Evelyn Ashford. Something so mature and/or classic about her. Sophisticated style. Humble and underrated. I loved watching her run. Overshadowed by bigger names but what a runner.
@@siriosstar4789 No underrated because if you ask a lot of people who claim to be music fans… Jackson Browne won’t be one of the first hundred brought up
And she didn't need the nails like FloJo or JJ Kersee. Or the USA women's 4x100m in July 2022. False eyelashes and foundation, what? Says a man with 50,000 running miles including 10,000 race miles at age 42
I've been impressed in certain sport events, And Im still rejoicing with their surprise victory , One is Billy Mills in 1964 Tokio olympics and Evelyn Ashford in 1988 Seul South Korea, They developed such power in the end that amazed many and made the crowd shake the sits at the stadium . What a joy . God bless U.S.A.
I was 15yrs old during the 1984 Summer Olympics. I was biting my nails and screaming like I had lost my mind. I, for some stupid reason thought the louder I screamed, the faster she would run. That theory as unrealistic as it was, miraculously worked in thar race. I'll fondly remember that summer AND THAT RACE FOR THE R3ST OF MY LIFE!!!!!

Imagine being the lead runner nearing the finish line and catching Evelyn out of the corner of your eye and knowing there was nothing you could do to fend her off.
Ah, Miss Ashford..I remember that race; notice how she crosses the line first, kept to herself, no celebration, politely handed the baton to the official, and was nonchalant all the way through. Class. But to have a list like this and not have Dave Wottle's comeback in 800 at '72 Olympics is a travesty. The dude was last (as far back as 20 yards) from beginning until he made a move with 300 meters to go//
Thanks for giving her a name..... Seeing these performances for the first time and thinking "Wow... how can someone be so gorgeous?" . If I was 50 years younger, I think I'd be trolling.
The lady who tripped into the water, had a blessing in disguise. LoL. The water would have refreshed her body a bit...giving her a cool state of mind taking in the breeze to make the situation better...
Floria donne tout ce qu'elle a mais malheureusement, ça ne sera pas suffisant. Elle revient fort… Alors… peut-être! Je pense que ça va être juste. Elle revient, elle va passer! Encore encore encore! Ouuuaaaahhhhh!!! C'est monstrueux!
Great comebacks but it seems the world has forgotten the Finnish athlete Lasse Virén and his race in the 1972 olympics, 10000m: He fell half way through the race, got up having lost 50 m to the leaders but still caught up with them and won - setting a new world record! Edit: corrected the spelling, tnx for pointing it out.
Michael Franks' marvellous comeback was the best for me. Got to see the race in full to really appreciate the effort he put in. I recall watching that live and the sheer thrill of it. He did get a little help as Innocent Edbunike (Nigeria) who was leading with just 5 metres to go turned momentarily to see Franks coming up to his shoulder. It caused him to lose a little momentum and Franks just nudged ahead.
so if Ashford is beating the doped up Eastern bloc Marlese Goer what does that tell you? You think that the US athletes were running on kool aid and oranges? Don't be so naive!
@@ynotnilknarf39 Back then I think it was Tang. Even doped she couldn't handle the American is what it tells me. Seen any Germans winning sprint gold medals since the wall came down?
That Evelyn Ashford win is even more spectacular when you consider that this was during the time that the East German women's team were so hopped up on PED's that they had to wear athletic supporters.
@Phoenix 𝙾𝚙𝚎𝚗 𝙼𝚢 PROFILE I can understand that being your favourite Olympic moment. Even as an Australian (swimmer) I love watching this finish by Everlyn. (Of course my favourite Olympic moments are the 2000 Mens Freestyle relay, and Cate Campbell's final leg in the 2020/1 Medley relay). But again, this finish by Everlyn is superb. Love it.
Keep in mind he was pushed out when passing on the final curve. I'm happy to have his autograph on a "Running Brave" CD. Will never sell it. Unless Billy Mills wants it back.
I used to run in high school. It's a strange thing when you're body is done but your mind hasn't thrown in the towel yet. You can almost hear your body saying "STOP!!" with every single step but somehow the mind wins and pushes you through until you collapse.
Have to add to these the two sensational battles between Colette Besson and Lilian Board in the late sixties. Besson came from far behind to snatch a last-gasp 400m gold at the Mexico Olympics, while Board reeled in a seemingly impossible deficit to take the 4x400m title for Britain the following year at the European champs.
The first one and the last one are off the chart unreal because of the limited overall distance and the deficit at the start. In fact, the first one is just not human. Mike Franks had wings that day.
Watched Evelyn Ashford, Flo Jo, Jackie Joyner Kersee, Carl Lewis during’88 Olympics in Seoul, was stationed there at Camp Essayons in Uijongbu. And was a newly wed, brought my wife back from the states during my leave (married during leave). Even though it was non command sponsored (government wouldn’t provide travel expenses nor quarters etc.. Was a good time in my life, and still married to the same great wife of 34 years now (May 20th 1988)
Athletes are so inspiring because it's a sport that takes all your mental, physical strength, your ALL, mind body and spirit to win or finish the race, it's how life is. So, to watch them conquer each step, running towards the finish line, passing everyone else when we( spectators) had no hope for them is truly AWESOME! PAUL ERENG was LEGEND!!!
You won't believe what you see! Check out the new version of the craziest comebacks of all time! ruclips.net/video/Xl-C-GzqOIo/видео.html

