I miss Christine. What an exciting athlete to watch. Her style of running meant there was always something exciting happening on the home straight. What a legend
@@ohhiitsjustme3445 It’s true. Sanya has talked about it numerous times. It’s actually amazing that she was even able to make it to the final while recovering
@@mlol6000 no he's right she's a Christian. She talks about how hard this decision was for her in her book. She struggled a lot with it even after the Olympics.
Lol! How is it an upset if the world champion won? Anyway, kudos to Christine. Gotta love her technique. Let everyone wear themselves out, then comes from behind to edge them out.
Because especially around this time, Sanya was basically undefeated in all of the 400m races she ran throughout the season. She was consistently under 50 seconds , and I’m pretty sure she still has the records for most sub 50 times. She ran the 48.70 American record around this time too. There were several races where she beat these same women by meters. So she really was the favorite going into the race. But Christine was always a beast !
@@jaredmatthews8585 I know. And I hear you. But if you have the commonwealth and world champion facing off with an under 50 seconds favourite, you don’t call it an upset. Sub 50 or 49 doesn’t matter unless it’s executed on the D-day when it actually matters. I love SRR too, but the outcome was predictable. Either Christine or Sanya could have won, and it wouldn’t have been an upset either way.
@@seunwrites279 Idk why you are making this so difficult…what do you mean it doesn’t matter? If someone is running fast times leading up to a major event then they will be the favorite…just like shelly ann is the favorite right now despite elaine having the fastest time of anyone alive.
@@ajollypanda4175 I would agree except, it’s not an upset. An upset would be if anyone else except Christine or SRR had won. Running the best times in the world doesn’t guarantee a win. An actual win at a deciding event does. Case in point, Sha’Carri.
@@jaredmatthews8585 Sanya later revealed that she had an abortion two weeks before the 2008 Beijing Games so that explains her dominance earlier in the season then to soft choke at the big stage.
Her style of running was to close in the the final 150m. This meant that unless someone was leading her the pace of the lead tended to dictate the times that Christine would clock. It was only against the best that she would run sub 50's.
This race was an exact replica of the 2005 world championship final in Helsinki Sanya Richards-Ross didn't learn the lessons from that race, she went out far too quickly, ran out of gas in the last 50m and got overhauled by Tonique Williams-Darling who completed the Olympic/World title double. Here she did the same tactics went out too quickly over the first 300m she blasted past and paid for it in the home straight. Ohorougu was more evenly paced in comparison she entered the home straight in around about 4th behind Richards-Ross and 2 of the 3 Russians in this race Gashina and Ferova but due to running an even paced race she had more gas in the tank in the last 100m and overhauled the lot to replicate Williams-Darling's Olympic/World title double. To make things worse for Richards-Ross she didn't get the silver due to Shericka Williams who also ran an evenly paced race albeit she was further behind going into the home straight she was about 6th behind all 3 Russians blitzed the last 100m and took the silver.
@@MB-nh9bx Yes they do - I'm British and I know exactly what you mean because the BBC always feature the british runner ending up in 7th place, but not exclusively and not at the exclusion of the winner, who will get the primary focus at the end of the race. The US coverage is way too insular.
I still cannot get over this upset....tactically, Sanya did everything wrong !! WHY ?? Such a huge mistake to start as she did...worst was between 150 and 300 , way too fast...
So the world champion won the race and a 2 time silver medalist came second.. why is only Ross getting the coverage? This reminds me of the time bolt lost to Gatlin they only doing coverage on bolt..
She had the fastest time going into the meet so she was considered the favorite to win. In track and field, they tend to hype up the favorites. But as you saw here, anything can happen ❤️
@@mongoslade277she didnt have cramps she ran out too fast and couldn't maintain her form u can see her shoulders swinging hands she is obviously tired.. cramps is not it
They keep repeating that she has been world number 1 for three years, but doesn't have a global title to her name. WTF? 2006 was no global final, 2007 was the only time she didn't win prior to this race. So it's not like she had three chances and blew them all. At least not at the time of preparing for this race!
She just went off way too fast, nerves caused her to blow it not cramp. Her excuse was a rather sad attempt to rationalize her loss. Christine was always a very strong and smart athelete.
Just 3 missed tests thats all. It was well documented. She was 100% a clean athlete. The whereabouts testing system was in its infancy in 2005 so it was extremely flawed. Thankfully they've made alot of updates to the system so athletes can communicate easier with the testers.
@@phoenixforce6595 lol lots of excuses here. "in its infancy" please she didn't miss her drug tests by accident. Everyone knows she was juiced to the gills and ducking the tests on purpose.

