Added to my Running Playlist. INSPIRATIONAL!! When I get miffed off with an injury, I'll watch this. What a guy. SPortsmanship and true grit!

[@AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH]

Moorcroft's a true champion too many athletes of your caliber would have never done that

[@Zndwls]

Moorcroft fortunately had one superb year - 1982, when he set a world record at 5,000 metres and set personal records in virtually all the other distances. In this race, he showed true Olympic and athletic spirit - finishing the race, despite running in pain and way below his true abilities. I am glad that also Moorcroft - the big loser in this race - was featured, not just Aouita who won. Moorcroft had a fairly long and distinguished career, despite this sad race.

@Homingbird8 he says "bronze," not "france"

Athens?

I know it was the Olympics, but he really should have stepped off the track after two laps knowing he was injured and had no chance of avoiding last place. He could have done irreperable damage to his leg by continuing.
