WHAT A FINISH!!
To use this video in a commercial player or in broadcasts, please email licensing@storyful.com
UCC star Phil Healy “came from the depths of hell” to claim a thrilling victory in the women’s 4x400m relay at the Irish Universities Track and Field Championships in Santry last weekend.
The Cork college looked to be way out of contention when Healy took the baton on for the anchor leg in fifth position of seven runners. UCD looked to be in command with just 400m to go, leading UL by 30m and CIT a further 5m in arrears.
But in an incredible final lap, as commentators Ronan Duggan and Cathal Dennehy considered the race for second place as the only one worth watching, UL’s Michelle Finn reeled in the leader with almost 200m to spare and looked certain to snatch gold for Limerick.
However, as she began to fade, Healy, summoning every last ounce of energy, stormed down the outside to pip Finn at the line in the most dramatic of circumstances.
The 21-year-old Irish international sprinter from Bandon AC had previously won the women’s 200m at the meeting in 23.93 and she fell over the line after the exhausting effort, to the delight of two ecstatic, and increasingly high-pitched, commentators.
Enjoy. - Sport
FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL...iconic commentary
+pulluptheroots - ...and almost falling off the balcony. priceless
+pulluptheroots hahhaa, listened to that portion a few times myself.
+pulluptheroots Definitely the best phrase to describe where that girl came from to win the race.
Hilarious!
The two lads commentating deserve a medal as well! Made the whole thing even better! XD. Well done Phil on the comeback!
"UCC FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL" - commentator LOL
Every time I need some motivation I come back to this race💪👍
This is easily one of the best videos on CZcams. An absolutely impossible feat of sport before our very eyes... and the best commentary the world has ever heard. Lmao
3:56
Epic come-back; massive dive; outrageous commentary. This clip has it all!
And a girl named Phil.
The collapse at the finish line. Dramatic AF
The female commentator should have a place in commentating BPL
@nishan syed there’s no female commentator, it’s Cathao and Ronan, one being my school coach and the other being an independent journalist
Sadly the IAA stupidly dropped them the day before the commentary of the Nationals this year leaving 2 muppets to fill in. Shocking stuff considering these 2 were our finest
ive watched this 3 times and cried each time. that was heroic.
infinite3joy it brings me to tears every time too. It's an outrageous final lap.
I thought I was the only one ..... I also cried. Wow what an amazing and historic comeback!
Me too! But then those two guys could make you cry watching grass grow. What a run and what a call.
I did too
I also cried!
The first time the girl that eventually wins the race enters the SCREEN is at 3:38 or so, and she's around 50 meters behind with the leader only having about 200 meters left to run. I've never seen anything like this.
Happens in horse racing all the time.
@@raygordonteacheschess5501 🤣👋
"Helloooo!" "From the depths of hell!!!" haha Fucking legends
i spoke to soon
The commentators with the World Class call !! "UCC FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL" .... they got me hype like i was watching the Kentucky Derby LOL
i agree. didnt realize i was holding my breath! ha
University College Cork nursing student Phil Healy, quoted in the Irish Examiner: "It was crazy because we didn’t expect to win and I only decided to run 20 minutes before the event. I had ran (sic) in the 100 and 200 metres and one of the girls just asked would I fill in on the last leg and I said 'throw me in and I’ll see what I can do'".
That's future olympian Phil Healy; did the other "future olympian" Michelle Finn (sp?) make it?
@@raygordonteacheschess5501 Yep, she ran for Ireland in the 3,000 metres steeplechase at the Summer Olympics in Rio in 2016 finishing 11th in her heat.
@@DaveKahn Meanwhile Phil Healy is still a star and probably was the better runner.
Cathal Dennehy (depths of hell guy) was on the Dan Patrick show this morning talking about the race/call. Epic radio. He tells Dan, ya we pretty much lost our minds, our composure, our professionalism.. Definitely worth a listen.
Did he happen to mention did that other girl wear them heels after.
Does anyone else cry watching this? As an athlete this is what it’s all about
A tear on the 1000th rewatch still. With no chance in hell so she left the depths of hell
Yes, and I'm certainly not an athlete. The girl ran out of her skin!
Yep
Facts
I love that commentary of "Coming from the depths of Hell". That was a very vivid description of just how much distance she had to make-up. This young lady really overcame some serious distance to obtain this team win. She believed in herself and never quit and that faith had her standing on the winner's podium. There is a movie in this story.
"From the depths of hell!"
Now THAT'S some good color commentary.
Phil Healy is the Irish nurse/students name. the footage has become the most watched athletic clip in recent days and someone needs to get this women in front of the camera so we can all see her again and find out what her reaction was to the clip going viral. Come on Irish News. This is one Irish girl to be proud of
well she is representing in the olympics
Healy made the olympics this year.
