1992 DEREK REDMOND AND THE OLYMPIC SPIRIT (DAD HELPS HIM ACROSS THE FINISH LINE))

1992 DEREK REDMOND THE OLYMPIC SPIRIT. He is best remembered for his performance at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona where he tore his hamstring in the 400 metres semi-final but fought through the pain and, with assistance from his father, managed to complete a full lap of the track as the crowd gave him a standing ovation. The incident has become a well-remembered moment in Olympic history, having been the subject of one of the International Olympic Committee's 'Celebrate Humanity' videos and been used in advertisements by Visa as an illustration of the Olympic spirit and featured in Nike's "Courage" commercials in 2008.

@saveltoros shut up

[hardworking19gi]

@littletennisking thank you and i agree

[hardworking19gi]

to the 23 people who disliked this video i am pretty sure you are not watching the same video as me this guy iis a wonderful role model he never gave up and this is how we all should be and i am pretty sure none of you would have the guts to do that. and if a bike ride gets to hard you probably go run to mommies lap. he finished that marathon with a hurt hamstring this also goes to the guys with the negative comments.

[saveltoros]

@DLarson1083 Yeah, I fucking knifed one of those muslim dogs before, too bad he didn't die.

[DLarson1083]

@saveltoros I know, just as long as he's not a muslim it's all good. They are the real scum.
