The Jamaican team set a new world record of 36.84s at the London 2012 Games.
Here we re-live the full race coverage as Jamaica's team of Carter, Frater, Blake and Bolt take the gold medal.
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. =========================================

Blake to Bolt...
The two fastest humans ever handing the batton to one another...
Spectacular!
Lol look at that gap Jamaica and usa give them lol😂
@@botskype9386 if Blake didnt have injury problems a fter this he would take usain bolt place as the best sprinter right now.
Current best sprinter
@@reaganthai9529 True bolt also had a injury
@@reaganthai9529 Nah, blake was nowhere close.
Can we all take a moment to appreciate Yohan Blake who made up so much ground in the 3rd leg. That is probably the best 3rd leg run i've ever seen. INSANE!!!
was thinking the exact same thing
WOW just f. . . . . g wow
Yes, it was. I was in the stadium and saw this race, I will never forget this experience or attending the 2012 Olympics in London...Priceless😍
@@lornabeckford5419 oh wow mam
@@lornabeckford5419 will you friendship with me
Blake received the Baton at 19.1, gave it to bolt at 28.1. He ran 9 sec.
Bolt received at 28.1, finished at 36.84, he ran 100m at 8.74! 😳
That’s because in relay you don’t have to bend as low as you do in the beginning. The initial start takes that time
19+8=27 🤨
19.10+9+8.74=36.84
In reality First guys runs more than 100m with baton in his hand rest of them run less 100m with baton in their hand cause after first guy, rest of them start running even before getting the baton.
@@AmitYadav-yo5ce nahh first leg runs 80 2nd runs 120 3rd runs 80 4th runs 100
Yohan Blake’s 3rd leg run was unbelievable.
Ayo! 😳📸 sussy baka
@@elonmosque4294😂😂😂😂😂
No foul on the pleat…he included the word “run” after third leg. Play on!
😂😂😂
For real
Unreal.
Yea he made it happen
I think Yohan Blake is the most underrated runner in history
Agreed...but the fact is..he's the 2nd fastest man in the world..dont forget that..peace...
so true
Yeah because he existed at the same time as Bolt so ofcourse his gonna be under his shadow
Personal best(s): 100 m: 9.69 (Lausanne 2012); 200 m: 19.26 (Brussels 2011); 400 m: 46.32 (Kingston 2013) - Every sprinter could only dream of such accomplishments today.
@@danielh3179 shame you jealous
Yohan Blake was the real hero of this race. He always gets overshadowed by the glory of Bolt. He should get more recognition.
Facts
True
No blake did 9.01 in here and bolt did 8.56 the fastest of all time stop hating
@@hocineretiel6068 Who said anything about hating? I love Bolt. But do you ever see people praising Blake near as much as they praise Bolt? No. In this race, Blake made it a lot easier for Bolt. The finisher normally gets all the attention. And if that finisher is as big a name as Usain Bolt, people simply forget the contribution of others. That's what I am against
@@guhadebojyoti ah okey i totally agree with you but when i saw you saying blake the real hero i thaught you meant he did faster time than bolt which is not true but ok.
2024 and still watching this incredible history race.
Me too😅
Mee too
Same here
Yohan Blake is a phenomenal sprinter and a great teammate. His third leg run in the 4x100m relay at the 2012 London Olympics was one of the best I have ever seen. He ran like a beast and gave Usain Bolt a slight lead over the Americans, who had a strong team as well. Blake showed his speed, strength, and determination to help Jamaica win the gold medal and break the world record. He deserves a lot of respect and admiration for his performance. Yohan Blake, you are a legend! 👏👏👏
This looks like it was written by chat GPT

The US had a very strong team. The Jamaicans were just historical here.

🎉Jamaican and proud!😊
11 years later and this continues to be the greatest moment in the history of the Olympics. London 2012 seems like yesterday. Can't believe so many years have passed since that time.
Time is flying men !
The 4x100m women's WR by the American team in London is not too bad either! Epic moment when Carmelita Jeter points at the clock on the finishing line.
There are many moments like this
Time truly flies.....here am I still watching this video in 2024...and it still gives me chills
I so wish i could watch it live in the ground. I was 12 back then
*Just a friendly reminder that Jamaica have broken the 4×100 world record ten times*
@Omar Williams mens
Please produce your source for this info.
