Is there no copy of this footage on youtube without bloody music all over it? I just want the whole race in it's entirety, and with the BBC commentary. Please?

Remember this like yesterday. Well, actually I remember the original footage and commentary, but every version on you tube has no commentary and instead an 'inspirational' soundtrack. Pity. The original commentary is far more moving, but I guess people like to add their own musical spin to it.
Very, very bittersweet moment.

Tearful after watching this...your certainly my role model :)



I was 12 during this time. I cried and cried when I saw this. This in my opinion is one of the Greatest moment in all of sports.

Actually Derek Redmond was DQ'd.
But whether he has a time or a DQ doesn't change anything. A show boater doesn't cry on his fathers shoulder in front of Billions of people. He didn't do it because he knew he'd get attention or anything like that. He did it solely because he cares so much about what he was doing.
When you love something enough, it doesn't matter at all what others think, it's about what you want and what you believe in.
