🏃‍♂️ Men's 4x100m Final | Tokyo Replays

The Italian 4x100m relay quartet of Olympic 100m champion Marcell Jacobs, Lorenzo Patta, Eseosa Desalu and Filippo Tortu raced to victory in the final at Tokyo 2020. The Italians featuring 100m champion Marcell Jacobs won their country's first medal in the event at the Olympics since London 1948. Lead-off runner Patta handed the baton to Jacobs, who produced a storming run down the back end, with Tortu on the anchor leg crossed the line in a new Italian record of 37.50 seconds. Great Britain, pipped at the line by 0.01s, claimed the silver medal, with Canada bagging bronze, clocking 37.70.

I'm 61. when I was young I practiced athletics and ran 80 and 100 meters. I didn't think I could ever see the Italian sprinters win Olympic gold. Thanks guys for this great joy, I would like to hug you all

Watching that Italian guy run the last leg was like watching an eagle fly. Really stunning victory and well deserved

[leocremonezi]

The last Italian guy ran for his life! Amazing victory, greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷🤝🏻🇮🇹

[pkpp]

I am not an Italian but I cried watching this. Haha. Congrats Italia

[pnsehqy]

I can't count how many time do i watch this... Filippo Tortu made me even cry from S. Korea...

[countyourmiracles.]

The number of times I've watched that Italian last leg is abnormal 🤯
I get goosebumps every time. TORTU what....

[BURZUMskyline]

you can clearly see Tortu putting everything his body and his mind could provide in those final 100 metres

[deepelements]

12:37 the dude from Italy running that turn was incredible.

I still watched and admired this remarkable win of The Azzuri Team from time to time. Tortu was the breathtaking sprinter. Congratulations to Italia.

The most beautiful medal of these Olympic Games. A fantastic performance accomplished with heart and soul.

Crying for the Italian team now. Well well done!!!!

[sanebooks]

I cry every time I watch this. Filippo Tortu was beyond amazing. So proud to be Italian.

[dantheman]

This is probably my all-time favorite 4x100 final. Absolutely electrifying. Tortu turned into Secretariat. He was running like a tremendous machine. And that might be the best finish-line lean I've ever seen.

[davidesanti]

Thank you so much to the commentators having said that the Italian anthem is one of the best in the world. Their commentary is absolutely impartial, but at the same time extremely passionate for the epic victory. Really appreciated all their words from first to last one, thank you indeed

[lucamollo]

As an Italian, this is my weekly rewatch of this beauty

[sapety]

The Italian last leg did it for me😁😁😁 incredible performance 🙌🙌

[daledileep]

I'm British but only because Italy won that does not mean I hate them . They worked hard and they got to there goal. Congrats 👏 🇮🇹 Italy 🇮🇹 👏

[kirkdillabaugh]

The faces say it all. Look at how relaxed Tortu is over the final 30m vs. Mitchell-Blake (9:43-9:53). Tightness vs. relaxation. Relaxation wins every time.

[sandyatmaja]

The last runner of Italian team deserves to compete in 100 m, he is a fantastic sprinter.

[rdnqeyt]

I don't know why, but i cried out. I'm enormously glad for the Italians. Great job!
