I love how happy WELLS is even though she got third. It's such a huge achievement to get to the Olympics let alone win a medal and I think some athletes forget that
If I was competing in the Olympics, I'd be super happy to get a medal at all, to be the 2nd or 3rd best of all the people competing in that event and getting recognised for that is an amazing accomplishment, some people forget that.
The best race I have ever seen.... Rivalry start in 2008 Olympic. Harper gold, selly silver..... But won by selly in 2012 Olympic. Selly gold and Harper silver.... Incredible... Love from India❤❤❤
@@tajaun3467 Not once in that 10+ minute video did Harper approach Pearson. Wells gave her an enthusiastic congratulatory hug... Harper nowhere to be seen, in fact her whole post-race performance looked forced & fake. So no, not blind... You?
Hurdlers need to have strong abs. It's part of what helps them get their legs up and over the hurdles fast. Try lifting your legs up when you've pulled an abdominal muscle and you'll see how necessary they are.

I expect you could say the same for all of the 100m hurdle finalists.
@Alchemica Blackwood what are American black girls like I'm very keen on hearing what negative stereotypes you have. I love how race immediately determines someone's characters. So so very smart.
@Alchemica Blackwood so u said all american black women disgusting attitude, ignorant, no self respect? Is that how u view ur people of american? So u assuming no one black women in America nice attitude?
In truth I think Sally is one of the absolute best performers I have ever seen. I do not believe I have ever seen anyone who so flawlessly clears a hurdle like she does. If you took a snap of her crossing the hurdle, you could virtually super impose it over each other hurdle, and you would find her in exactly the same place. As she exits each hurdle she is mothing but smoothness, and it is my belief that this is what gets her the win most of the time.
yes agree, sally was 1st to jump the 1st hurdle i believe. only just, then the gap got bigger , sally has retired now, she was aiming for the next Olympics, but her ankle has major issues now, she was training not that long ago this year
In the slow motion (6:12 to 6:30) compare the facial expressions on Sally Pearson and the rest. Sally's is calm and concentrated, the rest are in total pain and striving. Just shows how much command Sally had over her entire performance. Total focus.
I remember setting my alarm at 3 or 4am to watch Sally Pearson run this. 5:30am was when the race started and I cheered so loud that I was living with my parents at the time and I work them up and they weren't happy. It was worth waking up to.
I consider myself a pretty big sports fan; AFL, EPL, NBA, NFL, Tennis, MLB, Cricket, Athletics, MMA.... And this is one of the gutsiest wins I have ever seen by an Aussie in any arena.. clutch AF. Love Sally!
yes in the mechanical robotic zone, just like JO flo, no wobbles, loose arms, extended leg front kicks , with short back extensions, perfect style for her movements , fantastic viewing these runners
An Australian hero, a champion on and off the track. Silver medalist at the same event in the previous Olympicz. Sally was the favorite, the world champion and with her silver medal success at Beijing Australia was following her all the way to the London. She was unbeatable leading into the Olympics and carried huge weight of expectation. Australia rarely has track and field athletes who are finalists., so when a talent pushes onto and reaches the elite level we follow them all the way...we knew noone was faster than Sally, noone knows how uf that fact alone will get her the gold - but it did...you can barely watch, your heart is racing and your praying she achieves her goal and the whole nation knows that anything other than gold would be dissappointing for Sally..Her determination to succeed is not just for herself, its not to feed her own ego, she is really running for the people of Australia and every accolade that came her way she remained humble and true to herself. A lifetime of training and an expectation equal to what Cathy would of felt in Sydney 2000..it was the lifetime of practice that got her the gold.. It wasnt Sallys best race, best races are the ones run on aecond nature allowing your body to give an extrat burst cause theres no thought its all flowing and you then get that burst.. it is obvious the weight of expectation from well wishes alone was becoming draining. Fo us on what she trained everyday for slowed her but also got her the gold. Free flowing comes down to this one moment they are thelifetime of practice for that one moment. Sally won silver at the previous Olympics which was a great achievement ereAustralia loves their sportsm had the
Sally represents the aussie quality of great technique and terrific form.. I grew up doing athletics for 10 years, the leg snapping, 1,2,3 hurdle etc. we all learnt that from a young age.. I am a thrower and I still remember the exact way to hurdle 😂 Aussie aths deserves more recognition for real
