- BELIEVE and ACHIEVE !!! Deena, the Distance Diva, heroically came from far behind and clawed her way to 3rd place for the Bronze Medal. The D.K. autograph that is part of this video montage was obtained by TheMotionDevotion's curator when Deena visited with and spoke to the marathon training group of the Chicago Area Runners Association (CARA) on July 23, 2005 before they stepped off for a run on the Chicago lakefront.
Here's a photo of D.K. and her adoring fans at that CARA event:

As explained during the Q&A portion of her CARA visit, not until entering the stadium did she realize that 3rd place and the Bronze Medal were hers. Having come from so far back, reeling in competitors one-by-one, she had no way of knowing how many more runners were ahead until the scoreboard in the stadium revealed that Deena Kastor was headed for the podium.

After all these years, watching this still makes me emotional. I still remember screaming at my TV as this went down live. Deena you are such an inspiration even to this day. Thank you for what you have done for the American running community.
I get goosebumps every time I watch this finish. Deena Kastor, you are an inspiration. If y'all haven't read her book, it is amazing!
Yeah it wasn't a bad read.
My college team (11-15) would still watch Deena, even when she was Deena Drossin, and we'd watch Joanie too. I don't get star struck, but when I see her around town in Mammoth, I'm like... brain scramble star struck. In college, they do the interview thing for the athletics dept. My favorite athlete was: Joan-Deena-Beniot-Drossin-Samuelson-Kastor!!!!!
She's my new favourite US marathoner. So gracious and classy. I don't know how anyone coud not like her.
A great, great moment in American running. A brilliant race that inspired my own effort when I finally qualified for the Boston Marathon. I was cheering and in tears when I watched this happen in real time on TV.
GREAT win by the japanese runner - Such Strength and Determination ! The guts to pull away on the steep hills in that heat and keep the lead all the way through, making sure none of the others had a chance. NICE :- )
Just before the race, Mizuki Noguchi's coach had told her to put out a " very long" last spurt at 25 km because he considered that it was the only way for her to be able to win against Catherine Ndereba who could run very fast on the downhill the latter half of Athens' course was characterized by while Noguchi was very good at running on the uphill. Her coach's advice had been studied and elaborated based on the data of 2003 Paris World Athletics Championship where Noguchi was defeated by Ndereba who won the gold medal. However it is very clear that this victory would have never been won without her constant efforts and hard training. Her motto was " The distance you have run (for training) never betrays (you) ".
She was the first American to win an Olympic medal of any color in either the men's or the women's marathon since Joan Benoit won gold in the very first women's Olympic marathon in LA back in 1984!
I will never forget being overwhelmed when I watched this and her face at the finish line. It's happening again as I'm rewatching🥹
Another thing that helped was that Paula Radcliffe (Great Britain), who was a heavy favorite and running in third at about the 22-mile mark, suddenly dropped out of the race.
Thank you for putting her name. I had forgotten the name of the lady who had the unorthodox running style and constant head movement.
Great moment in US running history! The constant breakaway to the autograph was silly and took away from this great video. Why??
Was just about to make the same comment. The race was dramatic enough without the cheesy quote and the shots of the cheetah.
Who won the gold then anyway?
@@peterpietrzak1253 Mizuki Noguchi of Japan.
Molly Seidel winning bronze for Team USA in the Women's marathon in Tokyo 2020/21 brought me here.
I get quite emotional watching this, especially when the commentator says “in tears, in tears…” What an incredible race.
Do you know any sites to find the whole 26.2 race? I’ve seen snippets, but would love to see the entire race from start to finish.
She worked so, so hard to get the Bronze...She is AMAZING! I always cry with her when she crosses the finish line...love you Deena!
Thank you for this. I have been looking for it for a long time.
Best moment of the entire OG for me. I admit, I was crying as she came across too! Role f*cking model! As good as it gets.
