Michael Johnson 400m 1996 Olympics
Michael Johnson’s 400m final at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. The first half of his historic double.
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.

@Ammovir Then why is it absurd to say white people are smarter?
@Graham6762 why is it?
black people are born with a larger proportion of fast twitch fibres than most other ethnics; inclusing, asians, orients and whites. Justify your claim.
It’s racist to say white people aren’t equal to black people in track.
these people make everyone look like wendy williams

@archernator47 wow really bro…
the gringos people always wanna be heroes, if you want to see real courage you had to see „john Stephen atwani in mexico 68 olimpics“
YOU DON’T HAVE TO COME IN FIRST PLACE TO BE A CHAMPION – MY RESPECT TO YOU AND YOUR DAD DEREK.
@qgshadow you’re not funny asshole. this man carries the true olympic spirit, u carry nothing.
for the men that didn/t grow up with a father this is what a man is not bragging bout how many women you sleep with or who rims the biggest or who the cleanest we have to get back to being this can of man God set the stanard of what a man is anything else is not being a man and weither we live that way or not God is going to judge us by his standard
The man has a great father but it’s still a sad story. To be in the olympics, with the best of the best. Look like you might win, then suddenly you a muscle and it’s over like that. It’s not fair, but he didn’t give up, he kept trying to run but his dad came and gave him reality of the solution and the rest is one of the saddest moment in sports history. God Bless.
THIS IS SO TOUCHING
He is the real winner for me!
great father!

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