@@dajosco115 Jamaica broke it twice in the 1968 Olympic games in the heats + semi-finals. However we came in 4th in the finals. USA won Gold but did NOT break the WR set by Jamaica. 1952 Jamaica broke both the 4x100 & 4x400 World Records at those games. Beijing 2208, Daegu 2011 & London 2012. I can't account for the rest though.
@@st3wi3D6x is commendable no need to embellish.
Don’t be a hater !! Ok grammar police .
Blake without a doubt ran the best 3rd leg in the history of the 4x100m relay. He absolutely blitzed it. The fastest bend I've seen anyone run.
Agreed it was truly remarkable. He was running around that bend so fast I don’t know how he stayed on his feet.
it was amazing bend I agree, you need to watch Bolt's 2008 Olympics 3rd leg, the dude was flying
What’s a bend?
Renzo running in a curved line
@@Renzo8375867 , running in curves as opposed to straight....
anyone from 2024 here?
🇯🇲
Yes, can’t stop watching this race. Jamaica all the way
Me, sadly after 11 years at 2am-
Still here🎉
Yeah
I'm USA all the way, but when I saw that smooth handoff to Blake, I shook my head and I knew what was going to happen. Much respect to Team Jamaica! Best Men's race ever!
Agreed but Usain had to run the way he did because USA Ryan Bailey pushed him really hard. The USA ran the world record Usain broke on the night, they ran their socks off so I appreciate their effort too 👏🏾
@@BelleSebbboth teams were insane.
Thank you for gracious comments Jackbo ..Jamaican here. Sometimes I find it sad when there seems to be conflict between Jamaican and American Athletes. I have grown up being very proud of all that American athletes have achieved. There needs to be healthy competition but also healthy respect.. we are proud of you and you should be proud of us..
No one will ever run a bend like that ever again. Yohan Blake was and always will be the most underrated sprinter of all time because of Usain Bolt.
He tore up that bend.
when you're born in the wrong era 😢
i had to watch the video a couple times to understand... This is so true... i watched the change off and how he caught buddy on the stagger... amazing!!!!
Yohan Blake is one of the greatest but got overshadowed by bolt
@@cashyup so ibi bolt's fault 😂😅
When Bolt doesn’t jog, it’s a new world record.
True🤣
Pretty much lol
Paul C how about when Bolt walks?
Paul C he’s not jogging

This is the absolutely most amazing relay. Yohan Blake ran a blazing leg.
I can never get tired of this race. I miss this U.S.-Jamaica rivalry.
Great. The huge selection base the US v the high quality that comes from Jamaica. Always going to be a great one.
Yohan Blake ran the best bend of all time, that was incredible to watch
そうだ！
貴様の言う通りだ！
UN SPECTACLE
Awe inspiring
It's funny how other countries forget their own Athletes when Usain Bolt starts running.... Greatest of all time who's watching in 2021😂
He might be a shmuck. He likes hogging spotlite for self. Hardley acknowlege. Blake n others. When he got dusted he pretend he injured. Act like he did it alone.
I honestly cannot wait for olympics this year in Tokyo
@@lilyrose8007 Well I hope it's as interesting as the hype. 💯💯
Here here
@@cynthiacromwell8002 lol. You’re a hateful MESS. And it’s *acknowledge 🙄
Blake"s Run was Mind Blowing🙀, Probably the Greatest bend of all time⚡
Sad People don't recognise his greatness because of Bolt....
Considering every other comment is about Blake i think people finally are!
@@Celtic-Saxon Well said.
Did you read any other comments before posting this...??
Obviously not.
True, that's the greatest bend of all time
To me the LONDON 2012 remains one of the best olympics yet .. The atmosphere , the fans the coverage , And as a PROUD KENYAN , I cannot leave without the mention of our own DAVID RUDISHA ... This was epic ... Jamaicans really came through
Hail up brother hail up!
🇰🇪 🇯🇲
Exactly, however my country not taken Gold 😢 London 2012 is amazing with crowd and some many great athlete ❤
Best Olympics hands down! That’s what made me leave Canada, move to the UK and study event management
Athens 2004 was better.
