watching this in 2023 with Veronica retired and just given birth to her 2nd child, and Alyson retired with a child as well. They had a long, successful and friendly rivalry. Truly icons.
Maybe Veronica has gotten slower (or the competition has changed) since this moment in her career but she still is a solid runner, still in great shape.
A statue of Veronica Campbell is going to be in the Jamaican National Stadium just like that of our spint Queen Merlene Ottey. Veronica Campbell is taking spinting to another level...dont forget my girl Sherone Simpson will be fighting for the throne too. Mi a tell you...jamaican female athletes overall are doing a good job (i'm proud).
Congrats to VCB but Allyson is just incredible in this race. i still wonder how many 18yrs old would line up in an elite final of race and still medal.
i always love watching videos of allysons first olympics. she graduated from my high school and recently visited. i'm always like shit she was 18 at the olympics and i'm bout to be 18 and...not at the olympics lmao. We're all very proud of her here in LA

Veronica was too far out front? no! Veronica was just too fast
VCB is one of the LIVING LEGENDS of the world athletics! Bravo!

My goodness VCB turned the race out. Leading the entire time. I enjoyed watching a young Allyson doing her best to catch VCB!
to this day this was one of my most favorite Olympic games to watch! Allyson was so young and still got the Silver medal!

I know why Allyson did not win... she has not yet begun to use the tall socks. Allyson "tall socks" Felix is just fantastic.
big up veronica campbell, that vere tech girl, and that my past high school. i miss it there. big all vere tech student class of 2004.
the American commentators were not expecting that. GO VCB
"Allyson felix only 18 years old and you've got to believe she'll be back here many times." They had no idea. Legend!

Much respect to VCB. My girl Allo Felix has such a graceful style never seen before on the track. My fav of all time.
VCB DUSTED that ENTIRE field from gun to tape!

Ah so good to see the jamaican flag. Thanks for posting. I loved this race, i remember cheering loud for Veronica.
VCB is obviously a legend but I just love Aileen Bailey. Love her energy. Best hype woman/wing woman, even when you don't need one😁.
bloodclat vcb was a monster in this race wow that race was perfection, big up to felix too
I cried, I knocked pot cover, I screamed! I'm still crying.
Allyson has to be the cutest sprinter of all time!!!!!
