- Now in HD. And still no cheesy music or titles!
The video shows Heather Dorniden falling and still winning the 600-meter race in the 2008 Big Ten Indoor Track Championships.
Thank you for the "No cheesy music". It was fantastic to watch just as it is.
If she had just won, she would've been forgotten a day later. Instead she fell, got up and fought against the odds and won and now she will inspire millions forever.
So true🙌
Yep. She sure inspired me! I'm going to use this video with my students.
Why would she forget it a day later? Lol. This would've been a great accomplishment regardless of the fall.. yes the fall makes it more memorable but I don't think she'd forget the next day when you train your whole life for this
@@x.kitsune he is taking about the people the people would forget her a day or later
@@x.kitsune "she would've BEEN forgotten a day later"
Thinks: “Oh crap, now I’ve got to show everyone how fast I really am.”
never give up never give in, live and die on this day, live or die.
Yeaaah! This is good. Sorry about the fall, but way to hang in there. Beautiful and amazing. Please take care. I hope you are well.
When God has something prepared for you, nobody can take it away.
Moral of the story - if you're going to knock someone down, make sure they stay down
felicitaciones, campeona!!
I love how she shook her head at the end
That shot of adrenaline kicked after that stumble.
Amazing!!
To win one has to get up just one more time.
I think that if he doesn't fall, he doesn't win the race. The infusion of adrenaline after he fell caused all the energy to be released.
This is how great performances are made.
I think you just have to think that you have fallen and mobilize yourself to give it your all
It was even more amazing that everyone except her was bent over in exhaustion after the race. She stood straight up, stoic. What a beast.
Adrenaline is a hell of drug. Impressive indeed tho
To be fair, she did get an extra break in between(just kidding, she's an absolute beast no doubt)
*She got up and decided to run even faster and take the win.* No regrets, no excuses, no second thoughts, just pure clarity, self-confidence and a winner's mindset.
And the whole world continued on as if she never existed.
@@dakotaridge literally everybody still remembers this day. It's still continuously spoken of. I don't get what you were trying to point out, but you are COMPLETELY wrong.
It's almost like it was a race or something 😂
@@dakotaridge exactly.. None of these matter more than some days
That means she was lazy before she fell
Makes you wonder what we are truly capable of. This is one of the greatest athletic performances of all time.
100%! She said alot without speaking, even after winning. And for the cheering crowd?❤❤😂. Am literally weeping
Exactly! That's what I was thinking: What would be the time if she didn't fall?
I take nothing away from her heart and soul, but ADRENALINE, good stuff!
@@homersimpson8414
If we could learn to harness our adrenaline then we’d really bring new meaning to the expression fight or flight; I honestly believe we were meant to fly; in this world and in the next;
Actually it speaks to her character and to luck and timing....so ya i guess.
Over a decade later we are still enjoying one of the best races in history!
I just see it today for the first time
That bc it's more about the effort than the race
This is such an amazing sporting moment. I have watched it at least 25 times.
The most "sport" in it was her teammate which didn't "just let her" win but fought to the end. Actually, initially it was Dorniden's mistake during overtaking - but of course her comeback is the most unusual and inspiring aspect and the thing to learn from this race.
Why not 26
@@jootpepet That would clearly be 1 too many times
really? normal thing when u go out home when youre young...
only?
Ive used this one several times as a motivational video. Heather was all heart and determination that day. 100% Legend.
Great idea!!
I remember my pastor using this as a sermon opener.
This is so applicable to anything in life really
Wow thanks for the HD clean video. It is almost beyond belief that she was on her face with one lap left and fought back to win. Just incredible.
I’m sorry but I LOVE the fact that the girl she tripped on came in dead last. 🤷🏽♂️ Sue me 😂 and that crowd roar just makes it 10x better!
Would’ve been real hard for me not to run up and tackle her!!
Notice how she stayed way back away??
Shame she was from PSU in my hometown..
Mmm mmm!!
That was satisfying to watch!!
This is emotional for me and a lifetime lesson as well. Though others may have trip you, betray you, forsake you and left you behind to die in your pain, shame and missery, know that there is more inside you to make it to the finish line as a winner. Never give up.
This video moves me to tears every time I watch it. Never, ever give up!! Ever!!!
I thought only I cried!
I literally cried for hours after watching this, even my roommates cried and now we're sat around in a circle wiping each others tears.
Me too.. found a new star
Me too. Tears. Every time !
@@dann5480 hahaha
Finally, a video, with phenomal quality of said race. Kudos to the uploader. Just to give a measure, of difference, up to seing this, I had the impression, the star painted on her left cheek, was a bruise caused by her fall. As for the race itslef, the achievement is, as many times mentioned, UNBELIEVABLE!
