Athens Summer Olympics 2004 Womens 4x400m final

[@ranhill]

Deedee Trotter, Sanya Richards-Ross - USA Novlene Williams-Mils - JAM Natalya Antyukh - RUS Christine Ohuruogu - GBR All still competing as of 2016

[@kantricedorsey8142]

+ranhill ...I was just thinking the same thing. This is want how you dominate in a sport. I think some of these current athletes need to see this is how you do it. Dominating a sport doesn't come by winning a few races and you haven't been to an Olymics. When you have longevity and have been around as long as these ladies have, that's domination.

[@ranhill]

+Kantrice Dorsey yes, and all winners of individual medals. SRR and Trotter 400 Olympic gold and bronze respectively, Mills World Championships bronze, Antyukh 400 hurdle Olympic Gold. And the key is patience. Hard work and discipline, along a strong mind and good genes equals success and longevity in the end.

[@phoenixforce6595]

And Christine Ohuruogu still competing as well. She's on leg 3 for the Brit team. I think Sanya Richards Ross has retired now though.

[@ranhill]

eddy chelsea Yes, at the time I made the initial post SRR was still going until she blew out her hammy in Atlanta a few weeks before the US Olympic Trials. She has indeed retired and and transitioned nicely into broadcasting. She did a great job as color analyst, along with Ato Bolden, for NBCs Olympic coverage.

Doug Raddi . Just a reminder Doug, beauty fades, as does athletic prowess. We have a very short window in which to shine. I don't say this as an x good looking athlete., I was born ugly, with no athletic ability whatsoever. Not overweight, just not gifted. I remember when I was 15 at High School, and it was sports day. The woman in charge of physical education made me line up, to run a race that I knew I would not only lose, but come last in!!! When I was at junior school, I came last in the egg and spoon race, I couldn't get that fu#king egg on my spoon. Everyone else had finished. My mum said, 'well, I'm ashamed of you'. So, forward a few years, and I was forced to line up again, for something I didn't want to do, cos I didn't want to look like a fool. Well, the starter pistol went off, and I turned round and walked away!!!😂😂😂 This woman went ballistic threatening me with the cane etc. I remember saying, I don't f'ing care, I refuse to participate, so what are you going to do, kill me????? She walked away, finally admitting defeat! 😂😂 I became a qualified Registered Nurse though, so my gifts lay elsewhere. Just thought I'd share!! 😏😏😏

[@dougraddi908]

@@serenityflies1462 I'm sorry for what you experienced early in life. I'm going to have to disagree with you on what you said about beauty fades. There are some people in this world who get better with age. I know a lot of men and women who are better looking or kept their looks well into their life. You are right that we all lose strength as we age, it doesn't dissuade me from acknowledging beauty when I see it. Take care

Dilip Rai As the second and third woman were making the exchange, it looks like they got to close to the second woman accidentally stepped on her teammate’s shoe, causing it to come off her heel and forcing her to stop. It wasn’t evident from the footage because it looked like she just quit on the race but she apparently fixed it and finished, even though they ended up being about 25 seconds behind the group.

[@giannis93FUL]

@@xaloumi1994 if in the second change she had made the Greek athlete had not come so close to the second Greek athlete who took the baton, her shoe would not have come off and Greece would have reached the dream and taken the bronze in athletics in the women's 4x400 metres relay and would not miss the only opportunity Greece ever had and will never have again in this athletics event.