Ej Guerrouj getting gold in the 1500 m and 5000 m was terrific
London was not the best, Beijing 4 years earlier was.
Blake's run was simply out of this world
Agreed🤗🙌
Possibly abs probably the greatest relay 3rd leg that has and ever will be run until I’m dead that’s for sure
Correct. Blake is great ....
No doubts
Funny how the happiest medal winners are gold and bronze. Gold because they beat everyone else, bronze because they're glad they got a medal at all. Getting silver is never satisfying because it's not gold.
plumeria66 Very dead comment thread, but this isn’t always the case. Check out the 3k steeple from 2016, Evan Jager was extremely happy lol
But the worst place to get is fourth. Can you imagine being one place away from an Olympic medal?
Ha wrong
APPLE SEEDS 360 the worst thing that can happen is what happened to Husillos last year tho. He won the world championship with NR AR and WL and he was disqualified for almost not touching the line
I remember Jimmy Fallon saying that Silver is worst that Bronze because with a bronze medal you can pretend it’s gold with its similar color scheme and say “It’s Gold Ladies 😏.” What a funny guy
Nesta Carter was so important to the Jamaicans. He gave the team breathing room to make safe exchanges while the other teams were over striding, trying to keep up. He is truly one of the greatest and one of the most underrated sprinters.
Agreed!
he burden the long run in the team he run almost 110m and almost 2nd runner experience that. it's a part of a plan
and he cheated :)
The medicine he took in 2008 was not prohibited at that time. After months the medicine was put into the prohibited list. So I think that he is not on purpose since Jamaica could win without any medicines at that time obviously.@@matveymitsik1707

Where is Jamaica in 2019? lol! the USA will break that, fool!

@@amangulia4916 Yeah bro Fr, I personally feel like Jamaica would never be #1 in Track and Field again like they were back then I dont know...
@@amangulia4916 🙄 duh
Blake is perfect for 3rd leg. Due to his low center gravity, he is made for running in curves.
Agreed
@@jacejohnson7113 Yes. Bolt is formidable in the bends in 200m. It is one of his greatest advantages too!
Nobody beats Bolt 1 on 1. Insane stride. What a legend!
This is one of the races that truly shows how great Bolt was. Ryan Bailey who he ran against in that last leg has a personal best of 9.88 which in many World Champion/Olympic years would net him a medal, but he wasn't close to Bolts speed despite being in the top 0.01% of his sport. This race shows how much faster Bolt is than not just any 100m professional sprinter, but to a 100m FINALIST Olympic caliber sprinter.
Yohan blake performed one of the greatest runs of all time
when USA runs a 37.04 and ties the old record and Jamaica beats the world record, what a great race
blizzero96 yeah

Always blows my mind watching Yohan Blake run that bend, he literally activated human nos
He knew Ryan Bailey was nothing to take lightly. Bolt needed every edge. Blake gave him that edge. Gaye was outgunned. Not a curve runner
He sure did!
@@ckelly9747Gay ran the exact same split time as Blake in this race.
I believe this is the race where Yohan's 3rd leg split is the fastest in history... that was exceptional... the US couldn't have set their team up any better. Jamaica's squad was the fastest on paper ...and on the track.
It's a decade later, & I'm still in awe of this performance.
Bolt was the hero but Blake was the real mvp in this race.
Blake turned *Super Saiyan* mode in this one
@@mayattv4986 hahahaha yea!
That 3rd exchange is WOW.
Yes, you are right!
@@mayattv4986 I swear
The baton hand-over from Michael Frater to Yohan Blake was as perfect as perfect can be. Frater made up some ground, Yohan Blake was already in 3rd gear when he got the baton and he flew. Insanely fast. Bolt ran hard to finish it off. The US had no chance.
This comment 🙌🏾
This race just sends you chill s
Love this race 🥳🥳👍
Brutally speeds.
🏃🏾♂️💨💨💨💨
THE BEST Olympics EVER. Just wonderful, all of the athletes in every aspect
It was an incredible day in Jamaica. Traffic block and all eyes on the big TV in Half way tree🖤💚💛
Blake made it all possible for Bolt to kill it.
True
Without Blake game over
Agreed
Oo
whatever still a team🇯🇲
Having Blake and Bolt to do your last 2 legs is like playing the Olympics with a cheat code.
