The Jamaican team set a new world record of 36.84s at the London 2012 Games.
Here we re-live the full race coverage as Jamaica's team of Carter, Frater, Blake and Bolt take the gold medal.
Since 1896, athletics has been on the programme of each edition of the Games of the Olympiad. Its presence on the Games programme has allowed its popularity to increase across the world. This popularity was also strengthened by the creation of the IAAF in 1912. Women's events appeared for the first time at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, while the men's programme was standardised as of the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. Although at the beginning women were authorised to participate in only some events, today their programme is almost identical to that of the men. =========================================

Can we all take a moment to appreciate Yohan Blake who made up so much ground in the 3rd leg. That is probably the best 3rd leg run i've ever seen. INSANE!!!
was thinking the exact same thing
WOW just f. . . . . g wow
Yes, it was. I was in the stadium and saw this race, I will never forget this experience or attending the 2012 Olympics in London...Priceless😍
@@lornabeckford5419 oh wow mam
@@lornabeckford5419 will you friendship with me
I think Yohan Blake is the most underrated runner in history
Agreed...but the fact is..he's the 2nd fastest man in the world..dont forget that..peace...
so true
Yeah because he existed at the same time as Bolt so ofcourse his gonna be under his shadow
Personal best(s): 100 m: 9.69 (Lausanne 2012); 200 m: 19.26 (Brussels 2011); 400 m: 46.32 (Kingston 2013) - Every sprinter could only dream of such accomplishments today.
@@danielh3179 shame you jealous
Yohan Blake’s 3rd leg run was unbelievable.
Ayo! 😳📸 sussy baka
@@elonmosque4294😂😂😂😂😂
No foul on the pleat…he included the word “run” after third leg. Play on!
😂😂😂
For real
Unreal.
Yea he made it happen
Blake received the Baton at 19.1, gave it to bolt at 28.1. He ran 9 sec.
Bolt received at 28.1, finished at 36.84, he ran 100m at 8.74! 😳
That’s because in relay you don’t have to bend as low as you do in the beginning. The initial start takes that time
19+8=27 🤨
19.10+9+8.74=36.84
In reality First guys runs more than 100m with baton in his hand rest of them run less 100m with baton in their hand cause after first guy, rest of them start running even before getting the baton.
@@AmitYadav-yo5ce nahh first leg runs 80 2nd runs 120 3rd runs 80 4th runs 100
Running a 4 man race with the 2 fastest men in history is like a cheat code
Lol
Nope, it's rubberband AI
@@skydivemaniac that comment was brilliant! "Cheetah code" indeed.
Then I think basketball should be removed from Olympic games, US as a country is a cheat code!!!!
David Olalekan they would have had the third or fourth if asafa didn’t get injured
Blake to Bolt...
The two fastest humans ever handing the batton to one another...
Spectacular!
Lol look at that gap Jamaica and usa give them lol😂
@@botskype9386 if Blake didnt have injury problems a fter this he would take usain bolt place as the best sprinter right now.

