Derek Redmond finishing the 400m in Barcelona 1992 Olympics.

submitted by Raytrace

1 decade 7 years 3 months 3 weeks ago

At the 1992 Summer Olympics in the 400m race, he posted the fastest time of the first round, and won his quarter-final. In the semi-final, Redmond started well, but 175m from the finish, his hamstring tore. Redmond immediately fell to the ground, in extreme pain. As stretcher bearers made their way over to him, he knew he had to finish the race. He began to hobble along the track, with pain etched upon his face. He was soon joined on the track by his father, Jim Redmond, who had supported Derek for his whole career. Shortly before the line, Jim let go of his son, and he completed the race, with a standing ovation from the crowd of 65,000. Unfortunately, since his father had helped him finished, Jim was disqualified from even listing as finishing.
