One of the most courageous things you will ever see on a running track ! In my opinion

This video seems to be getting a little bit of stick because I have chosen to use the word courageous, which in my opinion this is. Having been a pretty good track athlete myself and having served in the British Army on many active tours of duty and having donated a kidney to my younger brother, I think I have a pretty good Idea what courage is. Why do people get so offended and abusive over the use of the word courage? courage has many different meanings and even more applications. You do not have to be in life or death situation to display courage. I have never seen a race at this level where a runner has comeback to win after being overtaken in the home straight, it is almost impossible to do, your body and brain are screaming at you to give it up, you've done your best, your not fit enough, but this is where the courage comes in, courage overules your brain, courage ignores the pain, courage finds more when there's no more to give! So in my opinion this is the most amazing display of courage on a TRACK!! i have ever seen, fortunately as you can see from the likes and dislikes that most people agree. To come on here and rant, rave, and swear at me over such an innocent video just makes those people look like the fools that they are !! Steve Jones is a British running legend and this is why !!!!

The black guy blew his wad catching up too soon. He should have tried to overtake the other dude a wee bit closer to the finish line.

Show an example of a world class race at this distance where it happened like this. A marathoner, best 800 time ever was just under 2:00 and after 9200 meters runs his last half this fast and beats the best 10K guys in the world, show someone kick for that far, break his stride and come back, even Prefontaine couldn't do it in Berlin. This was pure guts and courage to jump out like that and then find that last little bit, that is all heart. Maybe 7th grade milers.....