I used to run track in the 80s, high school and college. That final lap brought tears of joy! I miss that fighting spirit to make it to the tape.
400m split ? Read further down
Whatever you think, I still believe it is one of the most impressive comebacks ever (with Floria Guei in an other 4x400m).
After spending wayyyyyy too much time watching the video dozens of times, I calculated her split time to be between 52"5 and 54".
I don't know how old she was at the time but since then, she got the 100 m and 200 m Irish records and she has also run the 400m in around 52s.
As far as I know, she's on her way to the Olympics next summer (while studying/working as a nurse), so kudos to you Phil !!!
CZcams was made to preserve and publicize moments like this.
Wow "from the depths of hell" might be my favorite track announcer commentary EVER!!
Son of a @#$%&! That's the LAST time I'll ever bet on the IUAA Womens 4 x 400m relay final.
This is such an underrated comment
"from the depths of hell". I cant get enough of this video. it has it all from suspense, rising action, and a surprise ending
Salute to women in red. You were great. Your fan from Russia :))))
To be sure the girl who won had one heck of a leg coming back from "the depth of hell" and giving it all! What a performance for her team!
Absolutely loved this. The race was crazy considering I like the callers had picked different place getters though me more so on each lap. But the purity of the commentary, excited, enthused, REAL.... that was sport at its finest moment. Just unbridled passion.... oh and to top it off, the accents.... love the Irish... best wishes from New Zealand.
That’s my coach (the guy who doesn’t say from the depths of hell) and yes he gets insanely excited about athletics. Absolute legend (and his cork accent does make it x10 better)
I keep coming back to see this over and over.
Commentators could barely speak clearly they were so excited at the end LOL!
Ozzy Man Reviews anyone!?
+ThatAussieGirl ozzymans commentary was great
Love that a runner from another team checks on her! good on you for that sportsmanship!
dear bbc hire the commentator now
wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Ucc from the depths of hell😂😂😂😂
A truly epic effort... inspirational and outstanding! "UCC from THE DEPTHS OF HELL is pumping through!!!" so good...
Ha! You may be right! I listened to it two more times and couldn't tell 🙂
SHE CAME OUT OF NOWHERE WHAT THE HELL
What the depths of hell!
she came from the depths of hell, of course
This race was one for the record. What a never surrender attitude. Congratulations on that miracle finish!
Brilliant race (from all 28 athletes) including the fabulous commentary. This is what athletics should be all about - everyone giving it their all. Yes, it's not a time to set the world on fire, but who cares? Everyone's clean and determined to win and the race is unbelievably entertaining. I've watched this with my kids a hundred times and we've loved every second, including the honest and fun commentary. You can take your Olympics and shove it up your arse as far as I'm concerned. Kudos.
If you have ever ran a 400m at full pace you will understand how incredible this is. Wow!
Soo true a lot easier to run a straight line
+Stansla Michael the curve isn't what make it hard...
If you've ever lost to a racehorse who didn't even enter the television picture until the far turn, you'd know it happens very often.
@@iratepeople455 Actually it is a little bit. Running in straight line is easy when you are tired rather than in a curve as you also have to balance your weight while turning.
The 400 is often termed the most difficult distance....as it is neither truly a sprint nor a distance run......when I ran track, the most brutal of all workouts involved 400 meter intervals.
This is incredible. The first in line (yellow) turns out to be the last runner while the last in line (red) turns out to be the final winner. Epic "depths of hell" commentary!
A real Maggie Vessey style win !!
01:19 "...CIT at the moment in second as I nearly fall off the balcony. I'll step forward. It's safe, and..." "Exciting times, Cathal." "It is."
was this on tursday the turty-turd. The squealing commentary at the end is priceless.
lol
+Damian Rangi pardon my ignorance but what is tursday the turty-turd?
+Damian Rangi LMAO
+Declan Silvine :DD
+Damian Rangi I know, it's sounds terrible. They just don't seem to hear themselves, or maybe they just don't care. Just put the tongue a little bit further toward the lower rim of the teeth, and it comes out right.
Run out of breath just watching this.
The most amazing thing is there were no more than 200 people watching this live and yet they were so into it.
I have watched this many times, it is still great.
The 400m takes pure grit and shows your true colors. I can say that even though i'm in excruciating pain it is one of my favorites races, along with the 200m.
"From the depths of hell" has to be the best commentary I have heard in a while.
The commentary definitely fit the race perfectly! I've never seen anyone deserve to win so much.
Maybe the wrong person got picked for the Olympic team?
+Qwerty Qwerty That would explain it! Thanks for the clarification.