+sbdgrwnmrw she tore her hamstring during training before Olympics. yes indeed its sad but its ok we have another Aussie representing us. All the best to runners
Sally is just the cutest thing you can't help but just feel her joy when she saw her name come up on that screen. Good for you Sally you deserved it so so much. All hail the hurdle queen! But definitely not to forget about Dawn and Kellie who also turned out stellar performances. My goodness I just love the olympics.
the camera of the runners looking at the hurdles at the beginning was awesome. A lifetime of training for these 12 seconds....incredible. The pressure must have been intense
A list of athletes (teams included) who won a medal running out of LANE 7 at the 2012 Olympic Games: Usain Bolt 100m Finals (GOLD) Usain Bolt 200m Finals (GOLD) Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce 100m Finals (GOLD) Sally Pearson 100m Hurdles Finals (GOLD) Allison Felix 200m Finals (GOLD) Felix Sanchez 400m Hurdles Finals (GOLD) Luguelin Santos 400m Finals (SILVER) Caster Semeya 800m Finals (SILVER) Team USA Women 4x100m Finals (GOLD) Team USA Men 4x100m Finals (SILVER) There might be more but I got tired
I love these photo finish races . Sally Pearson was refreshing because she was so concentrated and serious just before the race . The prevailing attitude now is joke around before the race .
As much as I love an upset I also really like to see favorites win. Pearson had dominated the 100 m hurdles for the last couple years before the Olympics and was a truly worthy champion. It's sad that the rest of her career was plagued by injuries.
beautiful to see this, one of tough race but these 3 women so enjoyed their medal, Sally on her peak, the best one! Dawn Harper defending champion from Beijing working so hard that year and bring passion to the race as she done before, Kellie wells,this girl had many injure on her carrier , one of her big achievement in her life that day, no wonder they both enjoyed that moment! beautiful
Amazing race, and Sally was in AMAZING form here! Also, Harper was closing like a freight train, and I believe if she ran one or two more steps through the line instead of leaning so early she may have gotten the edge. Amazing race!
+Kelliinez Lopez Yeah, if only hands were counted as "finished", she would've won. But, Pearson did an amazing job! Well deserved! Was a little disappointed she didn't go and give Dawn a hug though...
@@kristieshorten9984 ,according to the rulls : ANY part of a body . I repeat - ANY part . She is a champion !Pearson`s hand was the FIRST !!! She is a champion! Look at 6.26 - her hand was the first .
Also don't diss Dawn, she beat Sally in 08. Don't say it was a fluke either because Dawn beat her in Brussles, Lausanne, Birmingham, and in Zagreb and that's only counting this years diamond league races. so Show Harper some respect. This isn't a case of Bolt. Sally isn't a hurdle God.
Absolutely love how happy the 3 medalist were . Great sportsmanship ladies
+Esti Luke And now one is injured and the other didn't qualify :( Both of them will be missing in Rio
+Jalen Jonas who is injured and who didn't qualify? That is soooo sad! :(
yessss im australian!! GO SALLY
me 2
I didn't see Harper congratulating Pearson, the bronze medalist had some great sportsmanship
its quite amazing how after years of training it comes down to what you do in 13 seconds
I know! I always wonder what if someone was having an off day or feeling a bit under the weather etc like 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Kowhai Harakeke Sport is mixed with luck and yeah bad things do happen in the wrong times.
Her form was flawless from start to finish, a hurdling machine. And Dawn Harper, an heroic effort.
I LOVE YOU...
@@kowhaiharakeke8881 are you maori
Oh my God I almost cried because Sally looked really nervous and then the results came up and she just started screaming of happiness and ahhhh
Ton frère et ta soeur descendent t,ils
C
I did cry. Im a 31 year old man.
I love how happy WELLS is even though she got third. It's such a huge achievement to get to the Olympics let alone win a medal and I think some athletes forget that
Not if you are from India. We celebrate all these moments that you mentioned.
Exactly even our players perform well and not qualify for medals we appreciate ✌️
If I was competing in the Olympics, I'd be super happy to get a medal at all, to be the 2nd or 3rd best of all the people competing in that event and getting recognised for that is an amazing accomplishment, some people forget that.
Bronze medalist are usually more happy than silver medalist. Silver medallist are usually bummed cause they feel they could've won the gold.
Sally has now retired, thank you for some of the most riveting moments in sport Sally, an all time champion.
Agreed. It is a thrilling race.
The best race I have ever seen....
Rivalry start in 2008 Olympic.
Harper gold, selly silver.....
But won by selly in 2012 Olympic.
Selly gold and Harper silver....
Incredible...
Love from India❤❤❤
Sally Pearson, Dawn Harper & Kellie Wells 3 absolute stars!! so confident yet humble at the same time!
Harper. Humble? Never bothered to congratulate the winner...

