    AUS Barbara Wilson, Debbie Wells (15yo), Denise Robertson-Boyd, Raelene Boyle.
    AUS were lucky to make the final as in the heat Boyle asked her friend Andrea Lynch (GBR) 'how many go through to the final?'. Lynch said (incorrectly) 'first four' and so Boyle coasted. It was 'first three and fastest losers' but AUS managed to scraped through.
    They would have medalled (and Wells would have been the youngest of all time) if drug testing was more competent back then.

    I remember this. The difference between first and second probably was the difference between lane 1 and lane 8 -- lane 1 runs more curve, a tighter curve, and can't run as close to the inside of their lane.

    • @Finarphin
      @Finarphin 8 месяцев назад

      The middle lanes are seeded higher for instance in swimming and in the 100m. It's a slight advantage being in the middle because you can see how everyone is doing (less so in swimming). One wonders why they do that in swimming: the water is the same in each lane -- same on the track (as long was we're on tartan (Hayes for some reason was in lane 1). But I don't think the middle lanes are an advantage in the 200. If you're in the middle you can see the others easier (and you can "pull" on someone ahead of you) but that is a very slight advantage. But running less curve and more straight as well as running a less tight curve is a bigger advantage, in my opinion.@@mrgobrien

      @ mets: human growth hormone and blood transfusions of your own oxygen enriched blood weren't illegal then. Best not to judge people from another era by today's rules, eh?

      +Michael.RODRIGUEZ RODRIGUEZ you're ignorant! Why are you answering a comment from TWO years ago? metsdudenj posted that comment TWO years go - but you're like a lot of dumb RUclipsrs who react rather than reading the date something was posted.
      There's no double standard for Americans. Black American athletes are drug tested more than any other, especially if they win a lot. Every time you turn around when black American athletes win at sprints people say they were doping! They think EVERY black athlete uses drugs rather than admit most are just great athletes due to hard work and great conditioning.
