[@noirjacques3274]

An example of guts personified! Proof that the human spirit is very difficult to defeat. 💪 🏃‍♂️. Tough as nails👍!

[@londongalx]

I didn't ugly cry to this. His first father's day without his dad. Such an inspiration ❤

[@TotallyNotElPresidente]

This is the ultimate father; he didn't let his son give up, he helped him cross that finish line no matter what so that he'd go until the very end.

[@bryanedney2723]

DOING THE UGLY CRY! Three parts of this clip that get me EVERY time...1. When Derek Redmond Collapses into his Father's arms 2. When dad (Jim Redmond) puts his arms around Derek's shoulders and 3. When Jim Redmond tells the official, "Leave Him Alone, I'm His FATHER!!!"

[@jasonjohnson3424]

When he comes running up to his side also. 😭

[@ochukopatricks4073]

Watching this on Father’s Day ❤️ a thought to those who lost their father be brave ❤️❤️

[@terranceparsons5185]

And for Father's who have lost their sons

[@codytylek7836]

I watched this and thought of my late father. He was the crutch for me like this in life. Always. As any great father is.

[@nicott667]

I never really had a dad. This makes me want to be one.

[@ClueyyHD]

RIP Jim Redmond. I think most forgot the winner of the race, but Jim and Derek won everyone’s hearts.

[@MostlyPennyCat]

I mean, it was just a heat, not a final. It's when you win the final that people remember your name, that or exceptional people like Derek.

[@johnbruce6460]

Listening to you in Aberdeen on the radio thanks for the memories all the best I have ran over 500 races and never one a race your an inspiration to many thanks

Jim Redmond his father passed away today he was 81. RIP My sympathies to his Family.

[@seanp7440]

Always try to watch this without crying. I'm 0-for-20.

[@punknhead23]

I remember screaming at the TV "Don't touch him! Don't touch him!" He actually was doing pretty good considering the torn hamstring.

[@x.CeeDee.x]

As much as you wouldn't want to be disqualified, he's also putting all of that weight on one leg which isn't good.. besides, a DQ wouldn't take away his accomplishments, not on global television and his father stepping in to help him.. is just everything man..

[@musiclove4887]

So in the end was his race still considered valid or was he disqualified, never mind the outcome...

[@punknhead23]

@@musiclove4887 he was disqualified.

[@musiclove4887]

Please show one of the most exciting women's football matches ever played in the Olympics between USA and Canada in the 2012 London Olympics semi-final match. Several of the matches of women's soccer from 2012 are already posted on the Olympic channel, but this match has not been posted. It was an intense, back-and-forth nail biter, truly a classic match in women's football history. Thank you.

[@terranceparsons5185]

The one with the long count, the dodgy referee and Christine Sinclairs hat trick. She basically let the feeling of a nation out after the game. I met Christine at a clinic she ran for my daughter's team. She let my daughter wear her medal for a photo and is truly one of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. I also went to a Canada US friendly at BMO field in Toronto. Every time the US goalie touched the ball, 20,000 people chanted 1 2 3 4 5......

[@aaronhauth8880]

i read in another thread that he was listed as DNF (did not finish)

[@sdcazares1980]

"Although Great Britains Redmond was disqualified and listed as "Did Not Finish" due to the outside assistance of his father finishing the race" Not like he was going to finish on the Top 3 anyway, but really? You couldn't give him a leeway here?

[@andarecinem9769]

The only Olympic race I would have a chance to not be in last place.

[@hxync_]

tutorial dad

[@spencerappell3067]

at about 3:49, you can hear a popping sound. that sound is probably derek redmond’s hamstring tearing

[@David_prod-eNGee]

I don't think the runners have mics.

[@spencerappell3067]

David Howard they don’t, but it’s possible that the field mics (like the ones that pick up the sound of the gun) might have picked up the sound of it. I’ve witnessed someone tear a hamstring and it was LOUD, possible it wasn’t tho, just a thought

[@cowboytrips9307]

I think the sound was the strong step he took after feeling the tear :/

[@kevinmacdonald9269]

are you really so stupid you think a muscle tearing can be heard on the audio being broadcasted?

[@DanceySteveYNWA]

He is directly in line with the field mic at the side of the track , but I'd suggest it's the sudden heavy steps associated with stopping that are being picked up by the mic, not a muscular tear.

[@musiclove4887]

So where is Derek now, watching EPL ??

[@jackiebayliss]

He is a motivational speaker now.

[@pxrksnoxxle6393]

Basically first

[@KoreanwithNaz]

That guy on lane 1 slowed down and that costed him 3rd place. Am I right ? Just an opinion tho :))

[@thomasmckenzie4584]

I think he was dead tired. But in the semis, the top 4 in each semi make the final, so that guy did qualify for the final anyway. He ran the final in lane 8 and finished last.

[@Gertzy41]

He probably would have been disqualified anyway! He jumped the gun 😭😭😭😭

[@the_ender4791]

His official record is a dnf (did not finish). Though when it happened, it showed a dq because he had outside assistance.