The real mvp was the coach who organized the leg order he knew who to put where
Baron Gueye so true. Race looked competitive until Yohan got the baton. It was the beginning of the end for everyone else
@Roscoe Hoffman
Wym? USA was ahead on Blake’s leg.
@@pcmld2267 no Blake beat him half way through
Blake on them drugs.
Those baton changes were so smooth. Probably the two best runs ever by Jamaica and USA
Jamaica produces such an insane sprinters. Blake's magical run and bolt's storming finish retain the title.
The simple fact that such a small country can produce this amount of track and field talent is mind boggling. Imagine if they had the USA population and money... the Olympics would be a national competition lol
😂 True that
It’s because we run everywhere! I’ve been running since age two to primary school, 6 miles one way (I walked as an infant of course ☺️).
That is why badmind wont end
I firmly believe if the Jamaicans funded swimming like they do track & field, with world-class coaches and everything, they can be a swimming powerhouse too.
Greatest 3rd leg in athletics history.
Best ever
Blake is a monster that was an amazing third leg
Literally
@@thecoach11 was it quicker than Bolt third leg in Beijing 2008?
Blake's run was amazing
I honestly think that this world record might just never be broken again.
one of the best races of all time. I just can't stop watching it. So beautiful. I'm missing these sprinters tho! Usain bolt is immortal and so is Yohan Blake! I love 🇯🇲
That Yohan Blake Sprint is magical⚡ What a finish by Bolt🔥
Bro was flying, crazy
Yes. Flying
Lies again? Fake Records
@@NazriB cry
@@NazriB if you want cry louder because we are not hearing ur crying sounds 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ur entire generation can't never beat this record
Bolt's parents must have been time travelers to give him that name
Lol
Speedsters can time travel so..
same with mo'farah, the winner of the marathon can't remember when
Lol he’s name is Usain
“Dis boy looks FAST. Honey whacha think?”
We have to give credit where credit is due. If Blake hadn’t perform his role on the 3rd leg as he did, the outcome would not be a World Record. Give him the ultimate Kudos! 👏🏽
It probably would've still been a world record. Just not as emphatic. The US equalled the previous world record. Beating them wouldve meant beating the record and seeing how much of a gap Bolt had on Bailey on that last leg, he would've probably still won, just not as convincingly
Out of all the records in mens sprinting - I believe this is the most untouchable record there is. Yohan runs the best corner of all time in the 3rd - and off course Bolt down the back stretch is self-explanatory. I don't think this record will ever be broken.
This will forever be the GREATEST relay race of all time.

Blake was an absolute beast in this one, running so fast and his part of the race wasn't running in a straight line which is much harder imo...dem that speed
Can you send me the fottlget
I'm not so sure. If you're right handed you may actually run a counter clockwise curve faster than a straightaway because you're non dominant right leg has less strain on it. I'm super right handed and I run much faster around a crtve
@@brianstark2219 na
I strongly agree to this comment. Blake really did a great job at the curve
@@brianstark2219 huh?
Nesta Carter, Yohan Blake and Usain Bolt is an actual dream team
To think this was 10 years ago now. Every time i watch it I still get so many goosebumps. The energy of that event was something special
who else saw when usain bolt ran past the women and she thought he was giving it to her lmao
lady got trolled
I saw that.
ikr
Everyone saw that
poor women
been watching this for 8 years and still an unbelievable performance by Jamaica.. especially third leg by Blake!
Word
🇿🇼 greetings from byo days!
I do too. Every once in a while I watch this and the US Swim Team when the last second touch won it.
In 2022 and I cannot seem to find another breathtaking Race. Well Done Jamaica. This is the best By far
The fact that Jamaica is less than 3 mil population makes it eighth world wonder. I mean USA is 330 mil population backed up with technology and money, and still Jamaican girls took the gold n silver (100m and 200m). Thumbs up and hats down for Jamaica.
When everyone knew they're fighting for second place 😂
😂😂😂 Yea cos they already knew who the first belongs to.
Exactly
They were actually fighting for third ... USA and Jamaica were way out in front
@@ggqbc No. They were in fact fighting for second. U.S. was stripped of the medal for doping violation. Trinidad & Tobago got the silver and France got the bronze, because Canada was disqualified for stepping on the line.