That astonishing kick by Floria Guei - and the worthy call of it - never get old. Amazing how fast she closed and edged the field!
It was not fair....she was on a bike...
Best part is the French commentators keep saying, basically, "no way, not gonna happen, too late etc." until she actually wins!
@@raymondpaddy7004that's not what they were saying at all...but you know what.....you say what you want.
Mentally I still can't wrap my head around how she did that kick - I'd love to learn it and mimic it.
😊buenas tardes

Cool as the other side of the pillow
Cool as a fan

Not quite bigger names.. but BIG drugs!
"USA" Those people are from Africa.

Evelyn Ashford! Whew, she takes my breath away!
How ironic is it that she beat a German with “Take My Breath Away” sung by a band named Berlin.
She was so cool calm and collected afterwards, too.
@@sarashepard7504 I know right! She barely looks winded. Amazing!
Floria Guei's race is just unreal. #1

add Safin Hassan's performance on August 2, 2021. It makes her a legend.
Aggree.. 2 time she at behind n last lap she moving so fast to be a winner..
@@mizanhasim5058 don't forget the fall in the 1500
Jaaaaa our Hassan!
True !!
I remember watching that incredible Evelyn Ashford final leg. One of my favorite memories from track.

I love the narrations in different languages.
Floria Guei is a legend!
These athletes give me goose bumps! Awesome.

Evelyn Ashford is my favorite runner of all time. It was great to see her once again in all her glory.
Mine too
OMG, Evelyn Ashford... The best and all class & reserve...
Yeah, this video has a awesome end with Evelyn Ashford shutting it down! She is bad. 🥰
thanks man, these videos inspire me the most 👍🏼
These athletes give me goose bumps! Awesome.
3:41 I love this last breathtaking race

