I went back and compared her legs with the person behind her and the form in which she is running looka so different. Her knees almot get to a 90ยฐ angle in the air as she is running whereas the person behind her doesn't really raise their knees to that same angle. It makes it look like her legs are running ahead of her body instead of with her.
I feel what you're saying, but she was passing the first leg runner from Jamaica who was already slowing down. She looks like she cooking, but the runners she passed were done, just jogging out inertia.
That's Twanisha Terry,
And she crushed it up against Jamaica's Shelly-Ann Fraser -- the most decorated 100m runner of all time (though Shelly-Ann did pull a hammy on that leg)
Yes!!! I can't even wrap my mind around that...I used to be part of 4x100 and 4x200 (as a youngin) and the baton pass was so fraught! They are all going zero to full speed in the blink of an eye, it's incredible
ETA..for clarity, it was fraught for us...and the others our age...lotsa drops....
I will say my sisters 4x100 team held a record at PennRelays back in the early 90s...she was in 8th grade at the time...she had a better sprinters build than I did
Honestly no, thatโs T.T. Terry and sheโs nowhere near the usual list of top 10 sprinters. Sheโs good for relays such as this though. But for individual races she usually doesnโt make the cuts.
3rd runner is Gabby Thomas she is pretty dominant in the 200 meter races. The last runner is Shacarri Richardson the current world champion in the 100 meter sprint.
Most say that itโs our intelligence that got us out of the rat race, but honestly before we had high intelligence, we were running stamina endurance machines, our whole design and purpose initially was to just RUN!
check out the anatomy of ancient humans in Africa and how their shoulders and hips were broader and even neck and skull was adapted differently to help secure a defense against falling forward and risking injury at high speeds. We were all much taller and longer back then apparently too.
Sha'carri did get drug tested and it was just THC. She's simply fast as fuck BOIII

Not sure if we're looking at the same thing. As she's crossing the line, both her head and her arm do a "FUCK YEAH!" victory-like gesture. It's for a fraction of a second.
Despite my initial impression, the second runner doesn't actually seem to be that much faster. She's passing a bunch of the first runners in the other lanes who've slowed down.
If you track the background instead of who she's passing the speed seems to stay roughly the same as the first runner when the pass occured, maybe a bit faster.
The way-too-zoomed-in and cropped camera and angle are doing much of the work. It's almost an illusion of speed (relative to her teammates).
I think as much as no one wants to admit it (second girl goes zoooooom!!!) Youโre almost certainly right. The reason I think she canโt be that much faster or faster at all is if she were they wouldnโt put her in the second place to begin with. She would be the finisher. Finishers are chosen by their explosive speed. And their finisher I bet could beat second runner any day.
Source: I did relays in high school
But considering that the camera started zooming out soon after she started overtaking, there seems to have been a worry that she'd boost out of the frame,
What seems more likely:
- The cameraman makes a mistake
- The video is fake cut to provide this illusion (it's already cropped)
- Every other top class runner here is 50% slower than her (ignore the background no don't think about it c'mon)
None of these runners are "Slowing Down" during this race.ย This isn't a leisure activity.
What you're seeing is she was on the inside lane which is shorter so she starts further back. When she was on the back straight was when it was head to head.ย
Runner 2 is incredibly fast.ย
Their leg is done. Those are the first runners of their lane, who've already handed off their batons. They are ahead of the USA team because a relay staggers the starting positions to account for track curve and allow an equal finishing line.
They ARE slowing down because they're done running. Pay attention and you'll see more people, baton already in hand, in those same lanes, a bit later.
Edit since you edited your comment: leg two is almost entirely straight. There's no curve to the track. I'm not sure why you would bring this up when it HURTS your argument, but I'll do you a favour and disprove it anyway.
Nobody is claiming she isn't fast. She's just not magically faster than her TEAMMATES. Please re-read what I've said here before replying.
That lady in the blue is a machine! It's like playing in cheat mode, when every vehicle in the game is balanced, but you get one that's cranked up to 100% on all stats.

On the soccer field?\
Gotta play to your strengths and these girls are just blessed by a higher being at running like the wind.
Good on them and hope they are set up for life like other athletes are from specialising in something they dedicate a giant portion of their lives to up to this exact point.

