World championship 4x400 relay


I enjoy watching world-class championships in all sports.  One difference that has occurred in my lifetime is the utilization of mobile tracking cameras that allow viewing the athletes close-up to show, in this case, the remarkable running machine that is the human body.

  1. Florence Griffith-Joiner (FloJo) was the most amazing runner to me. I loved watching her run so very, very fast.

    1. In international competition, a relay baton cannot weigh less than 50 grams. Hence, most batons weigh 50 grams (1.76 oz)

    1. If I were you, I'd go to YouTube and search "Femke Bol" "4x400". There are lots of uploads.
