1992 Olympic Games, Barcelona Spain
Derek Redmond is a British athlete who competed in the 400 meters semi-final of the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain. He tore his hamstring in the middle of the race but decided to continue despite the injury. His father rushed to his side to help him. It got Derek officially disqualified, but still, nothing beats finding a strong shoulder to lean and cry on during difficult times. The medical staff tried to stop them but his father waived them off. They were able to complete the full lap together.
Derek is currently a motivational speaker and the Director of Development for sprints and hurdles for UK Athletics.