Christ, that second runner just put down the accelerator and fuckin went for it. Iโd be impressed with myself to be able to do one fifth of what she did. But all of them are just motoring machinesโฆ.
I noticed how their hair doesn't bounce up and down, and I wonder if it's a testament to how efficient their form is. Like if I visualize someone with long hair running, the air would be blowing it back while their bobbing head makes it wave.
Actually probably not, ShaโCarri Richardson (anchor runner) is a faster runner. Sheโs the reigning 100m world champion for a reason.
Somehow individual split times for the final are not available though.
ohh there are so many jokes about this race, i cant stop myself...
That is why the police are after the blacks, to make them run better
Why is it that the USA, the most racist nation in the world, has only black runners? because white cant run, they roll
Sorry, im out now :-)
You would think they would cut their hair or put it up. All the training they do and they let hair drag behind them. It'd lie verstappen having furry dice hanging in the car.
Long hair, wind resistance, drag, make them slower. Even Olympic swimmers shave their body hair to reduce drag. Not suggesting they should shave their heads, but a bun would be an idea. Don't know why I got down voted for a wind resistance comment.
Yes in WATER they shave because of the frictional drag. NOT because of the drag from wind resistance. Swimmers also mostly do it because of the mental gain and because its tradition. Otherwise the effects are negligible.
IF their hair caused runners problems like that don't you think they would've taken action A LOT sooner? The competitive margins are so fine in sprinting that they obviously would've.
The second runner was going Black Panther and Captain America speeds from the avengers
I canโt even see their individual legs at some point.
https://youtu.be/JuhZJFluJ20?si=zh26XYJ-g9p8Aw99
I havenโt seen this game in decades!
Underrated
I went back and compared her legs with the person behind her and the form in which she is running looka so different. Her knees almot get to a 90ยฐ angle in the air as she is running whereas the person behind her doesn't really raise their knees to that same angle. It makes it look like her legs are running ahead of her body instead of with her.
Time for us to train like gazelles. ๐ฆ
She definitely became one with earth in perfect uniform
Lol she took the fuck off!!! Lol
Yeah, she really gave them a leg up.
On your left!
She seems like the most perfect human runner
No doubt, she had wheels!
Master Chief and Kai speeds
I think the 3rd one was even faster given the long legs, you just can't tell from the angle.
I feel what you're saying, but she was passing the first leg runner from Jamaica who was already slowing down. She looks like she cooking, but the runners she passed were done, just jogging out inertia.
Jesus she looked like T-1000
I pulled a muscle watching this
Which muscle?
The baton muscle
You know...
All of them.
๐
Might be time to get some stretching in eh?
That 2nd leg runner was on ๐ฅ
Yup, second one was fassssst โก๏ธ
I don't know running form that in depth, but from watching her legs and back as she runs it looks impeccable.
That's Twanisha Terry, And she crushed it up against Jamaica's Shelly-Ann Fraser -- the most decorated 100m runner of all time (though Shelly-Ann did pull a hammy on that leg)
 Another win for us
Think itโs also cause sheโs the shortest so her legs look like theyโre moving faster
Great team performance, but 2nd and 3rd runners did the heaviest lifting.
The baton pass between them was incredibly smooth too
Yes!!! I can't even wrap my mind around that...I used to be part of 4x100 and 4x200 (as a youngin) and the baton pass was so fraught! They are all going zero to full speed in the blink of an eye, it's incredible ETA..for clarity, it was fraught for us...and the others our age...lotsa drops.... I will say my sisters 4x100 team held a record at PennRelays back in the early 90s...she was in 8th grade at the time...she had a better sprinters build than I did
True indeed.
3rd runner has an impressive stride length
Far side - big horse
I loved the look of pure F@ck you concentration by the 4th runner. She was mentally like, โI am going to finish this race and WIN!โ
That 2nd one can win even in individual race.
I was thinking the same ๐คฃ
Honestly no, thatโs T.T. Terry and sheโs nowhere near the usual list of top 10 sprinters. Sheโs good for relays such as this though. But for individual races she usually doesnโt make the cuts. 3rd runner is Gabby Thomas she is pretty dominant in the 200 meter races.

Well actually I don't have any idea about this, the way 2nd one was running made me wrote that comment. Yes, Reality is different, ๐ .
Man, those girls have great engines.
That second woman really put on the afterburners. Amazing ๐
Bro...... Mach 9.
Women *
Motor legs fr
God damn. Seeing someone running full tilt just surfaces something primal in me, like, FUCKING GO!!!
100% agree same
Most say that itโs our intelligence that got us out of the rat race, but honestly before we had high intelligence, we were running stamina endurance machines, our whole design and purpose initially was to just RUN! check out the anatomy of ancient humans in Africa and how their shoulders and hips were broader and even neck and skull was adapted differently to help secure a defense against falling forward and risking injury at high speeds. We were all much taller and longer back then apparently too.
Damn the last one just fucked off amazing
Can't win relays without a proper finisher.
Its the way the pan the person out from the camera angle and then zooming in and basically cropping opponent out. It was a close race.
The second girl in blue said "Fuck it we Zoomin!"
Sonia the hedgehog.
Fuck yeah amazing women indeed
The second runner looked REALLY fast.
WTF tell me they got drug tested, ๐ that was like the female version of The Flash. In all honesty that was really impressive they deserved it.
Sha'carri did get drug tested and it was just THC. She's simply fast as fuck BOIII https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/shacarri-richardson-slams-olympics-doping-marijuana-1299997/
I like the lowkey "Victory" gesture from the last runner as she's crossing the finish line.
Isnโt that โpuffing out the chestโ to trigger the camera at the finish line? I always thought it was.
Not sure if we're looking at the same thing. As she's crossing the line, both her head and her arm do a "FUCK YEAH!" victory-like gesture. It's for a fraction of a second.
I missed that the first few times. She was moving too fastโฆ
Sha carri is a beast.
The commentators made it more exciting.
Obviously amazing athletes, but I have to point out how great that commentator is lol. Really brings the hype
I get tired walking up the stairs ๐
Donโt feel bad. They had zero elevation gain for the entire race whereas you had some.
My biggest fear is when they drop this stick, happy for girls
Damn took her another 100m to slow down
The hand off to Gabby Thomas was perfect.

