I know exactly where I was when I watched this race. Flintoff-King was 3rd coming into the last 100m.....She trained drug free for years.....coming in to this Olympics....Her greatest supporter....her sister... died 2-3 weeks before this race. The finish rewarded her for all the runs she did towing a small commercial tyre behind her...I KNEW she had won ..ALL of my neighbours who were at home in my unit block knew she had won BEFORE it was officially announced!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went off my nut......She had trained for those LAST 16 STRIDES!!!...............She was the fittest runner in that field, physically and mentally. She actually said that as she straightened up out of the curve.... she felt an almost physical push forward in her back central core.....and believed that was her sister. I think that this finish, the closest in Olympic history in this event, along with the Australian men in the 2000 Olympic 4x100m freestyle relay final and Haile Gabrselassie winning the 2000 Olympic 10,000m by .07 secs, are the great finishes I have seen in watching the Olympics since 1968
I did see both the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics as well as the 1988 Seoul Olympics. That time was in school and college respectively. Those times were memorable times.
Hi Anuradha can u please share what was people's reactions then when PT Usha lost bronze medal in 0.01 sec in 1984 Olympics. I came to know that first they announced Usha's name as a bronze medalist later it was changed after photo finish. Is it true?
What a performance beating all the drug cheats from East Europe (not their fault) and North America (was their fault). Excellent performance - forgot how close this race was. Well done Aussie girl.
Yes. In 1984, it took 30 mins to take a decision for a bronze medal between Christiana Cojaccaru from Romania and PT Usha from India based on photo finish.
Have always wanted to see this, thanks for sharing it. Wonder if Ledovskaya knew she had lost before it was announced, she didn't seem that happy when others were congratulating her?
Debby Flint off king well deserved win. Even after this bitter experience, Tatyana repeated same mistake in 1992 Olympics and lost the bronze medal, though she and bronze medalist crossed the finish line on same time (54.31 sec)
@@colindavy5554 correct. She repeated same mistake in 1992 Olympics and lost bronze medal, though she and bronze medalist crossed the finish line on same time.
@metsdudenj Yeah - course she was. Like all US athletes were clean such as Carl 'Stimulants in Toothpaste' Lewis, Flo Jo, Harry Butch Reynolds. Same way years later Gatlin, Jones, CJ Hunter, Montgomery et al... None of them drug cheats. My mistake they must have been representing another country.
sally gunnell looks like a young pretty feminine jarmila kratochvilova,doesnt she?must be the curly hair.tatyana ledovskaya looks very butch,bless her.
MmeDesgranges, your ignorance is sky high and train of thought (if you happen to think on your own and not just regurgitate what is drilled into your head) is fastidious, to say the least. You want to talk about "heart" and go on to make assumptions and sweeping generalizations. The self-righteous, holier than thou, attitudes of people like you is so tired and hypocritical.

The best Olympic finish I've ever seen
My idol just amazing how they almost wrote her out even at the start ! So good ! Do fucking good !

One of the best runs to the finish line you will ever see!
@zim83
Not bored or disinterested, very focused yet very shy of media and public attention. She is a very nice, friendly person.
The 400m hurdles have always had photo finishes. Farmer and Gunnel, Batten and Buford, this.
Yes. In 1984, it took 30 mins to take a decision for a bronze medal between Christiana Cojaccaru from Romania and PT Usha from India based on photo finish.
DFK beat a lot of druggies that day. Fair play

Wow, that was some performance then to come out and do that!!
Now that's what you call a run-in
Flintoff-King won with the lean :P
当時、佐々木秀幸さんの解説は最高でした。これは分かりませんよ！と、プロの視点でキングの逆転勝ちを伝えてました。好記録で面白い反面、西側にもドーピング？と思わせる選手が増えてきたので、問題ありと感じました。
If Ledovskaya had leaned, she would have gotten first place.
And if she ran faster, she would have won. But she didn’t.

Four-letter word you can't get from drugs...GRIT..🇦🇺
gr8 race! i guess Gunnell was t true silver medalist!
💕 💕 💕 💕
go australia!!!!!!!!
@rc2869 How dare you call the US athlete a drug cheat, she was CLEAN
@@rolandgreen7484 if you live in a glass house don't throw stones
The GDR chicks were told not to win in light of the dope testing.
i search video of 400m in this olympics. pinigina wons it. does anyone can say me where i can find it? thx
Bryzgina won it.

Wow this was just not a popular event, over 5 seconds slower than what Koch was running in the open 4
From the other side it would have looked like Ledovskaya crossed first.
Photo finish cameras are positioned at a higher angle than the TV cameras to negate this problem.

All those steroids, all that masking, all that cheating but you were beaten by heart anyway.

Sally Gunnell should have been disqualified for that hairdo.
cooljub Lmao 😂👍
@metsdudenj If she were on drugs she wouldnt have finsihed in 7th place
"Women"? Well, kind of... LOL
