At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Derek Redmond was strongly favored to win. When the gun signaled the beginning of the race, Derek exploded out of the blocks.
From the very moment he started sprinting, it seemed apparent he would win.
But something went wrong…
In a painful and humiliating moment, Derek's hamstring snapped. The pain was so intense, he collapsed on the track.
However, then and there Derek did the unexpected; he got up and began to hop down the track.
Derek did Not Give Up, he kept going. Because he did not give up, Derek crossed the finish line…
The crowd of 65,000 people rose to their feet and gave him a standing ovation. It was the loudest applause of the games.
In spite of the pain, in spite of the humiliation, in spite of the shattered Olympic dream Derek finished the race!