He didn’t make a move. Everyone else just slowed down. It was a famously even paced race.
Also Borzakovskiy 800 m win in 2004 Olympics.
You sound silly
Very nice HD. Evelyn Ashford's come from behind victory in the 4x100 relay will always be my favorite.😷
I'm so inspired by your content! 🙏
Every one of those finishes was so inspirational and what life is/should be about. Never, Give up!
Hopefully you learn how to use comma next time. What you said is true though :-)
The lady who tripped into the water, had a blessing in disguise. LoL. The water would have refreshed her body a bit...giving her a cool state of mind taking in the breeze to make the situation better...
I don't think you've had any racing experience to say this.
Probably right to some degree, but not a good strategy.
@@teddydavis3504 didn’t know an old man watches these kinda of videos, no offense just saying …no offense XD
@@az.x25 how u still saying XD I remember saying that like 6 years ago
@Brendan
Man, lighten up a little. Michael Ai was clearly kidding. 😂
Floria donne tout ce qu'elle a mais malheureusement, ça ne sera pas suffisant.
Elle revient fort…
Alors… peut-être!
Je pense que ça va être juste.
Elle revient, elle va passer!
Encore encore encore!
Ouuuaaaahhhhh!!! C'est monstrueux!
Finally, the last one is AMAZING & AWESOME wow!!!!!!
Evelyn Ashford. Many hats off to you. All time legend.
I will forever respect Evelyn Ashford far more than the runner who handed her the baton.
Great video. Some, almost unbelievable, and very inspiring.
Great video, highly inspiring. What is the name of the soundtrack used?
Great comebacks but it seems the world has forgotten the Finnish athlete Lasse Virén and his race in the 1972 olympics, 10000m: He fell half way through the race, got up having lost 50 m to the leaders but still caught up with them and won - setting a new world record!
Edit: corrected the spelling, tnx for pointing it out.
He is Virén, not Wirén. Earth's most famous truck driver. I did born 1970, so I did skip 1972 competition.
@@MeMe-ph1wdLasse Viren he was police
Yes I know / tiedän kyllä.
Yes, absolutely one of the greatest performances in 10,000m history. What an extraordinary runner.
Dave Wottle of the U.S., 1972 olympic 800 meters easily deserves to be on this list. Truly amazing comeback.
Yep - it's Evelyn Ashford for me too! I always thought of her as "The Natural".
What a "SPECTACULAR" MOMENT...SALUTE!!
Brilliant! This is the human spirit. This is greatness.
Aufstehen und weitermachen 💪
Was für eine Leistung!
Michael Franks' marvellous comeback was the best for me. Got to see the race in full to really appreciate the effort he put in. I recall watching that live and the sheer thrill of it.

Lasse Virén 1972 5000m. I was named after him because of the run.
I remember in the 1976 Olympics in the marathon Frank Shorter feared him the most.
WOW!!!! This is a great Video. Thank you for posting it.
Goosebumps on the French commentary
I can translate it for you if you want
Excellente vidéo!
Muchas gracias 😊
Thank you, you should do more of these races and let us watch, enjoy them all.
That USA women’s 4X100 was whew! Evelyn Ashford saved everyone
Tremendos esfuerzos y sacrificios que NO les sirven a NADIE...y son irrepetibles por sus actores....!!!!!!
That indoor WR run was insane!
I remember Ereng. He was always chilling at the back, than got into improbable gear and blasted past everyone.
Love it! An idea you should show the review of it like the finishing at the line to see how close
Good idea!
@@MisterFilOfficial phenomenal video, thanks
I'm an Evelyn Ashford fan way back in high school. She was a running champion even then LOL.
Italy's 4x100 in Tokyo deserves to make the list. Tortu's last 100m were out of this world.
Lasse Viréns fall and comeback on 10 000 m in the 1972 Olympics really needs to be on a list like this.
Only reason I clicked the link to begin with. :D Nope, not in there.
You have never saw run Henry Rono
@@pmue437 Ok? Does that matter? Lasse should still be on the list.
The Greatest comeback ever and he broke the world record
Yup. Thumbs down from me. Greatest one in the 70’
That powerful burst of pace in the final lap by Ereng as the presumably British commentator keeps chanting out Barbosa's name.
Beautiful
Thanks for these. Some great moments. I had nearly forgotten the Evelyn Ashford win in Seoul. It made me so happy to see it again.
Yes, the great Evelyn Ashford! Wonderful.
I love this stuff
Watching Evelyn dust the GDR science projects is still very satisfying all these years later
The Greatest of all time Evelyn
It just put the biggest smile on my face to watch her run 😂 😂
@@williamtaylor1559 OooOooo...
so if Ashford is beating the doped up Eastern bloc Marlese Goer what does that tell you? You think that the US athletes were running on kool aid and oranges?
Don't be so naive!
@@ynotnilknarf39 Back then I think it was Tang. Even doped she couldn't handle the American is what it tells me. Seen any Germans winning sprint gold medals since the wall came down?
Never give up awesome video 🤙🤙
The 4 x 100 relay can be the most exciting race of all.
awesome video!!
Even the ones in a different language I can still feel the energy
I love how classy Ashford was in victory. Just quietly handed the baton to the official.
What? Rather than go Bruce Lee all over him with it?
did you hear the entire stadium delirious when Floria Guei cross the line first ? literaly a shouting explosion that's chilling me entirely. !
I love how Evelyn Ashford breezed into the finish line. Amazing!
She was flying. Just made it look easy because her face remains so relaxed.
Thanks for this video●
Floria Guei, it was sooooo impressive !
gosh i miss my running days. its tough getting old
You are never too old to go out and run :)
Great video
Floria Guey , best of all times
You're right,absolutely,what a race!!
My God I can feel the tense just from the caster hyping it up 🤣😂
Evelyn Ashford was always a thrill to watch.
She was so graceful. That confrontation with Marlies Gohr was something else.
don't know about you, guys, but these phoenixes... damn, something got into my eyes!
The fury of Evelyn Ashford pounding rubber at 3:42 is incredible to behold
Spacetime at the end of a 400m race is one hell of a thing.
The ones with the passionate commentators are the best.
At 1:55 they show Paul Chelimo beginning his strong come from behind kick, but his comeback falls just short of Joshua Cheptegei at the finish line.
The Juantorena comeback in a 4x400 and the Wottle comeback are, by far, the most ridiculous ones ever. Can't believe those were not included.
My life needs this
That Evelyn Ashford win is even more spectacular when you consider that this was during the time that the East German women's team were so hopped up on PED's that they had to wear athletic supporters.
Nice video I just subbed bro
Always loved the way Ashford ran ..like someone stole something from her
No matter how many times I watch Ashford in this race...it's STUNNING!
Alberto Cova - Helsinki 1983. One of my favourite comebacks.
Yes! He jumped from 5th to 1st in like 5 seconds.
It's called good old blood doping. Everyone did it back in the day.
Everlyn Ashford - what a legend.
It looks like she still had a lot left in her tank.
@Phoenix 𝙾𝚙𝚎𝚗 𝙼𝚢 PROFILE I can understand that being your favourite Olympic moment. Even as an Australian (swimmer) I love watching this finish by Everlyn. (Of course my favourite Olympic moments are the 2000 Mens Freestyle relay, and Cate Campbell's final leg in the 2020/1 Medley relay). But again, this finish by Everlyn is superb. Love it.
Billy Mills, best comeback ever, hands down the most historical comeback, all others fall short of the finish line
Obea Moore - the hardest sprint - 400 meters. Incredible come back.
Keep in mind he was pushed out when passing on the final curve.
I'm happy to have his autograph on a "Running Brave" CD.
Will never sell it. Unless Billy Mills wants it back.
💙 great Video 💜
Thanks 💚
How do you leave out both Billy Mills and Dave Wottle?
They must be white
Fantastic !!! This is true spirit, this is Sport !

