The Italian 4x100m relay quartet of Olympic 100m champion Marcell Jacobs, Lorenzo Patta, Eseosa Desalu and Filippo Tortu raced to victory in the final at Tokyo 2020. The Italians featuring 100m champion Marcell Jacobs won their country's first medal in the event at the Olympics since London 1948. Lead-off runner Patta handed the baton to Jacobs, who produced a storming run down the back end, with Tortu on the anchor leg crossed the line in a new Italian record of 37.50 seconds. Great Britain, pipped at the line by 0.01s, claimed the silver medal, with Canada bagging bronze, clocking 37.70.

I'm 61. when I was young I practiced athletics and ran 80 and 100 meters. I didn't think I could ever see the Italian sprinters win Olympic gold. Thanks guys for this great joy, I would like to hug you all
-
The number of times I've watched that Italian last leg is abnormal ๐คฏ I get goosebumps every time. TORTU what....
-
I am not an Italian but I cried watching this. Haha. Congrats Italia
-
I can't count how many time do i watch this... Filippo Tortu made me even cry from S. Korea...
-
I still watched and admired this remarkable win of The Azzuri Team from time to time. Tortu was the breathtaking sprinter. Congratulations to Italia.
-
12:37 the dude from Italy running that turn was incredible.

The most beautiful medal of these Olympic Games. A fantastic performance accomplished with heart and soul.
-
This is probably my all-time favorite 4x100 final. Absolutely electrifying. Tortu turned into Secretariat. He was running like a tremendous machine. And that might be the best finish-line lean I've ever seen.
-
As an Italian, this is my weekly rewatch of this beauty
-
The Italian last leg did it for me๐๐๐ incredible performance ๐๐
-
Thank you so much to the commentators having said that the Italian anthem is one of the best in the world. Their commentary is absolutely impartial, but at the same time extremely passionate for the epic victory. Really appreciated all their words from first to last one, thank you indeed
-
I cry every time I watch this. Filippo Tortu was beyond amazing. So proud to be Italian.
-
-
I don't know why, but i cried out. I'm enormously glad for the Italians. Great job!
-
you can clearly see Tortu putting everything his body and his mind could provide in those final 100 metres
-
Tortu was already quite famous in Italy way before the Tokyo Olympics and we expected him to be in the 100m final and maybe have a shot at the medals, because he broke the 10s barrier and the national record at a very young age. No one in Italy knew who Marcell Jacobs was before this final or even after this final until we saw him winning. That probably helped him, because all the pressure was on Tortu. So it might be a surprise for the rest of the world but it's not a surprise for Italians that Tortu could run like that.

Compliments for the commentary. Very balanced... the very opposite of English Eurosport who didn't considered italy till the last 50 cm...