Yohan Blake is the winner!! look at how fast he bridge that gap and extended it by far, he's the superstar in this event. His legs has wheels, lol amazing run!!
I remember in Beijing, men's 4x100 swimming for team usa. it was a showdown between usa and france. usa won because of John Lezak. that made phelps got 8 golds. if not for Lezak, i think phelps will get only 7 gold.
same here, because of Yohan Blake also. in relay it's not just a team effort, but it's obvious too that some other individuals are exerting their very best for the team.
Ediots bolt and the American get the botton the same time he deserves credit too
That’s cause the bend is probably 80 meters where as bolt prob ran 110 meters
Blake received the Baton at 19.1, gave it to bolt at 28.1. He ran 9 sec.
Bolt received at 29.1, finished at 36.84, he ran 100m at 8.74! … Bolt is the winner
Blake will always be underated but for me, no one in history of sprinters has ever ran a bend that fast...thumbs up Yohane Blake
Bolt we missed you so much in Tokyo 2020. Who is watching in 2022😂
I love this race. It's so epic from start to finish. The US starter and Gatlin put on a clinic off the rip.. Gatlin had so much distance going into the third leg. But Blake is out of this world. Followed with Bolt.. My goodness..
I think yohan blake brought it home for jamaica, he ran the 3rd leg very fast
Yess he did if he didn't do great USA should have won good job Yohan even tho he is in the shadow of usain
emmanuel kamara Not really in his shadow, given he has the 2nd fastest times in history in both the 100 and 200m.
december akins Without a doubt, Jamaica was behind the US and Blake brought them even and Bolt finished by pulling away
december akins I agree...He ran sub 9 on that leg but wasn't mentioned...
Nick DeVita I don't know if it was so much that Bolt was pulling away as he had the baton first and and started his sprinting phases earlier. As you know there is not much you can do until you get the baton and if you start pushing to early the person passing it to you can't catch up. Baily obviously got beat but Baily held his own.. That Jamaican team is a Beast!!!
If you watch a lot of bolts solo runs most of the time he starts to slow down at the end because he cares about winning but not so much about breaking records
But in this race he does his best to the end because he knows his team ran their hardest and deserved to get the best results they could
But Bolt started slow, the receiving baton from Blake was not smooth enough. Bolt should start moving bit earlier
I don't agree with you fully here. Every athelete play the sport to break the record(automatically means winning) whether they accept it or not.
Record is what that get recognition, fame. Records is what motivate athletes to give their best, it is what make lengeds out of winners.
Also think about it if it was not about records then what's the point of WR, OR etc.
People have watched this video because it is about breaking the record.
In 2016 Rio Olympics, Bolt didn't break any record but the expectations were always there.
@@tawchaentertainment1488 Could also be that he was playing it safe, when he has confidence he is a lot faster than the American he's up against, it would be stupid to try a perfect exchange when a mediocre safe one will secure the win anyway.
That’s an extremely nice thing to say
Spot on.
I think these Olympic games are unmatched so far,it was superb and Yohan was actually the star of this race
2012 hands down was the best Olympics I've ever watched. Not just this race but so many other events. It was so magical. It was the first and probably only time I will feel so much emotion, spirit and excitement about the Olympics. I'm smiling like an idiot rewatching this 😁
damn Blake tore up that 3rd leg, his leg was insane wow
He was the reason they won in my opinion
Blake wasn't the reason they won he was the reason they broke the record
+Emmanuel ya got that right they might as well give Blake a gold medal called the reason they broke the record
He was magnificent!!
Blake and Bolt are the reason the record was broken, it wouldn't have happened without the other. But Dude even if Bolt was 5-7m behind he still would have won.
Best 36.85 seconds of my life.
Lmao
its rounded down so you mean 36.84s
including your wedding night?

I can't stop watching this race. The most outstanding leg being Yohan Blake's. Team Jamaica did well
I was there to witness this. The slow build up of crowd noise anticipating Usain Bolt, and then the roar at 4:28 was absolutely spine tingling!!!! In 41 years of living, I've never experienced anything like it, and probably never will!!!!
My partner and I traveled from Washington, DC to London for this Olympics. We had tickets to the heats, but could not get tickets for the Final 4x100. Great to know this experience will be somewhere at the top of your memory books...Blessings!