@0:49 Is immortal. She literally came out of the depths of hell to win it..
I see what you did here hahahahhah!
Watch the whole race, she comes from veeeeryyyyy far
Evelyn Ashford...what a great runner.
anyone else getting excited and willing them on as they come past the other runners...even though you know they're obviously going to win?
The first one and the last one are off the chart unreal because of the limited overall distance and the deficit at the start. In fact, the first one is just not human. Mike Franks had wings that day.
Evelyn Ashford's 1988 Olympics 4x100 finish is my all time absolute favorite.
Watched Evelyn Ashford, Flo Jo, Jackie Joyner Kersee, Carl Lewis during’88 Olympics in Seoul, was stationed there at Camp Essayons in Uijongbu.
And was a newly wed, brought my wife back from the states during my leave (married during leave). Even though it was non command sponsored (government wouldn’t provide travel expenses nor quarters etc..
Was a good time in my life, and still married to the same great wife of 34 years now (May 20th 1988)
that splash of water gave her energy
What is the background music you use for these videos....they are fantastic!
Need to add Quincy Hall 400m Olympic final to this list
Thanks will do for the next vid 🙌

Evelyn Ashford, what a beauty in every way. : )
Great motion video Tq boss
Seb Coe WR going to ereng was incredible, made more special by the great Ron Pickering , brilliant vocals.

PAUL ERENG was LEGEND!!!
my goodness how thrilling... but those two at the end wow.. they were gettin it and seemed only to speed up as they went
4x100m women of 1998 European Championships in Budapest is missing. The most unbelievable come back I have ever seen in sprint.
Hearing the excited announcers in a different language was funny.