*Just a friendly reminder that Jamaica have broken the 4×100 world record ten times*
@Omar Williams mens
Please produce your source for this info.
@@dajosco115 Jamaica broke it twice in the 1968 Olympic games in the heats + semi-finals. However we came in 4th in the finals. USA won Gold but did NOT break the WR set by Jamaica. 1952 Jamaica broke both the 4x100 & 4x400 World Records at those games. Beijing 2208, Daegu 2011 & London 2012. I can't account for the rest though.
@@st3wi3D6x is commendable no need to embellish.
Don’t be a hater !! Ok grammar police .
Yohan Blake is a phenomenal sprinter and a great teammate. His third leg run in the 4x100m relay at the 2012 London Olympics was one of the best I have ever seen. He ran like a beast and gave Usain Bolt a slight lead over the Americans, who had a strong team as well. Blake showed his speed, strength, and determination to help Jamaica win the gold medal and break the world record. He deserves a lot of respect and admiration for his performance. Yohan Blake, you are a legend! 👏👏👏
This looks like it was written by chat GPT
@@SsSoutlaw4SsSfr
The US had a very strong team. The Jamaicans were just historical here.
Lovr your cimment. Was abdolute truth
anyone from 2024 here?
🇯🇲
Yes, can’t stop watching this race. Jamaica all the way
Me, sadly after 11 years at 2am-
Still here🎉
Yeah
Yohan Blake was the real hero of this race. He always gets overshadowed by the glory of Bolt. He should get more recognition.
Facts
True
No blake did 9.01 in here and bolt did 8.56 the fastest of all time stop hating
@@hocineretiel6068 Who said anything about hating? I love Bolt. But do you ever see people praising Blake near as much as they praise Bolt? No. In this race, Blake made it a lot easier for Bolt. The finisher normally gets all the attention. And if that finisher is as big a name as Usain Bolt, people simply forget the contribution of others. That's what I am against
@@guhadebojyoti ah okey i totally agree with you but when i saw you saying blake the real hero i thaught you meant he did faster time than bolt which is not true but ok.
Blake without a doubt ran the best 3rd leg in the history of the 4x100m relay. He absolutely blitzed it. The fastest bend I've seen anyone run.
Agreed it was truly remarkable. He was running around that bend so fast I don’t know how he stayed on his feet.
it was amazing bend I agree, you need to watch Bolt's 2008 Olympics 3rd leg, the dude was flying
What’s a bend?
Renzo running in a curved line
@@Renzo8375867 , running in curves as opposed to straight....
11 years later and this continues to be the greatest moment in the history of the Olympics. London 2012 seems like yesterday. Can't believe so many years have passed since that time.
Time is flying men !
The 4x100m women's WR by the American team in London is not too bad either! Epic moment when Carmelita Jeter points at the clock on the finishing line.
There are many moments like this
Time truly flies.....here am I still watching this video in 2024...and it still gives me chills
I so wish i could watch it live in the ground. I was 12 back then
I'm USA all the way, but when I saw that smooth handoff to Blake, I shook my head and I knew what was going to happen. Much respect to Team Jamaica! Best Men's race ever!
Agreed but Usain had to run the way he did because USA Ryan Bailey pushed him really hard. The USA ran the world record Usain broke on the night, they ran their socks off so I appreciate their effort too 👏🏾
@@BelleSebbboth teams were insane.
Thank you for gracious comments Jackbo ..Jamaican here. Sometimes I find it sad when there seems to be conflict between Jamaican and American Athletes. I have grown up being very proud of all that American athletes have achieved. There needs to be healthy competition but also healthy respect.. we are proud of you and you should be proud of us..
No one will ever run a bend like that ever again. Yohan Blake was and always will be the most underrated sprinter of all time because of Usain Bolt.
He tore up that bend.
when you're born in the wrong era 😢
i had to watch the video a couple times to understand... This is so true... i watched the change off and how he caught buddy on the stagger... amazing!!!!
Yohan Blake is one of the greatest but got overshadowed by bolt
@@cashyup so ibi bolt's fault 😂😅
Yohan Blake ran the best bend of all time, that was incredible to watch
そうだ！
貴様の言う通りだ！
UN SPECTACLE
Awe inspiring
This is the absolutely most amazing relay. Yohan Blake ran a blazing leg.
To me the LONDON 2012 remains one of the best olympics yet .. The atmosphere , the fans the coverage , And as a PROUD KENYAN , I cannot leave without the mention of our own DAVID RUDISHA ... This was epic ... Jamaicans really came through
Hail up brother hail up!
🇰🇪 🇯🇲
Exactly, however my country not taken Gold 😢 London 2012 is amazing with crowd and some many great athlete ❤
Best Olympics hands down! That’s what made me leave Canada, move to the UK and study event management
Athens 2004 was better.
Ej Guerrouj getting gold in the 1500 m and 5000 m was terrific
London was not the best, Beijing 4 years earlier was.
When Bolt doesn’t jog, it’s a new world record.
True🤣
Pretty much lol
Paul C how about when Bolt walks?
Paul C he’s not jogging
😂😂😂facts
Blake's run was simply out of this world
Agreed🤗🙌
Possibly abs probably the greatest relay 3rd leg that has and ever will be run until I’m dead that’s for sure
Correct. Blake is great ....
No doubts
Blake"s Run was Mind Blowing🙀, Probably the Greatest bend of all time⚡
Sad People don't recognise his greatness because of Bolt....
Considering every other comment is about Blake i think people finally are!
@@Celtic-Saxon Well said.
Did you read any other comments before posting this...??
Obviously not.
True, that's the greatest bend of all time
Nesta Carter was so important to the Jamaicans. He gave the team breathing room to make safe exchanges while the other teams were over striding, trying to keep up. He is truly one of the greatest and one of the most underrated sprinters.
Agreed!
he burden the long run in the team he run almost 110m and almost 2nd runner experience that. it's a part of a plan
and he cheated :)
The medicine he took in 2008 was not prohibited at that time. After months the medicine was put into the prohibited list. So I think that he is not on purpose since Jamaica could win without any medicines at that time obviously.@@matveymitsik1707