This never gets old
Absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G-! There is no such thing as second place for those who desire to win. She had her focus, not on her position and not on her circumstances but on "Her Purpose"! If you have failed in life; if you have fallen; if you find yourself far behind - DO NOT FOCUS ON YOUR POSITION - FOCUS ON YOUR DESIRE AND PURPOSE! You CAN come from the deepest of hell holes and succeed at whatever you set your heart towards. GIVE ALL YOU HAVE AND GO FOR IT! YOU GOT THIS! YOU GOT THIS! I promise you, YOU GOT THIS!
wow, wow, wow, wow, wow! That's an incredibly distance to make up in one trip around the track. I've never seen anyone make up so much in one lap.
+Nice and Easy she did great. it helped her a lot that 2 of the leading girls began to blowout. you could see the cringe in her face at the end because her leg was giving up on her.
I had to rewind and see, in my own words, "where the *** did that girl in red/orange even come from?!?" Found 3:39, DANG
this would go in as one of the greats ..
HOLY SHIT! I stand up to this woman!
That was a magnificent race! That was the best finish I have seen ever!
Good job everyone! This was truly a great suspense action scene.
This is epic. It has to be in top 10 videos on the internet ever filmed. It's a shame so few know about this.
1. Incredible finish to go from almost last place to first! 2. Wow, I feel terrible for the girl in yellow going from first in a ginormous lead to dead last.
+ChristophProbst There were seven teams, and Phil Healy (girl in red) went from fifth to first, and the girl in yellow went from first to fifth. So neither of them were ever "dead last".
I get chills every time I watch this.
from the depths of hell he said and I lost it
That was BEYOND amazing!!!
The Rocky theme was playing in her head.
+Kegan Terry no it was chariots of fire lol
+Kegan Terry If it was "Rocky", she would have lost, but at least she would have finished!
Holy crap, what a race!!! Have never even heard of these school before but with the great performances and amazing commentating, I was enthralled from start to finish.
Might be 3 years late but i'll give you run down
UCC- University college cork
DCU - Dublin city university
DIT - Dublin institute of technology
CIT- Cork institute of technology

"FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL, SHE CLIMBS HER WAY BACK!" greatest line in this video
"She is engineering her way up through the field here!" Brilliant commentary!
What a come back from Phil Healy bring home the gold Ireland is proud of you no matter what
I haven't seen this clip in 5 yrs it still cemented in my brain "UCC FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL, WHAT A RUN!"
Anyone still watching this in 2019?
No 2021 actually if you can believe it
The commentary is priceless. Well done lads. And obviously Ms. Healy. Go on Cork!! A win for my old college UCC. Terrific stuff
Not world class runners....but world class courage and heart.
I got tears welled up in my eyes.
Probably the best running race ever...
when starbucks closes in 5 minutes
WHAT A RACE... WHAT A finish! THAT VID ...fantastic. One of the most motivational you´ll ever have. Great!
Oh my God!! My belly hurts from laughing so hard lmao
Giving it her all, that's the mind of a true athlete right there.
This is the best commentary ever
She wasn't even in the same time zone... and won. Incredible.
Wow... From worst to first. What an Epic Finale. Great finish *and that commentary was funny*
+walter msechu And from first to worst! Why was that woman running anchor???
Greatest race I have ever seen with outstanding commentary!!!
Sometimes I come back to watch this just to remember "NEVER GIVE UP!"
Wow. What a race!
Never give up. Never give up. What a run! Im inspired...
amazing 1million views great for Athletics in Ireland!
Loved it!!! the 2 young men commentators sounded like two old very excited british women.....excellent!!!!!!!! and he closed out with "Phil Healy what a run!" You can't fake that, they are the real deal.....Bravo!!!
UCC FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL 😂😂😂😂 This was an incredible race but the announcers just made it so much better
The girl is Phil Healy and it was her third race that day. She is normally a sprinter.
haha best commentary ever
In an internet full of sensationalist headlines that almost always fail to deliver, this one is the real deal. Truly amazing.
When you've got a race at 12:30 but your husband's flight from Afghanistan arrives at 12:35
...from the DEPTHS OF HELL.... (lol!!!!!)
Probably the best thing I’ve seen in sports ever. She’s amazing.
Looking at this after they mention it in my 'First Year Guide to Success' UCC booklet on the Clubs page! Forgot how great this race was!
That's the definition of "leaving it all on the field." Or track that is.
This remains one of the best things on the internet!
There's no way the 137 people who disliked the video actually watched it till the end.
nah they were all Trinity students... Apparently there wasn't enough attention paid to their university in this video
Well that escalated quickly.
these races makes you want to get into racing
Wow wow wow, what a suspense race... me and my wife was cheering as we are right in the action. Truly amazing comeback!!
"She's DEAD!!!" hahaha I died
"From the depths of the hell" lol. That was hilarious. Craaaaaazzzy finish.
3:35 turbo blaster jets of the steeplechase specialists!
3:50 here comes where's wally
3:55 UCC FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL ARE POWERING THROUGH!
With about 50 meters to go, all training and skill went out the window. Only heart and desire won that race.