The Brit was given a big time gift..We all know Ross went out too fast and everyone else closed in on her at the end..But that’s the way it goes and as crazy as it sounds the Brit actually won. Sometimes even average runners are blessed with the gold when others make mistakes

It's Shericka Williams for me, that drive and determination, priceless
I remember watching this live and jumping out my seat watching Christine on the home straight. Fantastic race!
Sanya the upmost competitor and spokesperson!! She was destined for greatness
Sanya ran like she meant to win! I was rooting for her. It hurts that her leg started cramping up, but there is more than one way to be a winner.
@@chillbro2275What is running like she meant to win ?

Here after her book interview. Can definitely understand where her head may have been.
Then she returned for London 2012 and won gold.
and ohurogu came in second
@@efosso5723 Then Ohuruogu claimed gold in the Worlds a year later in 2013. Sanya was faster but Christine was always smarter.

Her sister is running now. She ran in the 22 WC.
Yes
I'm Jamaican and I use to love to see her run
The American commontary,thank god for uk commontary, in athletics
A generational talent from a British perspectiva. I miss her too! We don’t produce many multi global winners in athletics.
I love women's track and field, I think Flo Jo , Gail Devers, were some I watched that drew me to the sport , and the sport is just terrific,
Absolutely
I had a real crush on Gail Devers.
This never gets old to rewatch
Christine is a legend!!
Man, rewatching this I’m still shocked how badly Sanya just died the last 50m! And Ohurogu wow, can she close! Wheeew
She had had a termination 3 weeks prior to Beijing.still she medaled , bad ass woman I say!!
@@maxcook6823 what do u mean “termination”? If ur talking abortion there’s no way, because Sanya is a Christian and would never do that

I was so happy for her
She did good not to die out completely. She saved enuff for 3rd.
Iam a great fan of christi from india what a runner the thriller she is
From the UK - When the Indian women won the 4 x 400m Commonwealth gold it bought tears to my eyes. Spine chilling!!
After watching The Pivot episode and knowing what she was going through at that time. I’m surprised she made it to this point.
So happy for Christina well done.
superb pacing by Christine ....masterclass of timing Olympic gold champion
Sherika Williams ❤️
loved how Sherika closed in along with Christine
Shericka Williams run enuh, my Gawd!!! 👏🏾
Did not see that coming… she has such grace tho
Thank you for posting
Christine ran 49s only five times to get 3 golds and 1 silver.

Keep posting
She was being honest, you can see her cramp at 130m and start grimacing at 170m, lucky she survived for a bronze, but at full health she wins gold.
That too is part of sport
Yeah, I remember this, I was really rooting for Sanya.
She went out way too fast her legs died on her but redeemed herself in the 400m relay by beating the steroid out Russian
Stunning
I watched Christine Ohurughu beating Tonique Williamson in Commonwealth Games. I just knew she will go all the way.
Might have been nice to cover the winner instead of 95% of the coverage talking about the athlete that came third.
Exactly!
US commentators and airings cover the US athletes. The same occurs for other countries, they cover their runners.

They does this all the time, not a word from the winners if they are not American
The broadcast is American if you want to hear more about the British winner find their broadcast. They are paid for team USA.
Didn’t like the commentators, they basically called her out :-/
Sad loss for Sanya but Christine WOW!
Exactly lol especially Atto😂
Sanya ran a perfect 300m race.
Can you please upload the men and women’s 1,500, 5,000, and 10,000? Also the marathons? It would be amazing