It's funny how other countries forget their own Athletes when Usain Bolt starts running.... Greatest of all time who's watching in 2021😂

Great. The huge selection base the US v the high quality that comes from Jamaica. Always going to be a great one.
The roar from the crowd as Blake hands the baton to Bolt...USA and Jamaica neck and neck...goosebumps.
now itali dominates not USA and jamaica anymore😢
Yohan Blake bend excellence helped the team to smash the world record......the best bend ever ran in history of relay................have been watching this for last 9 years, and it still remain magical
Same
True
Really was!!! 100%
Everyday i watch this😂
@@botskype9386 me too multiple times a day 🤣
Blake is perfect for 3rd leg. Due to his low center gravity, he is made for running in curves.
Agreed
@@jacejohnson7113 Yes. Bolt is formidable in the bends in 200m. It is one of his greatest advantages too!
5:35, You know it is a legendary race when the commentator goes like; "At this stage, I have to say that I do not know who came third."
Little did he know then. Who came third will change twice! T&T then France, after US gets DQed on doping charges!

__EVERYONE CHEATS.__
Always blows my mind watching Yohan Blake run that bend, he literally activated human nos
He knew Ryan Bailey was nothing to take lightly. Bolt needed every edge. Blake gave him that edge. Gaye was outgunned. Not a curve runner
He sure did!
@@ckelly9747Gay ran the exact same split time as Blake in this race.
Yohan blake performed one of the greatest runs of all time
Nobody beats Bolt 1 on 1. Insane stride. What a legend!
This is one of the races that truly shows how great Bolt was. Ryan Bailey who he ran against in that last leg has a personal best of 9.88 which in many World Champion/Olympic years would net him a medal, but he wasn't close to Bolts speed despite being in the top 0.01% of his sport. This race shows how much faster Bolt is than not just any 100m professional sprinter, but to a 100m FINALIST Olympic caliber sprinter.
Having Blake and Bolt to do your last 2 legs is like playing the Olympics with a cheat code.
The real mvp was the coach who organized the leg order he knew who to put where
Baron Gueye so true. Race looked competitive until Yohan got the baton. It was the beginning of the end for everyone else
@Roscoe Hoffman
Wym? USA was ahead on Blake’s leg.
@@pcmld2267 no Blake beat him half way through
Blake on them drugs.
Greatest 3rd leg in athletics history.
Best ever
Blake is a monster that was an amazing third leg
Literally
@@thecoach11 was it quicker than Bolt third leg in Beijing 2008?
Blake's run was amazing
I believe this is the race where Yohan's 3rd leg split is the fastest in history... that was exceptional... the US couldn't have set their team up any better. Jamaica's squad was the fastest on paper ...and on the track.
Blake the best in 3rd leg in history. Bolt undoubtedly the greatest of all time 🔥💯
Blake made it all possible for Bolt to kill it.
True
Without Blake game over
Agreed
Oo
whatever still a team🇯🇲
Funny how the happiest medal winners are gold and bronze. Gold because they beat everyone else, bronze because they're glad they got a medal at all. Getting silver is never satisfying because it's not gold.
plumeria66 Very dead comment thread, but this isn’t always the case. Check out the 3k steeple from 2016, Evan Jager was extremely happy lol
But the worst place to get is fourth. Can you imagine being one place away from an Olympic medal?
Ha wrong
APPLE SEEDS 360 the worst thing that can happen is what happened to Husillos last year tho. He won the world championship with NR AR and WL and he was disqualified for almost not touching the line
I remember Jimmy Fallon saying that Silver is worst that Bronze because with a bronze medal you can pretend it’s gold with its similar color scheme and say “It’s Gold Ladies 😏.” What a funny guy
Jamaica produces such an insane sprinters. Blake's magical run and bolt's storming finish retain the title.
Yohan Blake runs a bend like a dream. That third leg is amazing.
Will forever be the Best Relay of All time🙌🏽 We all had goosebumps!

