Finish the Race ~ personal story of courage

http://speedmanifesting.com Lori Mitchell, author of SPEED Manifesting(TM) : "It was almost 7pm in Mexico City, 1968. One hour earlier the winners of the 26 mile Olympic marathon had crossed the finish line. It had been a grueling hot day as the high altitude affected all the athletes. The sky was beginning to darken and most of the stadium was empty. As the last few spectators were preparing to leave, police sirens and flashing lights caught their attention. A lone runner, wearing the colours of Tanzania had just emerged through the stadium gate. Limping, with his leg bandaged he found the last of his endurance to step up his pace and finish the race. His name was John Stephen Akhwari."

my all-time favorite olympic video. all hail john stephen akhwari and bud greenspan the olympic documentary filmmaker who brought us this inspirational story.

Thank you so much for giving the source of the filmmaker credit. I did not know who it was, and I am glad you could provide that. Wonderful perspective from Bud Greenspan.

Am amazing performance. The true spirit of the games, and his comment about being sent to the games to finish the race, not just to start it, shows what true sportsmanship is all about. In this era of pampered so called sports stars whining and demanding more,  one man symbolizes what sports should be about. He may not have won a medal, but he is greatest olympian, period..

Sometimes the real Olympic story is not about the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat, but about the struggle in between.
