Cómo cubana viví esa carrera y lloré como niña pequeña y en 2012 cuando él pierde a su abuelita en preliminares fue un duro golpe y yo estaba segura él el iba a ganar llevaba todo ese sentimiento por dentro que le dio fuerzas para dedicarle a su abuelita ese triunfo 🏆 GRANDE FELIX SÁNCHEZ
Tan bella que eres Dios te bendiga reina. 😘
The biggest stadium in DR was named Felix Sanchez, in honor of this hero. I watch this video, and I still cry.
Y no sólo Sánchez lloró el día de la premiación sino todo los dominicanos contigo,,,,gracias por siempre felix
Todavía lloro cada vez que veo ese video.
Me recuerdo cuando me criaba en Puerto Rico y vimos esa carrera. Todos bien emocionados con la posibilidad de que íbamos a tener nuestra primera medalla de oro gracias a Culson y cuando me di cuenta que eso no iba a ser vi que Félix por lo menos estaba en la delantera y de una extraña forma encontré paz de que si no iba a ganar Puerto Rico por lo menos ganó la República que son nuestros hermanos. Mucho amor a la tierra hermana 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
España 🇪🇸 está con los dominicanos 🇩🇴.
Emocionado con este video. Lo sentí como si hubiera sido nuestro.
💪Vamos con todo hermanos.
Abrazosss para el pais que tiene la otra mitad de mi ❤🇪🇸
Ncület
De 11 millones de dominicanos que vivimos en República Dominicana casi todo vimos esa carrera,,,grande nuestro Félix Sánchez

Prohibido olvidar al Super Sanchez!
How much respect and pride the Super Felix deserves. He was able to be part of the most famous athletics team in the world and decided to be on his little land team, where his roots are coming from, the Dominican Republic. That must be remembered and seen forever. Thanks Super Felix. You can easily see his tears almost out again during his whole documentary.
We will be proud of you forever!
(Estaremos orgullosos de ti siempre)

EL INMORTAL FELIX SUPER SANCHEZ , NUNCA SERAS OLVIDADO REPÚBLICA DOMINICANA CELEBRO ESE DÍA , GRACIAS POR PONER NUESTRA BANDERA EN ALTO PUDIENDO HABER REPRESENTADO OTRO PAÍS
I'll never forget watching this moment live in a hotel in Montreal. Felix Sanchez, orgullo Dominicano!
Felix Sanchez is a hero and an inspiration to us all.
I remember watching him in Athens in '04 when he won gold. I didn't follow athletics closely at the time and didn't know who he was. 8 years later in London after losing an interest in athletics having enjoyed it for a few years, I watched Sanchez again and remembered him from Greece. It was amazing to see the same guy win the 400 hurdles 8 years apart. That kind of thing doesn't normally happen in the mankiller event. It was an astonishing feat. Good for him.
Por nuestro pais an pasado atletas muy buenos pero este hombre es.un antes y un despues en nuestra historia
Que exelente Dominicano es felix "super man " sanchez
Dominicana y el mundo te queremos HERMANO
Mi respeto para este gran atleta de tu país. Quisiera ver mas atletas dominicanos de este calibre en este deporte.
+Luis Donado gracias amigo hay esta Juana arrendell ex atleta
Wanda rijo
Luguelin Santos en los 400 planos es la estrella del atletismo ahora. Gano medalla de plata en Londres, aunque esta vez lo tendrá más dificil.
Nació y se crió en Nueva York pero toda su familia es dominicana y decidió representar a la República Dominicana. Saludos desde Santo Domingo para toda la Uruguay!
Please, make a movie about this man, that would be a worldwide success. Called it, SUPER FELIX. :D
Truly inspiring story!! Your grandmother would be so grateful that she had a grandchild like you buddy!! You are a true champion!! Muchas Gracias!!
Way to go Felix Sanchez. A great olympian and a true inspiration to all , on and off track.
Gracias Feliz por representarnos tan dignamente. Nuestra nación necesita más hombres como tú. Dios te bendiga mucho junto a tu familia.
Eres grande felix muchas gracias por hacerme entender que los sueños se pueden volver realidad

como olvidar, el orgullo que senti en aquel verano del 2004,mi himno, mi bandera arriba, fue inexplicable, gracias super man por poner en alto nuestra patria!
EL Super Sánchez un héroe y una gran inspiración para nosotros los Dominicanos 🇩🇴❤️🙏🏾
Watching his winning in 2012 still gives me chills, can't help it
One of my favourite athletes - I was eating some delicious Dominican Republic chocolate and it made me want to relive this - very inspiring, what track & field is all about. I also remember Felix winning a 400mH race AND a 400m flat on the same night at what would now be called a Diamond League meeting!!! Thank you for sharing your story Felix!
I will never forget the tears of the great Felix Sanchez on the podium of London 2012, it was beyond emotional. What a champion.
No me canso de ver a mi ídolo y mi compatriota bendiciones para él
Yo soy cubana y tampoco me canso que grande Felix Sánchez todos los cubanos también lloramos junto con el recuerdo que mi mamá y yo gritábamos correee felix aguanta aguanta que gran emoción
Thank you for that beautiful story
Felix, you can be proud of you!!!
I couldn't stop crying Felix. Gracias for the moments of joy and glory and your humbleness.
🙏🏽 One of the greatest Human Being. Thank You Feliz Sanchez