The baton hand-over from Michael Frater to Yohan Blake was as perfect as perfect can be. Frater made up some ground, Yohan Blake was already in 3rd gear when he got the baton and he flew. Insanely fast. Bolt ran hard to finish it off. The US had no chance.

Brutally speeds.

Nesta Carter, Yohan Blake and Usain Bolt is an actual dream team
Bolt's parents must have been time travelers to give him that name
Lol
Speedsters can time travel so..
same with mo'farah, the winner of the marathon can't remember when
Lol he’s name is Usain
“Dis boy looks FAST. Honey whacha think?”
The simple fact that such a small country can produce this amount of track and field talent is mind boggling. Imagine if they had the USA population and money... the Olympics would be a national competition lol
😂 True that
It’s because we run everywhere! I’ve been running since age two to primary school, 6 miles one way (I walked as an infant of course ☺️).
That is why badmind wont end
I firmly believe if the Jamaicans funded swimming like they do track & field, with world-class coaches and everything, they can be a swimming powerhouse too.
one of the best races of all time. I just can't stop watching it. So beautiful. I'm missing these sprinters tho! Usain bolt is immortal and so is Yohan Blake! I love 🇯🇲
It was an incredible day in Jamaica. Traffic block and all eyes on the big TV in Half way tree🖤💚💛

Blake was an absolute beast in this one, running so fast and his part of the race wasn't running in a straight line which is much harder imo...dem that speed
Can you send me the fottlget
I'm not so sure. If you're right handed you may actually run a counter clockwise curve faster than a straightaway because you're non dominant right leg has less strain on it. I'm super right handed and I run much faster around a crtve

Out of all the records in mens sprinting - I believe this is the most untouchable record there is. Yohan runs the best corner of all time in the 3rd - and off course Bolt down the back stretch is self-explanatory. I don't think this record will ever be broken.

