Despite lying on the track for several minutes before receiving medical attention, Okoro returned to the track later to anchor the relay team alongside Donna Fraser, Kim Wall and Vicky Barr to an impressive silver.
The time it took Bob Hayes, who died this fall at the too-young age of 59, to cover 100 meters during his anchor leg of the 400-meter relay in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
So, you end up with your pool made of maybe three-quarters of the guys who have experience running the anchor leg and they don't have much experience running other legs on the relay.
