The 4x400 metres final at the Mexico'68 Olympics was pretty much a foregone conclusion as the USA team included all three medalists from the 400m.(Lee Evans,Larry James and Ron Freeman)plus the next 400m Olympic champion from 1972!(Vincent Matthews).Their WR of 2.56.16 knocked over three and a half seconds off of the previous time and stood as a WR for twenty years.For geeks only:the Kenyan team who came home in second included Daniel Rudisha,dad of the future Olympic 800m champion David !
