1988 Olympic Women's 4x100 - BEST RELAY FINISH EVER!!

One of the best relays of all time - Evelyn Ashford has the anchor of her life with an unbelievable finish!! EPIC USA vs. East Germany vs. Soviet Union Olympic Women's 4x100 Final, Seoul 1988.
USA legs: Alice Brown, Sheila Echols, Florence Griffith-Joyner, Evelyn Ashford.

USA barely made it into the final after confusion as to who would run in the semifinal, they had to scramble at the last minute to find 4 runners. Evelyn Ashford after the semi: “You people just don’t know how lucky we were to get that stick around today, I’m telling you.”

Evelyn Ashford saved the day with that legendary run down.shiit she walked it like she talked it.And still the best rundown of all-time in the women's races point-blank.

Everyone's talking about Evelyn, who I love, but don't forget about Alice's first leg.

I remember watching that. Evelyn Ashford doesn't get nearly the recognition she deserves.

At 45 years old I’ve seen a lot of great relays and individual races. Evelyn Ashford’s anchor leg in this relay is still my favorite track moment of all time.

Best anchor leg ever. The first 2 legs were fine but the FloJo to Evelyn hand off was a mess. Thats what added to the drama, what made Evelyn's anchor so insane as she overcomes the struggles with the messy handoff and still hawks down those two in front of her. You can watch this many times and it makes your heart race.

The way Evelyn ran her down almost brings me to tears every time I view this. Thanks for posting.