Kastor ran the smartest race of all the leaders. It was 95 F. (35 C.) when the race began. She prepared by sitting in a freezer for two hours. Then she conserved her strength through the early part of the race, pouring it on after the day started to cool. World record holder Radcliffe, by contrast, tried to hold the lead from the beginning, and ended up exhausting herself.
Noguchi ran like a Zen master, detached from the pain. The Africans ran like birds in the air, totally in their element.
Mizuki Noguchi ran the smartest race of all the leaders. She won.
Catherine Ndereba ran the second smartest race of all the marathoners. She won the silver medal!
This video always brings tears to my eyes too. An incredible accomplishment for a very neat lady.
I'd be crying for a bronze as well, way to go girl!
...her finishing brought back tears in my eyes..
Good video, except for the constant dumb cutaways.
Amazing, so touching.
I remember this women's Olympic marathon in Athens 2004. Great Britain's Paula Radcliffe was the favorite to win this woman's marathon, but didn't finish.
She chopped away at that lead like mad.
Mizuki Noguchi 😍😍😍🇧🇴🇯🇵
Yes this was quite difficult to put into words when I watched it on the day - what a come from behind coup! Well done Deena.
When she said in her interview her hopes this will revive marathoning for the U.S., I have to ask when will Canada ever get a marathoner on the podium?
Alguien podria decirme donde puedo encontral este maraton femeno de 2004 completo y el maraton varonil de Sydney 2000 si alguien tiene estas 2 carreras en VHS o DVD favor contactarme
Deena still inspire me and we have a signed poster to me and my daughters in our living room.
Amazing. Did they run this super early in the day - looks dark outside.
They ran into the evening, timing that suggests the Olympic Committee favoured the viewers over the competitors. A 6am or 5.30am start would have been much kinder to the athletes temperature-wise, surely. cf. Dubai marathon - 6am start and dark for the first hour
レース終盤にグングン追い上げて銅メダル獲得
感極まってのゴールには感動した
Don't you think this would be a good idea... Instead of only Gold, Silver and Bronze... shouldn't we add aluminum and plastic for 4th and 5th ? This way Paula Radcliffe would have won Plastic at least !!
Sorry, but I don't want to get the aluminium one
Except she dropped out, so wouldn't have won anything 🤔
tremenda carrera se mando la gringa Deena Kastor, yo vi en vivo esa final
yo tambien vi en vivo esa carrera ,en Venezuela el narrador de RCTC varios kilometros antes del final estaba relatando las adversidades que tuvo que superar Deena Kastor para llegar a las olimpiadas, un divorcio, alejamiento de la familia, se mudo con su pequeño hijo para una zona remota en Colorado ,en donde se concentro para entrenar como maratonista con su propio dinero el poco que le quedo del divorcio, y olvidar sus problemas personales,
Did japan take the gold?
Yes
I think the forth placer OR the last one should be have more reason to cry. this is inspiring.
4:17 Unusual results. Japanese have so rarely won other major marathons.
It was not surprising for us because there are many international marathon races in Japan (Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka etc..) where a lot of tops runners from all over the world participate and Naoko Takahashi (gold medalist at 2000 Sydney Olympics) and Mizuki Noguchi (gold medalist at 2004 Athens Olympics) had already defeated most of them in those years ( these two continued to win constantly with the record between 2°21" - 2°25" and their best time is 2°19"46' in 2001 and 2°19"12' in 2005 respectively * another runner Yoko Shibui also recorded 2°19"41' in 2004 ). Normally Japanese runners prefer taking part in these games in domestic areas instead of going abroad, that's why Japanese runners were not so well known publicly abroad but foreign top runners knew very well about them. Japan was very strong in women's marathon from 1990s till 2008 and there were so many who were running easily under 2°24" - 26" but unfortunately after these two greatest athletes' peak was over, nobody else could reach their level and now we are like in 1980s where no Japanese female runner was able to win.
