    I ran track for years and so did my daughter. Outta hundreds of races I've never seen someone 1/3 a lap back with 1/2 a lap left to run win....that was incredible. She ran 300 meters faster than these others ran 200 meters.

      She tapped into that mindset that the Navy SEALs have learned how to hone so well.... The reason selection is so brutal for that group, isn't because they want to see who's physically strongest and has the highest pain tolerance, not even close. It's to find out who has the MENTAL FORTITUDE to make it through those trials. Anyway, long story not so short, once they've whittled down the men to the handful who innately possess the right attitude, THEN they teach them how to turn that mental fortitude into a freaking Super Power. This is the same phenomenon as a mother suddenly finding the strength to lift a car that's got her child pinned, or how someone can suddenly lift someone else up and out of an emergency. She was 100% in the zone, no mental inhibitions, just using every fiber of her strength to accomplish her mission. Each and every one of us possess this sort of ability, scaled to our individual body's and various limitations that come with those of course. Just remember, limits are fun to break, so whatever yours may be, go for it!!

      This what I respect in athletes. A girl like this not accepting defeat and literally throwing herself face first onto hot asphalt while traveling at 10mph in order to guarantee victory.
      You have those viral videos of runners who are about to win a race stop to help a hurt opponent cross the finish line, and I'm sorry, that makes for a good video...but as an athlete myself, I just can't respect that. In order to pay tribute to a fallen/defeated opponent you treat the competition with respect. You go over after you've won and say "good job."

      Joking aside, I agree, these kind of videos are so much better, it's more about who has the better fire. Who's willing to sprint themselves to death? That makes a really good video.

      Some observations from a one time, longtime track coach....that poor kid wearing yellow in front is likely a distance runner and probably had run the mile (or even the 2-mile) shortly beforehand, which is likely why her coach had her run anchor.
      That team probably was short a runner and asked her to fill in, and she likely begrudgingly agreed, as even their eventual fifth place finish would pick up team points....she was brutally slow at this distance and has the look and gait of a distance runner. Perhaps her coach said "I know you're tired after running the mile, just jog it and finish." - who knows for sure.
      Surprisingly, she unwittingly played a big part in the outcome, as the next two girls (striped jersey and blue/white singlet) seemed to push too hard early to catch her....if she had not been where she was, those two probably would have paced better and held on....
      One more thing - having coached both genders, the first thing I observed is that, unlike boys, the ability gap between girls can be huge, thus the reason you see so many monster comebacks in girl races, much more so than boys. That seems to be the case here, that girl in red had a gigantic disparity in talent...still, have to love the comeback, she gave it her all in a relay race, which shows heart.

      @R GT *You* look again. The girl in stripes crosses the line at :04. At :11 you can see the eventual winner was 3 seconds behind her, meaning she crossed the line at about :07. She finished at 1:04+, giving a split of close to :58. I ran :57.6 in 8th grade.
      A "quarter lap ahead" is only 5 seconds? LOL!!! That would be a :20 400. 😂😂😂😂 You've never run a track race in your life, have you?
      She's actually less than 1/8th of a lap ahead, roughly 8 seconds ahead of the eventual winner, and finished about 1.5 seconds behind, giving her a :68 split. Pretty pathetic for an anchor.

    After spending wayyyyyy too much time watching the video dozens of times, I calculated her split time to be between 51'' and 52".
    I don't know how old she was at the time but since then, she got the 100 m and 200 m Irish records and she has also run the 400m in around 52s.

There was another runner who, right after the start, goes through the same spot about 3 seconds later, let's say she must have left with 0:08 and is overtaken by the winner with about 100m left. The winner (Phil Healy) was one second behind her when she passed the 150m, I can risk saying that she left 2 seconds later, so it would be 0:10 seconds of video and if she arrived with 1:04 she must have done 400m in 54 or in the best hypothesis 53 seconds which is her personal record in 2018 (Wikipedia) // Sorry for my english, i'm using translator.

    I ran highschool track in the 100m and usually the anchor position in the 4x100m relay. I only ever ran the 400m once - couldn't pace myself and used up all the gas halfway thru. I never forgot the feeling of watchin' everyone pass me at the 200m mark. I always marveled at people who could sustain the effort in the 400m.

      @@---bk4lg Actually this is a comment I made earlier in this video which might clear things up.
      ***Slight observations from a one time track coach....that poor kid wearing yellow in front is likely a distance runner and probably had run the mile (or even the 2-mile) beforehand (a race run just before the relays), which is likely why her coach had her run anchor.
      That team probably was short a runner and asked her to fill in, and she likely begrudgingly agreed, as even their eventual fifth place finish would pick up team points....she was brutally slow at this distance and has the look and gait of a distance runner. Surprisingly she unwittingly played a big part in the outcome, as the next two girls (striped jersey and blue/white singlet) seemed to push too hard early to catch her....if she had not been where she was, those two probably would have paced better and held on....
      One more thing - having coached both genders, the first thing I observed is that, unlike boys, the disparity in ability between girls can be huge, thus the reason you see so many monster comebacks in girl races, much more so than boys. That seems to be the case here, that girl in red had a gigantic disparity in talent...still, have to love the comeback, she gave it her all in a relay race, which shows heart.

    • @mikewubben2844

      That was my thought too, a distance runner filling in on a relay to help her team. She has a nice stride, she just doesn’t have the turnover rate for the middle distances. It’s also important that strategy sometimes dictates putting the fastest runner on a leg other than the anchor. They probably put their fastest runner 1, 2, or 3 to give this girl a couple more minutes rest.

  • @geniegogo
    @geniegogo Před 7 lety +25

    Wow... I think she started 3/4 of a lap behind! She must have been sprinting from the start to even have a hope of catching up ... then when she saw everyone up front dying she was able to borrow some energy to keep her pace up for a strong finish - then she remembered she took 125% and had to return it, so she took a nap.

  • @matthewxcountry
    @matthewxcountry Před 7 lety +40

    You might wonder how is it that someone can win from that far behind in one lap? It seems almost impossible. So I analyzed the tape. The woman in yellow is running unusually slow for a competitive 400m race. Michelle Finn (in blue) ran a 62 (she's a distance runner so its to be expected that she isn't that fast), which means the gal in yellow ran at best a 68. To put these times in perspective, elite female sprinters run 48-51, and good high school/college runners are in the 52 - 59 range. No wonder the gal in red is able to catch the leaders. A fantastic comeback, but only possible because those up front ran so slow. You might wonder why are such normal people competing against really fast people? Well, what likely happened is that those teams with the big lead at the start of hte lap put their fastest runners up first and so they are the teams 4th fastest runner being caught by the other teams 1st fastest runner.
