted her tactics for the final though once achieving the objective but that's another story.

[@PePinmySteP]

@@phoenixforce6595 The only mistake she made was in the 1st round where she obviously had enough to relax more. The semis, 3 of them ran under 50 so to win it she had to run fast anyways to be top 2 (Trotter and Wiliams Mills are no joke), to have a good lane like you said, and have a psychological advantage. The final, well...

THIS RUN WAS THE WAY SANYA RICHARDS WAS REALLY, A REAL PUSHER AROUND THE TRACK, SHE COULD HAVE PUT SOME HURT ON FELIX & JAMAICAN WOMEN SPRINTERS FOR ABOUT MAYBE 7 YEARS IN A ROW MAKING IT KNOWN & NO BRAG, ONE OF AMERICAS GREATS*

Krivoshapka ran her PB 49.18 by running the exact same way at the russian championships so i guess she was confident enough...

Sanya would've been really close if not break the world or Olympic record if she wouldn've slowed down at the end.

[@paulouk83]

no she wouldn't have but she so deserved to finally win the Olympics best 400m runner of the last 10 years. I think a chance to be a world record holder would be in sanya but sadly Koch and the drugged up germans prevent that from ever happening.

[@mohdikhwannaqib723]

krivoshapka made a mistake in the final . she ran the 300m as fast as she can and out of energy in the last 100m

[@ranhill]

She ran her heats the same way. Never a good idea, that's like running 3 finals in week.

[@sawtmac]

stupid , she run like 200 then he died 400m is paced sprint 1sec slower first 200 is better

[@MrGreenelight]

Negative, krivoshapka used an excellent strategy. It does not matter if you ran your fastest at the beginning or the end of your races. It is the shortest "Total" elapsed time to cover the distance that wins.Regardless of when you ran your fastest lap. Did you see the look on the American and the Jamaicans face at the end of the race? They were totally shocked. Krivoshaka did not make a mistake, she was clever and she won. How is winning uninjured making a mistake?

[@sawtmac]

she was the fastest in this year nobody can run that fast in 400 its stupid even if you win 400m is paced sprint not all out

Krivoshapka should take that 6th place and run with it, old cheater. She surely payed for what she did in the final. She sat their crying for sympathy like she thinks she's the only one that lost. Up till this day I think this Russian athlete should ask herself where does she any European sprinters winning any 400m, 800m, or even 300m.