its rounded down so you mean 36.84s
including your wedding night?
+shelby3024's Commenting ahahahah
Sul Wa
We have to give credit where credit is due. If Blake hadn’t perform his role on the 3rd leg as he did, the outcome would not be a World Record. Give him the ultimate Kudos! 👏🏽
It probably would've still been a world record. Just not as emphatic. The US equalled the previous world record. Beating them wouldve meant beating the record and seeing how much of a gap Bolt had on Bailey on that last leg, he would've probably still won, just not as convincingly
In 2022 and I cannot seem to find another breathtaking Race. Well Done Jamaica. This is the best By far
I was there to witness this. The slow build up of crowd noise anticipating Usain Bolt, and then the roar at 4:28 was absolutely spine tingling!!!! In 41 years of living, I've never experienced anything like it, and probably never will!!!!
My partner and I traveled from Washington, DC to London for this Olympics. We had tickets to the heats, but could not get tickets for the Final 4x100. Great to know this experience will be somewhere at the top of your memory books...Blessings!
Can you imagine, being there? Goddamn I hate being broke
@@lornabeckford5419 sad
That must have truly been a fantastic feeling!
Lucky you. I wish I could see one of Usain Bolt runs in the real world.
who else saw when usain bolt ran past the women and she thought he was giving it to her lmao
lady got trolled
I saw that.
ikr
Everyone saw that
poor women
2012 hands down was the best Olympics I've ever watched. Not just this race but so many other events. It was so magical. It was the first and probably only time I will feel so much emotion, spirit and excitement about the Olympics. I'm smiling like an idiot rewatching this 😁
The fact that Jamaica is less than 3 mil population makes it eighth world wonder. I mean USA is 330 mil population backed up with technology and money, and still Jamaican girls took the gold n silver (100m and 200m). Thumbs up and hats down for Jamaica.
When everyone knew they're fighting for second place 😂
😂😂😂 Yea cos they already knew who the first belongs to.
Exactly
They were actually fighting for third ... USA and Jamaica were way out in front
@@ggqbc No. They were in fact fighting for second. U.S. was stripped of the medal for doping violation. Trinidad & Tobago got the silver and France got the bronze, because Canada was disqualified for stepping on the line.
damn Blake tore up that 3rd leg, his leg was insane wow
He was the reason they won in my opinion
Blake wasn't the reason they won he was the reason they broke the record
+Emmanuel ya got that right they might as well give Blake a gold medal called the reason they broke the record
He was magnificent!!
Blake and Bolt are the reason the record was broken, it wouldn't have happened without the other. But Dude even if Bolt was 5-7m behind he still would have won.
This will forever be watched until eternity 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🔥🔥✌🏿
I love this race. It's so epic from start to finish. The US starter and Gatlin put on a clinic off the rip.. Gatlin had so much distance going into the third leg. But Blake is out of this world. Followed with Bolt.. My goodness..
Yohan Blake is the winner!! look at how fast he bridge that gap and extended it by far, he's the superstar in this event. His legs has wheels, lol amazing run!!
I remember in Beijing, men's 4x100 swimming for team usa. it was a showdown between usa and france. usa won because of John Lezak. that made phelps got 8 golds. if not for Lezak, i think phelps will get only 7 gold.
same here, because of Yohan Blake also. in relay it's not just a team effort, but it's obvious too that some other individuals are exerting their very best for the team.
Ediots bolt and the American get the botton the same time he deserves credit too
That’s cause the bend is probably 80 meters where as bolt prob ran 110 meters
Blake received the Baton at 19.1, gave it to bolt at 28.1. He ran 9 sec.
Bolt received at 29.1, finished at 36.84, he ran 100m at 8.74! … Bolt is the winner
Blake will always be underated but for me, no one in history of sprinters has ever ran a bend that fast...thumbs up Yohane Blake
If you watch a lot of bolts solo runs most of the time he starts to slow down at the end because he cares about winning but not so much about breaking records
But in this race he does his best to the end because he knows his team ran their hardest and deserved to get the best results they could
But Bolt started slow, the receiving baton from Blake was not smooth enough. Bolt should start moving bit earlier
I don't agree with you fully here. Every athelete play the sport to break the record(automatically means winning) whether they accept it or not.
Record is what that get recognition, fame. Records is what motivate athletes to give their best, it is what make lengeds out of winners.
Also think about it if it was not about records then what's the point of WR, OR etc.
