but the 800 the runners can pace themselves a little bit and play coy with each other. No time for that in the 400 and the last 100 is like hitting a wall but you run on will like you have a gun to your head. The 400 is a nightmare.
love the 400. Short enough to see some real speed. Long enough to truly experience the race before you realize they've already crossed the finish line.
This is my favorite sprint to watch again and again. Richards-Ross is classy, beautiful, and has the most elegant form and technique. She had to persevere for this gold. So sweet!
+Lauren Clark it's called a stagger I think. if everyone starts at the same place then each person would have a longer distance to run. so say the person in lane 4 starts the same place as the person in lane 1, the person in lane 4 would have additional running to do. as you can see the track has curves and of course all curves aren't as equal. hope this help
RORORO999 First, what's with the color card? These are athletes/people. I don't care what color they are. My point is that the Russian girl came off the corner in 1st and got 6th. That's just a very tough pill to swallow and to that point "she looked devastated". That comment stands on it's own. She's on the side of the track weeping. I'm sure the others were disappointed. Sure. No one else is on the side of the track weeping.
quadbravo Yeah man she just went out too hard for the first portion of the race. She's still a great runner though. Hopefully we see her again in 2016. Or at Worlds next year
quadbravo Don't know if she was weeping or just had her face in her palms and breathing hard. But either was, definitely disappointed. Later in interviews, Ohurogu was visibly distraught.
RORORO999 They didn't focus in on the "other black girls" after the race like they did the Russian girl. Maybe had they made a similar display, the camera person would have.
I have to KINDLY disagree. Two upsets that come to mind when the race was clearly won are Richards-Ross, 08 London, running out of gas in the last 50 meters when she had the gold all but around her neck only to finish 3rd, and Lolo Jones, same Olympics clipping the second to last hurdle, finishing second to last in 7th place.
Sanya Richards is such a class act. Her attitude is always the same. She always seem to be in great spirits. I have followed her career from the beginning and I still enjoy watching her races today.
Dear Sanya! I want to thank you so much for being such a great role model and inspiration. Motivation and inspiration comes and goes, but you have been my motivation since I first saw you until today. All your accomplishments are beyond measure but what really leaves me in awe is the message behind them. You gave me the faith to believe and trust and that in the end it is not so much about what you get but who you become. Your road to Rio only prooved how powerful the human spirit can be and how powerful you really are was shining through the way you handled the situation after your last race. In life nothing lasts forever so to be able to take everything as an opportuninty no matter what you are against up, for me , is a heroic act and exactely the way I want to live my life. Thank you for showing me what it means to be your best version day in day out. You commited, you persevered and you finished with grace. I wish you all the best with every fiber of my being! And I am sure that you will continue to push-pace-position and poise (pray). Sorry for my english it is not my mother tangue. Janette
Dear Janette, this was a beautiful salute to your heroine. People like you are the reason they do what they do and I am sure Ms. Richards-Ross appreciates your kind words. I enjoyed reading them.
I love how the USA moved up on everyone on the last leg-like a red wave swooping past everyone. Thanks for representing our great country so well ladies!
The roar at 4:54 when the crowd see confirmation Ohuruogu won the silver epitomises the incredible British crowds of the games. It was a wonderful games.
+TheYorkMan Good analysis maybe that's why she was so disappointed because she realised she misjudged the race and had alot more to give. You really don't want to cross the finish line fresh because you just ran out of meters .
I do not care what kind or how many positive thoughts I have , It will not make me outrun Usain Bolt or thousands of other things I wish I could do. Positive thoughts are most often delusional thoughts. Realistic goals MAY equal positive results. The key word being "realistic".

@Joyce Williams How do you know all of this. So you know Vladimir Putin personally... And that he "Just cant accept a Mustang, will never out run a black stallion. There's no Mustangs or Stallions in this race. Idiot!!
If you ask any track athlete, they will all tell you that the 400 meters is the hardest race to run. And no matter what kind of shape you are in, you are drained at the end of the race. In short, IT HURTS LIKE HELL.
I'm a collegiate NAIA athlete and run the 400m in the low 49's (that's not very good, but I've only included that information for credibility). Our fastest female 400m runner runs a 58, and she has a very respectable track scholarship. This is not a cheap school, either. I guarantee you your friend already has schools looking to recruit her. A time of 58 seconds as a sophomore in high school is fantastic and she will undoubtedly have many schools who want her, to be able to choose from.
***** I'm not sure I understand your response.If you are indicating that you disagree please do not bother to respond as these issues are in the "eye of the beholder" and subject to the self image and confidence of the responder.
thabz madakhi yes she could she ran 47 in 4x400 relay, santa richords-ross ran 49 and in track that is a big difference (IN MY OPINION SHE WOULDVE WON)
joe dagg yes you were right about me being incorrect of the time which is 48 but have you ever realized that sanya also had a "running start" and allysons time was still faster than hers but I'm over it so…...
Olympic qualifiers for men is 45.50sec. World junior championships is 47. Sorry but 51 isn't even close. That's an appropriate high school athlete pb though

Omg people! Why are you judging Sanya on how she ran, she has won. She is the best, and Its pointless to judge her on how she paced herself, because she will not listen to you guys anyway, she has her own race plan and she won, you guys think she didnt pace herself properly, so? What of it? She won

Was so happy Sanya finally got it, great resilience after losing as the favorite the previous Olympics because she went out too fast.

I don’t get racism, in US especially, who is helping them win medals in the Olympics? Each and every race deserves to receive equal amount of respect
Race is cultural continuity. Whites are being genocided and no one cares except for marginalized people deemed evil

USA are not the most racist country in the world. Why especially in US?

WTF???????? Sanya's personal best is 48,70!!!! not 48 second!!!!!
I stated the the second not all the hundredths of a second so stfu
That's funny...never see SRR ever take a victory lap with a JAM flag. She was born in JAM, but the USA is her country and her home.
Epurope
what a legend Sanya Richards Ross, the Jamaican born USA cicitizen,, love to watched her style and face after won that tight finished,, i watched her last race also at USA trail 2016 for Rio..amazing women!
Well done Christine with the silver.
I Like Sanya, she is amazing... was in shadow of Allyson but that helped her to win her own as she had been working very hard
Good job sanya long over due!! Congrats on representing. The red white and blue..... Oh and lets not forget dee dee trotter you too!!!
Hearing her story on the Pivot brought me back here.
Females fast as hell
Great run. Ross ran it technical and wise.
