Womens Olympic 100 meter final 1980

1:20 minutes into this clip:

Olympic 100 meter final women - 1980

The girl is Linda Haglund, who got fourth in the race (lane 1).

See the catastrophic race by Marlies Göhr in lane 8, blocks ripped and she leaned too soon before the finish lane. The only win missing in her collection, crazy how 0.01 sec can change a life and recognition. Kondratyeva injured herslef in the last meters, that’s why in the other films of the race we can see her crying.
Any guess what Haglund is talking about?

The clip is review of the best female Swedish sprinter ever. It’s a production by national Swedish TV and takes the viewers through her career from huge talent to her final demise.

She talks about media pressure, lack of coaches in Sweden and her interaction with other athletes.

Wow you can really see what CF was talking about on the Speed and Strength DVD, with regard to Marlies Göhr’s start! She bends her arms so much she is almost falling over!

Great clip, what language is it in? Can anyone rip this stream?

Cheers,

TC

it’s Swedish.

Had the same problem, but not with faster connection…
Just curious, any PBs of her?
Thanks!

Haglunds pb’s are 7.13, 11.16 and 22.82

Swedish records all of them.

Did any of you have problems with the stream freezing up? I can’t view the thing!