People have watched this video because it is about breaking the record.
In 2016 Rio Olympics, Bolt didn't break any record but the expectations were always there.
@@tawchaentertainment1488 Could also be that he was playing it safe, when he has confidence he is a lot faster than the American he's up against, it would be stupid to try a perfect exchange when a mediocre safe one will secure the win anyway.
That’s an extremely nice thing to say
Spot on.
I think these Olympic games are unmatched so far,it was superb and Yohan was actually the star of this race
I didn't get tired watching this race it was phenomenon. The changeover from Blake to Usain bolt was so quick.
Imagine seeing Blake and Bolt in the same team against you .
Heart attack lol
Nightmare
Fight for second because u already know
@@zashawnwilliams8734 right
Lol. I would just give up, because I know I done lose. I wouldn't even make an attempt to try to run Lol
Who heard when the commentator said “at this stage I don’t know who came third”😂😂😂😂😂 killed me
I went back to rewind the race and still can't see who came in 3rd lol
Me either..lol
Canada got third place but no one was really paying attention to that... let’s be honest everyone was watching Jamaica vs USA lol
The announcer is a twat.
The commentator is a comedian
I can't stop watching this race. The most outstanding leg being Yohan Blake's. Team Jamaica did well
To see 400 meters covered that fast, is simply insane!!!
Imagine training your whole life to become one of the fastest people ever, getting the baton in first place and sprinting as hard as possible, then watching usain bolt cruise past you
He would have expected it, he knew who was next to him...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Definitely did not get the baton in first place
Not sure if you are making reference to the race above but Blake handed the baton to Bolt first.
@@keemo8330 But the US hand off was smoother
Blake ran so fast he could barely open his eyes from all that head wind hitting his face.
🤣‼️
💀💀
“I have to say I do not know who came third “ I screamed 😂😂
I will always revisit this race, what a terrific ran by Yohan Blake, for me he is my hero for the race.. wow!!
Yohan Blake made sure this race was a world record, what a change over and accelerating master class
I think yohan blake brought it home for jamaica, he ran the 3rd leg very fast
Yess he did if he didn't do great USA should have won good job Yohan even tho he is in the shadow of usain
emmanuel kamara Not really in his shadow, given he has the 2nd fastest times in history in both the 100 and 200m.
december akins Without a doubt, Jamaica was behind the US and Blake brought them even and Bolt finished by pulling away
december akins I agree...He ran sub 9 on that leg but wasn't mentioned...
Nick DeVita I don't know if it was so much that Bolt was pulling away as he had the baton first and and started his sprinting phases earlier. As you know there is not much you can do until you get the baton and if you start pushing to early the person passing it to you can't catch up. Baily obviously got beat but Baily held his own.. That Jamaican team is a Beast!!!
Back to Watch this & the Pace on Blake's Leg is something else, it's really scary. He was running soo fast that his legs were on Flash Mode
I wish I was a member of this Jamaica dream relay team! Historic!
Still gives me goosebumps every single time. Blake deserves a lot of credit
So much more credit.
Yes he does that's why they won he made up soooooooo much ground
Yohan blake reached the highest speed in history.
Is that a fact?
@@gustielteso Definitely best 3rd leg speed history and probably best speed in history
@@MaykiScofield Bolt still owns that with 27.78 mph which was achieved in his 9.58.
@@n8george blake was probably running at least 28 during that bend
@@sephyy.c5360 Nah the fastest recorded speeds will always be met on a straightaway. Curve running is slower because you have to exert lateral force. His leg was wild though
The world record has been taken apart....❤❤❤❤❤ GOOSEBUMPS
Yohan Blake maintaining his balance while bending like that at that pace is so incredible to watch
Blake's leg was easily the best, set up Bolt ftw
No he handed the baton to Usain before Gay handed his over
+Cleo Ruthan 4th to 1st you mean?
It's only because he had the corner?
They were already leading....
+MrKarlozz Nah they were behind the Americans and Blake got them in front of them with 100 meters to go
How many saw he didn't hand over the baton to the ref, and she started laughing?
Me ✋
They later ended up harassing him for it 😒
jerry berry why tho? What does a baton have to do with them winning the race 🤨
@@ajahwilliams3379 All teams were supposed to return the baton but the Jamaican team wanted to keep it as a souvenir from their victory.
Who wears such type of stupid dress for referee
I watched this live 11 years ago. Still gives chills whenever I watch this again.
Blake is a BEAST. When he flicks on the afterburners, it's a beautiful thing to behold.