Can you imagine, being there? Goddamn I hate being broke
@@lornabeckford5419 sad
That must have truly been a fantastic feeling!
Lucky you. I wish I could see one of Usain Bolt runs in the real world.
Who heard when the commentator said “at this stage I don’t know who came third”😂😂😂😂😂 killed me
I went back to rewind the race and still can't see who came in 3rd lol
Me either..lol
Canada got third place but no one was really paying attention to that... let’s be honest everyone was watching Jamaica vs USA lol
The announcer is a twat.
The commentator is a comedian
I didn't get tired watching this race it was phenomenon. The changeover from Blake to Usain bolt was so quick.
Back to Watch this & the Pace on Blake's Leg is something else, it's really scary. He was running soo fast that his legs were on Flash Mode
Imagine training your whole life to become one of the fastest people ever, getting the baton in first place and sprinting as hard as possible, then watching usain bolt cruise past you
He would have expected it, he knew who was next to him...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Definitely did not get the baton in first place
Not sure if you are making reference to the race above but Blake handed the baton to Bolt first.
@@keemo8330 But the US hand off was smoother
Blake ran so fast he could barely open his eyes from all that head wind hitting his face.
🤣‼️
💀💀
I wish I was a member of this Jamaica dream relay team! Historic!
I will always revisit this race, what a terrific ran by Yohan Blake, for me he is my hero for the race.. wow!!
Imagine seeing Blake and Bolt in the same team against you .
Heart attack lol
Nightmare
Fight for second because u already know
@@zashawnwilliams8734 right
Lol. I would just give up, because I know I done lose. I wouldn't even make an attempt to try to run Lol
Blake's leg was easily the best, set up Bolt ftw
No he handed the baton to Usain before Gay handed his over
+Cleo Ruthan 4th to 1st you mean?
It's only because he had the corner?
They were already leading....
+MrKarlozz Nah they were behind the Americans and Blake got them in front of them with 100 meters to go
To see 400 meters covered that fast, is simply insane!!!
36.84 I still get goosebumps every time I watch this video at 1.25x playback speed. These guys are the real life “Flash” and Blake ran 9 seconds.
Hold on hold on, if you pay attention to the time that Bolt got the baton you'll see that it's about 28.4 seconds, he finished at 36.84, so...that means bolt ran his leg in like 8 seconds, that insane
Maximillian Ullstrom yes I did see that! Unreal
He had a running start. Makes a big difference from standing.
Each leg avg 9.2 secs. Forget about a running start! These speeds are incredible. Evolution at it's finest before our eyes.
@@deonmorris5934 err, that's not really 'evolution'. Yea it's evolution that we got to this point but these people are fast because they train and push their body's to the limit. We're not really made to sprint
I'm not sure, perhaps it could be angular acceleration. There's a difference between running on the straight line and curved line. The velocity changes in angular motion, because the displacement changes. This is my opinion, I could be wrong
Yohan Blake made sure this race was a world record, what a change over and accelerating master class
I'm proud to share blood, heritage and history with the peculiar people of Jamaica.
I watched this live 11 years ago. Still gives chills whenever I watch this again.
How many saw he didn't hand over the baton to the ref, and she started laughing?
Me ✋
They later ended up harassing him for it 😒
jerry berry why tho? What does a baton have to do with them winning the race 🤨
@@ajahwilliams3379 All teams were supposed to return the baton but the Jamaican team wanted to keep it as a souvenir from their victory.
Who wears such type of stupid dress for referee
The man who does the second leg and switches onto Blake does a phenomenal job. The race was won there and then the last two were just pure demons of power athleticism!
That's Michael Frater - one of the best relay back stretch runners of all time. He didn't have the speed of some of our best but a more steady hand and reliable pace you couldn't ask for.
Frater. A legend
That is true! He is amazing.
Yea it was a good exchange. The US had a very bad handoff
The world record has been taken apart....❤❤❤❤❤ GOOSEBUMPS
I love the 4x1 relay, this is just beautiful. But this is some of the best commentary I’ve ever heard. it’s great how he captures what’s happening and catches that relay to the third leg and turning it up as the tides were turning. Chills, the whole thing, amazing
