Every now and then you see a video on KZbin which makes you feel that despite the cavalcade of trash that YT brings into the world maybe it's good that it exists after all because of rare & precious gems like this.

Every time I want to get inspired and get out and run I watch Daves Olympic run.....He's got one Kenyon!!... Grew up in your neck of the woods. CENTRAL CATH CANTON 1967. SEEN THAT RUN atleast 1000 times. Your still lookin good. Bless you and stay safe.

Thank you Dave.

I'm here a year after the posting, but nice to see Dave is still around and looking good. Short comment on 1972 Olympics - I was always intrigued by the look of indifference Dave displayed just after crossing the finish line; I'm imagining him thinking "OK, race over, time for a beer". No dramatic hootin' and hollerin' for the TV audience's amusement. Best wishes to all back there in Ohio.

Beautiful ❤

Saw him run at Crystal Palace , did his usual thing , way off the pace , came through and won easily .... legend

Just Watched some of your Races Dave !! you had a Kick at the end of your race's🙏So very thoughtful of you to put this message out there 👍

Dave Wottle run and victory in Olympics is still one of the greatest inspiration sports.

Go. Gold. for childhood cancer 🙏 - beautiful and heartfelt thoughts.

Almost 51 years ago and we’re still talking about our hero DAVE WOTTLE!

I am 67 now - Wottle’s 72 race was AMAZING - an incredible inspiration.

a national treasure

LEGEND!!! Where is your white cap, Sir?

I watch that race over and over and over and still get chills.....I was in the hospital at age 18 - the day after surgery (from a pole vault injury ) and the day after my birthday when the race was run...... Magical

"and here comes wottles throttle " said a commentator epic what a man 💪💪💪🇬🇧

What a legend. Does he still lives in Canton?

the term 'Wottle' means Racer- do the best you can on the day , all the best

So delightful to see Mr. Wottle and my condolences to his daughter and family. Thank you, Terri, for sharing this touching interview with us, lifetime admirers of Mr. Wottle!

Foi incrível esse Dave

Dave has been an inspiration to me since his 1972 800 meter Olympic come from behind victory. I'm 74 and I still watch that race from time to time when I'm dealing with difficulties. He is a genuinely humble person as well.

Beautiful!

Dave we admire you. Love you,respect you for your fantastic, amazing,and awe inspiring achievement, from last to first, unbelievable unmatched in entire Olympic history ,you will always be remembered with love from Kerala, India

A truly noble man.

I’ll never forget watching this race. Inspiring. What a man!

Dave Wottle, He is my HERO! Never give up! Greetings from Uruguay

Went through the same with my wife,six years after adopting a child legally from another country.You have children to care for .They come first.Your sorrow takes a bit of a back seat.

Wow - insightful conversation about BFRB. Love Aneela's point that "awareness brings compassion." Thank you for sharing here!

Beautiful video! #HelpingOthers ❤

I love everything about this video! Full circle indeed. Thanks for your golden nugget, Annette! xo

I love this insight!!! In our mental health community, we say "Secrets make you sick" because often we are hiding the condition. This ties in so beautifully for those with a condition that it makes the path lonely and for loved ones to remember to take the time and energy and sometimes ignore the "just leave me alone" comments and go in anyway for the talk, the laugh, the meal, the hug. Thank you!!!

“Find your tribe…” SO IMPORTANT 🙏❤️👏

Ah, Terri, thanks for transporting me there with you!

Wonderful 30 days to bring awareness and your story out into the world. Thank you!
