    Athletics Women's 4 x 100m Relay Final Full Replay from the Olympic Stadium at the London 2012 Olympic Games. -- 10 August 2012
    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.

Amazing starter and turn runner in the first leg, long strider with high top end speed for the longest leg, short strong stride for the quick curve, and finish with an all around great runner and 100m silver medalist. Not to mention 3 really good handoffs. Just incredible. This won't be broken for a long time.

      Felix may not have the best start, but once she is gone, no one wants any part of her!!! She may never qualify in the 100m (ehh again-ish), but she needs to always be a part of that 4x100! Knight and Madison own that turn also. USA will have some tough decisions to make for Rio, because we have got faster 100m open runners who are not fit for the relay, but how can they be denied the spot they have "earned" by doing better in the individual event?

Bianca is a yr older than me and in high school I actually had the privilege of seeing her race twice in person at the Mississippi State track meet. Never seen someone run with so much power grace and stride. She's still one of the best track athletes our state has seen. This race was such an iconic moment.

    I've watched a lot of track meets at different levels. This is by far the best relay race I have ever seen. The handoffs were textbook, and that's why the ladies were able to run so fast. As fast as the USA was, Jamaica and Ukraine also got around the track at a fast pace. That makes the USA's time even more jaw dropping. When Jeter got that last handoff, I mean it was like some rocket launchers came out of her shoes. She absolutely flew down that last 100. It was electrifying to watch it live, and still gives me goosebumps today!