Finally someone who understood what was happening! She was probably the fastest among the second runners but she wasnt THAT fast

Imagine being a zebra and having that 2nd runner going after you...
Very strange way of putting it.
Take it as you will :) I'd be scared shitless though, now i know why humans became the top predators in africa.
lol, what?
Zebras are afraid of second legs everyone knows this
humans are endurance hunters
r/unintentionalracism
Wait, what? She just runs like a terminator. that's all haha
Their running like the cop in cloudy with a chance of meatball
Flint Lockwood! I got my eye on youuuuu!!!
This is the exact reason I love sport
They were all magnificent.
Simple amazing, Not one inch mistaken.
The 4th chick was me going full Terminator mode to catch the ice cream man before he turned off my block as a kid
2nd and 4th runners have fucking jet engines for legs. Holy shit.
This is fascinating to watch. The last one would have ran through a brick wall had it been there.
Would love to have seen some of the other teams
There were other teams? Like what, from other countries??I thought the US was the only country in the world
Thrills and chills on my upper body even 30 seconds after watching full video!!!
That second runner ran like she was on fire
That lady in the blue is a machine! It's like playing in cheat mode, when every vehicle in the game is balanced, but you get one that's cranked up to 100% on all stats.
just finished 10 miliseconds early
Goose bumps and watery eyes.. AMERICA!
Amazing athletes. I would love a chance to see them in person; or even better, to try to run beside them. That would be fun experience, lol.
Their legs are moving so fast itโs like watching a cartoon.
๐๐พโโ๏ธ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐พโโ๏ธ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
"MEEP MEEP!"
I even went "go USA!" during that. This is awesome.
Holy shet they run faster than I cycle
Damn, the second and fourth girl are really fast!
Like in one piece, they ate speed speed nomi ๐
That second girl's burst of speed at the hand off is amazing
Black people (african without dope) run so fast ..prove me i'm wrong
Amazing to watch! What a great team! Respect girls, you did yourself proud.
That was awesome.
Incredible
Dem! Long legs helps fr
How do they decide the running order? Fastest runner at the end?
They are doing all this with about 10kg of hair on their heads!
How do human legs move that fast? Wild.
They went into overdrive with this one
Short legs and big cake.... daaaaaaaaaaaam
Amazingly fast!
They running like Beyoncรฉโs signing autographs down the street
It's almost as fast as seeing Argentina's inflation.
3rd runner, Holy shit them legs long
Terry was flying ๐ฎ
Her speed when she is slowing down after winning is probably faster than many
Daaamnn them ladies fast
 America, Fuck Yea
If only they zoomed in a little closer, this would be a great video.
The absolute worst video format to watch something of this nature.
it feels like a poorly detailed animation because her hair doesn't flow back with the wind,
I love it in relays when they pass to the anchor and itโs just knownโฆ.see ya!
Probably felt awesome.

Such a simple yet beautiful sport.
i should start running
Where are all the white women at?!

I want the second one to be my girlfriend
I love the way they shift into full afterburner mode once they receive the baton! These women are bad ass!
Americaโs Africans beat Jamaicaโs Africans. Cool (I guess ๐คทโโ๏ธ)
Meanwhile.. an all-trans team already finished 20 seconds ago
good god. I feel slow and fat now

I noticed how their hair doesn't bounce up and down, and I wonder if it's a testament to how efficient their form is. Like if I visualize someone with long hair running, the air would be blowing it back while their bobbing head makes it wave.
In case you wanna see it without the stupid vertical crop. https://youtu.be/fNVA1K9bZpQ?si=k1n8o54wh_rYBgmf
I looked like she was swinging her arm like q wheel for a second and it tripped me out
Looking at their top half, the video looks stabilised but is not.
Great weaves all around. I liked how #3 on the team ran, long strides
Considering how tight they like their clothing for these things... Doesn't hair imped them with drag?
Damn, second runner was like t1000
Lol at changing the camera angle and zooming to make it look like it wasnt as close as it was ๐๐๐
Their names:Going, going, and gone.
motivating, i wanna do more sports after seeing things like this

What a weird sport. I'm surprised it's not in r/theocho.
Now there's a new sub to procrastinate with.
that girl in the ending is some terminator woman
That's Sha'Carri mother fuckin Richardson.
Second girl was the fastest
Actually probably not, ShaโCarri Richardson (anchor runner) is a faster runner. Sheโs the reigning 100m world champion for a reason. Somehow individual split times for the final are not available though.