This gave me chills! DORNIDEN COMING DOWN THE STRETCH FROM THE OUTSIDE! DORNIDEN COMING ON STRONG! DORNIDEN FROM ALL THE WAY! DORNIDEN! YES! YES! SHE DID IT!WOW! UNBELIEVABLE!
Me too, why is that?
Specially that's a gutsy effort
And she was barely winded. What a machine.
That is the power of Adrenaline.
@@Heart2HeartBooks and good lungs. Adrenaline dies out once the race is over and immediately fatigue takes its place. But she looked somewhat fine for doing such an amazing feat
well she did take a little break
@@pianissimo7121 womens adrenaline takes a moment longer to kick in than a man then shes got a burst of speed for a minute. It's science
@@pianissimo7121 unbelievable shees not even out of breath unbelievable
She got me crying all the way
Why would you cry?
The absence of music and dramatization makes this so much more powerful. Thank you!
Oh my god dear Heather Dorniden you made my heart explode with joy, bless you!!
This is what heroism and humility look like, no mocking, no celebration, no "showboating". It reminds me of an old saying "It's better to be a warrior in a garden than to be a gardener in a war." This woman should be held up as a role model for all of us.
This is what getting pissed and getting a shot of adrenaline look like 😂
Bad f##k'n a$$!!
I hadn't heard that saying in more than 40 years...you're on spot...although, it also depends on who that gardener is. But this race is as cool as it gets.
@@jeffreyyoungblood7438 If you were angry could you run that fast?
You just got that from Rogan 😄
I show this to ALL my physics students each year for motivation in class and with life. I actually have a hard time showing it every year because I am so touched by this performance. I agree... tear inducing when you frame this performance to the broader lens of life in general.
Run against losers and you will easily win, even if you f up.
physics has no inspiration to offer? No offense but when I was in school I needed a reason to be there.
Teachers like you change the world!
Thank you!
@@viasevenvai
That's what she is doing.
Giving her kids THE reason.
This has always been, and will continue to be, my favorite video on RUclips. Just to add something that isn't mentioned much in all of these awesome comments. .She didn't just fall, get up, come back and win. She fell AT THE START OF THE FINAL LAP, got up, came back and won, making it even more unbelievable.
how there are better motivational vids
Thanks so much for posting this high quality video. I don't recall having seen it! The race is still going viral over 14 years later, but usually without acknowledging the amazing athlete's name. Now I can re-post and give credit where it's due: Heather Dorniden is inspirational.
"She's moving like a tremendous machine."
Nice call out❤
It's the announcer's excitement for me. Perfectly encapsulates how I was feeling watching this
"This is basically a sprint."
"This is an extended 400"
I understand...and I accept.
Love how shes not even out of breath like her teammate after that power sprint, I bet she got some adrenaline after the fall and felt like she was flying.
and the greatest thing about this astonishing performance is the look on her face right after shes come back and won it. 1:41. as if shes saying "knock me down and I'll still win. no big deal..."
I will never get tired of watching this. One of the greatest comebacks of all time!
Sometimes I wonder if people like her did not fall, if they used the energy to completely pull away to begin with, that they would make unbeatable records.
How do you go from a 7 second deficit to winning?
Inspirational!
She had help from the other girls not performing well at all.
The few that do that are the ones that put up the records we see now.
I always think she would not have won without falling. This is what truly inspires me.
@@AdaephonableIf this were true, we would see a large gap before she followed down.
This was used today as a visual representation in our Sunday Sermon “even though she fell, she accelerated and WON the race” to God be the Glory! I love this so much
She ran onto her pretty little face and won. She beat the odds like I’ve never seen before. 😮
“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” Thomas A. Edison
Ummm, no its let go and proceeding further.
Doing the samething over and over is a one way expecting different results leads to failure.
Tomas edison stole most of his ideas so gtfo.
This is probably his most poignant quote
Thanks, Dan. Well spoken.
Moved to tears. This warrior’s spirit was never broken. That fall was like Ms pac-Man chopping a power pellet. This is one of my favorite races.
it shows true grit that nothing will keep her down and she wasn't going to stop until she actually finished, then she grew wings I swear and blew past everyone, a real champ
Damn, I felt the energy of the crowd through my screen !!
This is not because of her skills, practice and efforts..... It is her precious will to fight back...
and also the combination of skills, practice and efforts
@@kjdnyhmghfvb NO THAT IS COMPLETE NONSENSE!!! It's the power of friendship and anime
dumbass comment
Nah it's coz of everything combined dummy 🙄
She didn't know that she couldn't win.
I bet she was raging inside about it, I think that's what gave her that extra determination to pull it back.
When you are extremely competitive and everything is on the line like that it’s like “*I can’t lose now*” and you get this crazy burst of adrenaline. It’s super amazing to feel your muscles work at 200% and get bursts of speed.
