[schitaco]

WUS THIS SHOT WIT A POTATO LOL

[Jaystew17]

Rock Chalk Jayhawk, Bill Mills!

[JMC296]

One of the best calls in sports history.

"LOOK AT MILLS! LOOK AT MILLS!"

Classic.

[MalkinFan25]

I am just in awe of this video! You can truly tell the secondary announcer stammered in absolute disbelief as he couldn't seem to think of what to say....

...and yet, couldn't have said it any better! "Look at Mills! Look at Mills!!!!"

[4IcyHot]

thats right baby! Native Pride! God Dame that was Awesome!

[halomaniac3339]

Thats my great uncle

[halomaniac3339]

Im related to that guy mills haha

[usmctanks1]

That was 1st LT Billy Mills, USMC

[skokangel]

i just watched this movie its kind of sad but its my fav now

[LAZYRMAN]

I saw it just after it came out. I haven't seen it since. Its a great true story.

[GetUpAndTryAgain]

last lap 58 sec.

[meester6178]

o mannnn i wish the quality was better... btw does anyone know what year this was?

[oleytrackstar]

i'm pretty sure this was the 1964 olympics in japan

[oneputtsteven]

1964 Tokyo Olympics. "Mills is coming on!, Mills is coming on!"" one of the great calls in sports history. The greatest upset in track and field history.  A tremendous accomplishment indeed!

[helltopo]

How times have changed - for the better in this case. It was ridiculous how Mills, Clarke & Gammoudi had to run around the lapped athletes1

[calvinjanis]

Oglala Lakota!!!!!!! Pine Ridge Baby!!!!!

[sasukex4eva]

every time i see this vid it brings a smile to my face

he is such an insperation

[Visw]

Wow. I'm awestruck each time I see this video. One of the most tremendous kicks I've ever seen; he makes the other finishing runners look like they're stuck in mud.

[snowballman3]

Clarke and that other guy were pushing him for the past few laps i believe (but they didnt get disqualified?)

[aeriexchic]

omg!

look at mills look at mills! and the laughings craps me up!

[pandaboo17]

I love this so much...

LOOK AT MILLS! LOOK AT MILLS!

hahahahahahha cracks me up...

but seriously, that's some crazy crazy kick at the end. just like BAM in the last 75 meters he comes flying out of nowhere

[oosh79]

OH AND BILLY MILLS IS MY COUSIN..

[Willaglueck]

This gives me the chills every time I see it. That final kick is a sight to behold.

[kansasthunder57]

I've watched this many time and love it more each time. One of the greatest human stories of our time. God bless you Billy Mills. I remember hearing it in a delayed program on the radio. I din't know how won and it was like I ran the race with him.  Yes, he does help kids --- non-profit.

[adamcrush]

Billy Mills is alive and well. He heads a non-profit to help kids.

[DeputyDawg999]

What a kick! He was clearly interfered with by the jerk who took second on that last lap. The idiot deserved to lose.

[onlybliss]

I have seen this over 10 times and every time I cry. Mills was saying to himself the whole time: i can win. I can win. I can STILL win. He used positive imagery and imagined a native american (Indian -- as he would say) winning the race. Wow! Love this. Just emailed it to all my friends.

[Gunbei2]

I agree, watching that devastating kick has the same effect on me every time. What a great race for Billy, and boy did those commentators get caught up in it. I can win!

[08fuellings]

Goosebumps everytime

[mmaben]

Me too. The emotion that took over from the commentators is something you just don't hear anymore. I don't think that any other American won a medal in the 10K meters before Mills, and none has won a medal in the 10K meters since Mills.

[Jett211182]

One of the greatest moments in running history.

[MikeDunn]

I'm crying.

[funkymario]

this guy should run the 100m not the 10 000, he was sprinting like a 100m record holder

[alloranje]

and his college coach said he had no kick (true story), bet hes kicking himself now

[sometimesidothings]

bet he's in his grave now

[akormes]

Running Brave was a great movie about Billy mills and his life story. My dad got to meet him once in Needles California Mohave GYM can't remember the year he meet him Igotta ask him when I get a chance.

[xpanganiban]

Running brave, indeed.

[rebezra]

sensational-- running on faith

[cheeseboy25]

No, they are legs.

[swscorch]

gave me goosebumps.. simply amazing

[Mozinator]

amazing kick

[pro7o7ype]

That kick is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen

[asadraza5367]

watch the movie about his life: "Running Brave"

it's wonderful

[GenerationMark]

That was pretty cool.

[andeath]
