I remember watching that on television: "What's Heide doing lining up to run anchor? Did the West Germans have an injury?" I was thinking, "She needs a lead: three yards, five would be better." Then the race got underway and they came around the turn and handed off, with the West Germans having a very small lead -- from the angle we had on television it looked smaller than it was. But she held on for the win, with Stecher not blowing by like Bob Hayes. It just seemed like a miracle. Strange things happen in the Olympics.
I was a kid at the time glued to the television during the Olympic Games in 1972. The relay was the most exhilerating event that I had watched during the entire games (at least for me). The absolute determination of Heide Rosenthal gave me goosebumps. When she put her head down sprinting her body language is so expressive... "you-can-try-what-you-might-you-will-not-get-past-me" It absolutely deflated the opposition.
Gold und Silber hier für Deutschland. (BRD und DDR). Fantastisch...
Zweimal Deutschland vorne , eine unglaubliche sportliche Leistung.

Der Klassenfeind war siegreich und die gedopte Stecher abgekocht. 💋♥️💋♥️
Schneller als die Italiener hier bei der EM, einfach unglaublich.
Wenn es 'Italiener' wäre, wäre es echt verdächtig! Meinen Sie nicht zufällig 'Italienerinnen'?
@@christopherbentley7289 Auch Italiemerinnen sind Italiener, also Einwohner die italischen Halbinsel.
Die Kameratechnik und Platzierung. Man beachte den Unterschied zu heutigen Übertragungen....🙂
das ist ja wohl offensichtlich eine Amateur-Aufnahme...
