00:00Carmelo Rado had previously thrown 51.10m.
00:07Here we see the athletes who will soon compete in the second heat of the 4% relay.
00:17Poland, Australia, the United States of America, the Soviet Union and Panama start in order of lane.
00:24Poland fields Vizorek in the first set, Javicemska in the second, Jezionowska in the third and Richter in the
00:32fourth.
00:32Australia Matthews Villar, Tower, Fleming and Duggan.
00:37The United States of America: Hudson, Williams, Joner and the famous Rudolf.
00:42Soviet Union Krebkina, Maslovskaya, Itkina and Irina Press.
00:47Panama, the Unte, the Gooden, the Dunn and the Olms.
00:52We are at the starting point.
00:55Some competitors have taken the test.
00:58By the way, you may have already heard that the time of Great Britain, who won the first heat, was 45.8.
01:05Not an exceptional time, but you will have noticed that the competitors arrived on the verge of reaching the finish line.
01:11They didn't push too hard, as they only needed to finish in the top three.
01:15Now you see the Polish representative, Witzorek, staring at the starting blocks.
01:24Witzorek runs in the first fraction and will have to pass the baton to Javitsemska.
01:31In the second lane, Australia runs with Matthews Villar, who was one of the protagonists in Melbourne,
01:39but in these games in Rome he has not remained faithful to his previous coaching credentials.
01:45She looked a little dull.
01:47Evidently the four years spent in Melbourne have had an impact on his performance.
01:51Now you see the American representative, Hudson, while we said that the famous Wilma Rudolf,
01:58the greatest sprinter of all time, will run in the final stage.
02:03Rudolf ran the 100 meters in 11 seconds, as you may remember, but the world record,
02:08the new world record cannot be approved due to the wind.
02:12Now in this last stage, Rudolf should repeat herself with exceptional times,
02:18but as you know, the time cannot be valid for the purposes of an official record,
02:23because it is obtained in the fourth fraction, therefore with a rolling start.
02:29The Soviet Union fields a very compact formation,
02:32with Krebkina, Maslovskaia, Ikkina and Irina Press,
02:35who you may remember won the gold medal in the 80m hurdles.
02:38Now you see with number 3, the American representative,
02:43everything is almost ready, now for departure.
02:47In the fifth lane, the Panama team,
02:50Honte, Gooden, Don and Olmes, which comes as a bit of a surprise,
02:56and it is not known what the performance of this formation will be.
03:02The top three will be directly admitted to the final,
03:06and then they will join Great Britain, Germany, Italy,
03:10which arrived in order, in the first battery.
03:16The formation of the Soviet Union appears very compact
03:19for the presence of four sprinters of undoubted value.
03:22Now you see with the number 7,
03:27you see the representative of the Soviet Union,
03:31and it is exactly Krebkina.
03:35Krebkina runs in the first fraction,
03:38in second place is Maslowskaia,
03:40then Itkina and Irina Press.
03:45So there are five representative teams,
03:47Poland, Australia, United States, Soviet Union and Panama.
03:55Valid departure,
03:58Krebkina took the plunge,
04:00which seems to us to have a slight edge
04:02compared to other competitors.
04:04In fact, we will now see the change take place,
04:06yes, with a slight margin of advantage,
04:09even if only by a small margin he prevailed
04:11the representative of the Soviet Union,
04:12but now it is being installed
04:14from other competitors,
04:15from the American Williams.
04:18The change occurs almost simultaneously,
04:20but the Americans are already clearly in first place.
04:25In fact now the baton is passed
04:27to Vilma Rudolf,
04:28with a slight margin of advantage
04:30towards the Soviet Union,
04:31Vilma Rudolf leaves,
04:32in vain the pursuer Press,
04:34you will notice the difference in class,
04:35and Rudolf wins by a landslide
04:37with a margin of 7-8 meters of advantage
04:40towards the Soviet Union
04:42and Poland.
04:44So Vilma Rudolf brought success
04:46the United States team,
04:49Second Soviet Union
04:50and third is Poland.
04:53This is the order of arrival,
04:54let's repeat,
04:55first United States of America,
04:57Second Soviet Union
04:58and third Poland.
04:59To tell the truth,
05:00already at the change of the last fraction,
05:02Vilma Rudolf had left
05:04with a slight advantage,
05:05because Joner had succeeded
05:07to prevail
05:08towards Itkina.
05:10The margin of advantage
05:11it was then increased significantly,
05:13you will have seen how easily
05:15Rudolf prevailed
05:17towards the opponent
05:18who literally dominated.
05:20So let's see the final order
05:21of the battery,
05:23of the final of the 4% women.
05:25Great Britain,
05:27Germany and Italy,
05:29the United States,
05:30the Soviet Union
05:31and Poland.
05:33So, surprisingly,
05:34also the United States of America
05:36in this test
05:36he comes to the fore
05:38as the favorite team.
05:40Maybe it's the first time
05:41in history
05:42of female athletics
05:44that the American team
05:46he manages to carry
05:46such a compact formation
05:48and so valid.
05:49The time has not yet been communicated,
05:51but it shouldn't be exceptional,
05:53as far as Rudolf's proof goes
05:56was truly excellent.
