Let's take a look back at the semi-final of the Men's 400 metres sprint where Derek Redmond tore his hamstring and still finished the race limping while the crowd in the stadium gave him a standing ovation. Although Great Britains Redmond was disqualified and listed as "Did Not Finish" due to the outside assistance of his father finishing the race, this very inspirational race has become a well-remembered and inspirational moment in Olympic history - Enjoy watching!

@@musiclove4887 no cos itâs displayed on youtube
This is simultaneously the most heartbreaking and heartwarming video of all time.
This was one of the greatest and inspirational moments in the history of sports
Yes sir
*World's* *luckiest* *audience* *ever*đđđđđđ
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!!!"
When he comes running up to his side also. đ
RIP Jim Redmond. I think most forgot the winner of the race, but Jim and Derek won everyoneâs hearts.

I remember when this happened. Watching again today, in floods of tears!
I cant stop crying too. Its the courage for me
finally a clip of this race without any voiceovers or music
Rip Jim, what a moment
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.
I adore the lack of commentary. More like this, please.
I didn't ugly cry to this. His first father's day without his dad.
Such an inspiration â€
That is one of the greatest fathers of all time, wish i had a father like that
An example of guts personified! Proof that the human spirit is very difficult to defeat. đȘ đââïž. Tough as nailsđ!
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
Gold medal becomes pale in comparison to this.
Derek won standing ovation of 65000 peoples & it is the most beautiful moments
Watching this on Fatherâs Day â€ïž a thought to those who lost their father be brave â€ïžâ€ïž
And for Father's who have lost their sons
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.
I never really had a dad. This makes me want to be one.
The NBC (United States) broadcast said it best: "That is the Olympic Spirit."
BIG RESPECT
Jim Redmond his father passed away today he was 81.
RIP
My sympathies to his Family.
There are no words, just a fathers love for his son đâ€ïž
It's not how you start not how you finish.the most important is not to win but take part.i admire derek and jim for their courage to finish the race together
Una maravilla como los 65 mil catalanes que estaban presentes en el estadio aplaudieron sin parar a Jim y su padre....simplemente inolvidable đđœđđœđđœđđœđđœđđœ
That was so nice of him helping his son to finish the race.
Love of a father is priceless in this world
I remember screaming at the TV "Don't touch him! Don't touch him!" He actually was doing pretty good considering the torn hamstring.
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..
So in the end was his race still considered valid or was he disqualified, never mind the outcome...
@@musiclove4887 he was disqualified.
@@punknhead23 oh how sad...but really its better to be disqualified then record a timing of like 3:30 for 400m đłđł heck, someone wld hv done a 1500m in that đ
My father died 4 months back. Watching this video drew me to tears!!
Admirable
This is called true passion for your loved sport đȘâ€đđŻ
We don't have enough Dads like this in the world. They're busy making babies but not being real fathers
đŻđŻ
RIP Jimâ€
No matter what the test, let's not give up like Derek Redmond who didn't give upâŁïž.
Always try to watch this without crying. I'm 0-for-20.
unable to control my tears.... I wish Derek for great opportunities in future
An epic inspirational story for millions forever
Yes indeed

The dad wearing the cap saying 'just do it' ....no matter that he knew he would be disqualified, it's about the principal of the sport. Not qwinning or losing
Dereks dad deserves millions

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.
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......
literally THE MATCH, best one in soccer history; nail biter from beginning to end
4:40 guy in yellow hat, "First!".... (jk)
So where is Derek now, watching EPL ??
He is a motivational speaker now.

I love how he waves off those stupid green jacket guys
tutorial dad
The only Olympic race I would have a chance to not be in last place.
So in the end was his race still considered valid or was he disqualified, never mind the outcome...
i read in another thread that he was listed as DNF (did not finish)
at about 3:49, you can hear a popping sound. that sound is probably derek redmondâs hamstring tearing
I don't think the runners have mics.
David Howard they donât, but itâs possible that the field mics (like the ones that pick up the sound of the gun) might have picked up the sound of it. Iâve witnessed someone tear a hamstring and it was LOUD, possible it wasnât tho, just a thought
I think the sound was the strong step he took after feeling the tear :/
are you really so stupid you think a muscle tearing can be heard on the audio being broadcasted?
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.
That guy on lane 1 slowed down and that costed him 3rd place. Am I right ? Just an opinion tho :))
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.
goo's bump's
Basically first
He probably would have been disqualified anyway! He jumped the gun đđđđ
His official record is a dnf (did not finish). Though when it happened, it showed a dq because he had outside assistance.
Incredible marketing stunt by Nike
My unbeatable 400m worldrecord on the olympics in 2028
Karma got him ! He jumped the gun ! đđđđ

Is 78 seconds a good time? That was my first time for the 400m. I am 6'3 160lbs, 26M, pretty fit, but I have never ran before lol.
78 is pretty average for a non athletic, i run 400 in just over 50 seconds, i am 5'6 75KG but i am a proper track runner but i do 200m 100m, best 100m was 11.14 200m was 23.56