I have seen better. All these athletes have some amazing abs
almost as good as shirvo's bouncy package
How many hurdle races do you see where not a single hurdle so much as bobbled the entire race? Amazing race by all the women!
In the rain at Olympic record pace
A great race. How about the great show of sportsmanship by Kellie Wells and Dawn Harper!
Do bad they hate on Lolo Jones who finished a respectable 4th
+Richard Johnson Referring to the initial comment by Barbara Maier.
9175rock ok last time. ? Because they're jealous of the attention she gets. It's not her fault.
+Richard Johnson Im talking about the fact that ppl are expected to show good sportmanship. Idk what your digging at but ok.
+Richard Johnson Still dont know what your saying but IF thats the case then absolutely Harper and Wells show great sportsmanship.
i love how harper is so happy for pearson!
I think she was also happy she set a PB in the race.
@Alchemica Blackwood my gosh you are so busy spreading hate in this comment section. What are you doing with your life??
@Alchemica Blackwood what are American black girls like

One of the best and cleanest hurdle races you'll ever see. Pearson and Harper were flawless. But Sally's start was the difference.
Sally Pearson represented my favorite country on earth and she made it.I love everything about Australia
Wow...the top two finishers matched and set a new Olympic record. That was some race. Incredibly fast!
Don't trust those old old Soviet type records
yes agree, sally was 1st to jump the 1st hurdle i believe. only just, then the gap got bigger , sally has retired now, she was aiming for the next Olympics, but her ankle has major issues now, she was training not that long ago this year
the nervous smiles before the race though. I can tell some are quivering in their bones; I can only imagine the feelings before a race like that. Wow
the smell of the athletes toilets during event time is a clue to how their stomachs are acting
Even as an Aussie Sally fan, can't help being impressed by Dawn Harper. Always doing her best and so joyous and respectful even if she loses.
THAT SCREAM!!! So triumphant!! We absolutely love you Sally. You are a hero to us. Your determination is spectacular and utterly inspirational.
Sally collapsing with joy and exhaustion is how I want to live my life. My queen, Aussie icon, true champ.
I always come back here for:
Sally's scream
Dawn's Smiles
Kellie's screams.
Really nice to see.💚