Massive respect for Fèlix. You're the inspiration for the young hurdlers.
God bless his kind soul. I had tears in my eyes at the end when he was in the podium for 2012
Excelente atleta felix sanchez bendiciones un gran campeón, desde Puerto Rico y soy del Quemado la vega RD
His name means lucky in latin, but I think that we were all the lucky ones being able to see him fight through personal adversity and persevering through to be a great runner.
Means happy in latin.
happy
A hero. He has actually inspired Dominican athletes since DR has medalled during 4 Games in a row in sports such as athletics, taekwondo, and boxing, as well as 400 meters. His victory in 2012 was just amazing and made us all, dominican or not, proud
Orgulloso de compartir la nacionalidad contigo Felix!!!!!!!!!
Los puertorriwuenos estados contigo siempre campeon
Orale Super Felix! Eres 10 anos mas grande que yo. Entonces, creciendo te vi competir durante los anos. Te vi ganar en el 2004 Atenas y te vi ganar de nuevo en el 2012. Felicidades! Esta orgullosa tu abuela de ti por todo lo que haz hecho.

Felix Sanchez the greatest. Thanks for representing the Dominican Republic so well. Two times Olympic champion. (Athen 2004 and London 2012).
An exceptional, inspirational human being and athlete. I just saw this and I cried too. Well done.
me ciento muy orgullo de ti,gracias por poner el nombre de los Dominicanos en alto.
Amazing comeback 💕❤tears of joy
Gracias a Félix Sánchez se abrió una puerta demasiado grande en el atletismo en República Dominicana, gracias a él muchísimos atletas han surgido con el deseo de llegar a ser un grande como el. Félix Sánchez marco un antes y un después en el deporte de República Dominicana, luego de eso comenzó apoyarse un poco más el atletismo, ya que el deporte en el que más los jóvenes pensaba solo era baseball. Gracias Félix Sánchez siempre serás grande para los dominicanos ! ❤
Super Felix Sanches I Love Republica Dominicana Que Viva Quisquella La Bella
+Randal Santana Quisqueya. Con Y
Having more than a couple of tears in front of the computer scream...; thank you very much Felix for opening you heart !Muchas gracias hermano latino !
When I see him in this video , make me feel so proud de ser dominicana felix Sanchez Gloria dominicana GOD BLESS YOU we love you
The great thing about Sanchez is that he was a great finisher. In order to beater you better have had a great lead going into the 9.
Wow! 🇩🇴 I’m proud to be Dominican. Thank you Felix for everything
What an emotional and inspiring story.
God bless you, Felix. You inspire me. I love you.
This guy had one heck of a finish. Great athlete.
Iconic.
my top Olympic moment.
What a beautiful runner he was.
This is beautiful, what a great man
Gracias feliz Sánchez por tanto para nuestras nación República Dominicana 🇩🇴 te ama ❤
Great interview. Excellent guy. Super Sanchez. Orgullo Dominicano 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
Watching this again in 2021!! Dominican Republic needs to make a film of Him.
mi idolo. nothing makes me cry as much as hearing my anthem and seeing his face on that podium, even if i was too young to remember it in 2004.
his win marked a past and a present for the DR. I strongly believe our government would have never started taking sports funding more seriously (and they could still improve) if it wasnt for him. We already had talent in our country, but Felix really showed it to the world
I am crying so hard now
Didn't know how hard and almost impossible the second gold medal was to accomplish
My hat off for this great champion
orgullosamente dominicano de corazon
Grande el SUPER SÁNCHEZ, we all LOVE YOU here.🇩🇴🇩🇴
Legend!!! THANK U FELIX SÁNCHEZ!!!
They need to make a movie of ths man...you made us so proud felix
Dawn rain :-P, your story is definitely a rare one & your Grandmother would be so proud of your achievements.
We're All proud of you Super Felix!! 🇩🇴🇩🇴

I followed you through a lot of years and you are one of my all time fave hurdler or athlete for many years.
Mi deportista favorito he hido 8 veces a tu estadio en santo Domingo y siempre me recuerdo de felix sanchez🎉

Gracias Felix por poner nuestro país en alto con tu trabajo duro. Dios te bendiga y te guarde.

Long ago 1979 i was a sophmore on top of the world, just ran a 38.9 in the 330 low hurdles in high school. I knew the junior year with cross country and running through the winter turning 17 i was determined to break 38 seconds in the 330 low hurdles. Somehow somewhere i took the wrong path in high school and never joined track and field again. I cheated myself in participating the most greates years of my time on Earth....................my youth and now i am training again at 54 years old putting a goal of myself to get back down to 38.9 seconds in the 330 lows again 2020 summer. Hmmmm, should be interested Felix with this video i always felt something about you, the videos you make has redeeemed myself to keep moving and ..............getter done. I believe i can do it again go with me GOD!! LOU Diaz
Go for it Sir
You can participate in the Olympics of the third age. Hope you go and medal