Amazing race, I am so happy for Sally Pearson. She really looked amazed and full of joy.
Great race!! I'm a proud Australian and the sportsmanship was 1st class from these amazing athletes.
Sally competing with all those ladies from the US. Good for her!
such a superb final. I can't imagine running the way harper did and still finishing second.. the field was that fast!!
One of the most exciting races I've ever seen.
is nobody going to mention that roar from the london crowd for sally, an aussie. as a brit ive loved watchin this woman run.
When she start crying and screaming.. I really want to hug her.. All the hard work payed of.. And he deserve a hug..
:-)
Congratulation
4:11 that feeling you get when you are one of the best in the world is totally irreplaceable.
Sally was never going get beaten in this race.
That focus 💪
Can’t believe Olympics support Aussies Thx so much
Sally WON,Brilliant but Dawn did so well.Congrats.,Sally.....so deserved Big Up to You
Congrats to one of my favorite countries... "Australia".
You deserve it.
As an Australians thank you
What country are you from? I'm Australian
Fantastic run, what an athlete Sally is she looked like a machine when she was running
yes in the mechanical robotic zone, just like JO flo, no wobbles, loose arms, extended leg front kicks , with short back extensions, perfect style for her movements , fantastic viewing these runners
Sally still has the best technique and hurdling I've ever seen... Just superb.
OMG IM CRYING 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 The exhilaration when she was revealed as the winner 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Can't be a better sport than Dawn Harper. Class.

+Tresor ME so so so true, said it beautifully......
Can you imagine that moment when you dream has came true? All her life she trained for that one moment. What a joy.
4:50 don't just chuck her flag on the track like that.... Just walk to her and put it in her hand.
That was I was thinking so I was checking comments to see if anyone else noticed.
It’s from a group of aussies in the stands. They can’t go on the track. There’s photographers in front of them.
7:36 Over and Over By Hot Chip playing just makes the replay even better!!!

she's amazing, just glides over those hurdles
Decathlon and 110 hurdles my top fav among others❤❤🎉🎉
Thanks for the great memories Sally 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
This was an incredible race. Incredible Champions all of them.
Well done to Sally and what an amazing achievement! Not just a first place medal but also an olympic record!
Down harper you make everyone loves you ...❤️from srilanka
Yay Australia 🇦🇺 I’m from there nice to see aus finally won a race that isn’t only Australia
Even after Tokyo the Gold and silver medal winners would have did it again with them times. Just goes to show how stacked this field was.
Some people just love one particular stadium - Sally is arguably the queen of this one after 2017.
GO SALLY MY GIRL!!
Lol I'm learning about Sally pearson
Sally Pearson is such an amazing hurdler, a shame it is that she cannot attend Rio 2016..
Why not?
She tore her hamstring during training.
+Georjah Allen damn i was looking forward to her and Brianna Rollins again
Good that u replied to that statement and clarified the confusion yourself.otherwise I thought she got disqualified on the charges of doping etc
+sbdgrwnmrw she tore her hamstring during training before Olympics.
yes indeed its sad but its ok we have another Aussie representing us.
All the best to runners
Very gracious reaction from the Americans. But Sally - you're SUCH an Aussie!
Sally Pearson smashed them!!!! Go Australia

I have to thank Sally Pearson for everything. She is my role model. Without her I do not think I would be able to jump hurdles

Can you please upload all the Salley pearson 2012 Olympics races? All the trials...full segments , including all the intros??
I was glad Pearson won the gold. She dominated throughout the season prior to the Olympics and in my view deserved it. Fantastic hurdler.
Pearson`s hand was the FIRST !!! She is a champion! Look at 6.26 - her hand was the first .
Her abs are so aesthetic!
I've always admired the sportsmanship and camaraderie of the men and women in athletics, except from Russia of course.
Great to re-watch!
I can imagine what athletes feel that is the happiness of feeling pride!
Also don't diss Dawn, she beat Sally in 08. Don't say it was a fluke either because Dawn beat her in Brussles, Lausanne, Birmingham, and in Zagreb and that's only counting this years diamond league races. so Show Harper some respect. This isn't a case of Bolt. Sally isn't a hurdle God.
what a scream on realisation of the gold!!!! absolute legend!!!
The purpose behind the years training tirelessly is the very journey of perfecting those 13 sec
Most always the smoothest form wins these running races.