One of the greatest acts of athleticism I've ever witnessed.
I have to tell you girl you have the heart of the champion you deserve everything you get great run
One of the most classic videos on youtube.
So if she can run that hard to catch up after falling... it means that she can push herself much harder and farther than she was currently giving..
Thanks for the HD. She really is one of the best athletes I've seen. Fucking wild.
I get all the feels every time I watch this video and then the video in which Heather talks about what happen. Heather performance is why I love sports.
Magnificent !! Heather was so composed , especially after she crossed the line. Music is perfect, too !
Uau! Incrível!👏👏👏👏👏
Fine example of 'never give up attitude'. Very inspiring and emotional. The feeling that you get by succeeding after crossing an extreme obstruction with determination is amazing.
Imagine if she had not fallen. Irony is had she not trip she would have still won but not doing last lap as she did had she not fallen...
Amazing...
That's Why They Say Never Give Up, Never Quit
Thanks for sharing in higher definition...
Absolutely Amazing. Reminded me to get back up right now and keep fighting.
Back when trans-woman did not compete with women in a sport event.
Incrível!❤👏👏👏👏👏
Eric Liddell did this back in the 1920s--then later won gold at the Olympics in Paris in '24.
Under the circumstances this was the greatest running comeback I've ever seen 🙆🏻♂️
Just came from the clip of the fall.. this gave me chills watching!!
Great job ladies!!
She wasn’t even breathing heavy or anything!!
Amazing!!
Just goes to show ya when ya want it, sometimes ya gotta get up and take it!!
I always think she would not have won without falling. This is what truly inspires me.
Wasn’t even winded or anything at the end!! Amazing!!
I gotta quit smoking, and go for a walk!!
Шабарин сергей Заслуженный тренир,уважение личное ждём в Республике Мордовии Вас !!!!
What about the runner that "caused" her accident?She arrived last!
Amazing. A highlight for the history books.
That adrenaline like "Oh no, you didn't"
HOLY CHARIOTS OF FIRE!! This reminds me of that, where Eric Liddel fell in a race, yet came back to win, real story.
This gives me so much motivation. I wasn't gonna get up and make a sandwich, but I think I will.
I still haven't gotten up 😂
*_It ain't over until it's over._* 🏃♀🏃♀🏃♀🏃♀ 🏆
Simply inspirational she is 💪❤️ 🏃🏻♀️ Heather
Makes me want to cry every time, even though I've seen it a hundred times!
No complaints, just raw determination. She is my hero
How To Be An Imperfectionist by Stephen Guise sent me here. ☺️
Amazing!!! Unbelievable!!! Power!!! Beautiful Miss Dorninden!!! Love!!! Show!!!
weird that the runner who tripped her didn't even come appologize..
Chariots of Fire moment. Unbelievable. I teared up watching this.
Yes. Chariots Of Fire. Wonderful movie.
Amazing race by Heather.
Bad ass move right there.
When I fall down in my life - I rise up here.
If this was an anime, she would have deserve atleast 10 episode of her flashback when she tripped❤.
Now that's Really inspiring tbh. She lost all her lead but continued the race and won🎉
Can you imagine BEING THERE?
Can you imagine SEEING THAT HAPPEN?
I am sitting here in my living room, watching it on RUclips....and I am screaming/cheering.
Imagine if you were there!!!
I seriously don't think I would believe my eyes.
I'd be like...What just happened?
I was sitting there like “ahhhh go bish go..woooooh!!”.. 🤣
I watch this video whenever I need inspiration.
It looks like they're hardly pumping their legs compared to male runners, looks really slow.
....Y recuerda, caer es levantarse... así te pisoteen la jeta jajajaja.
It would have been funny if after Dorniden got up and passed Fawn Dorr, if Dorr tripped Dorniden again.
I wonder if falling like that can give you a boost of endorphins or something. If she could do this after falling than she should have won the race comfortably if she didn't fall.
Don't @ me but the 600 and the 1000 are the two worst races hands down. And this is coming from a distance runner.
DONT LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS
Watch at 0.25 speed. Her left leg hits the other racers hamstring, which sends her foot into the back of her right knee. The other racer didn't clip her shoe.
A lot of people would just stay down and whine and complain, but this was really cool!
NÃO SOU PERITO E NEM UM ESTUDIOSO NA ÁREA DE ESPORTES. MAS NÃO ESTRANHO O FATO DELA TER GANHADO. NO CASO DELA O TOMBO A AJUDOU POR CAUSA DA PARADA COM O TOMBO. ALGUNS VÃO ATÉ ACHAR QUE NADA A VER ETC E TAL. MAS NESSE CASO ELA TEVE UMA PEQUENÍSSIMA VANTAGEM.
The second she hit the ground she got a big adrenaline rush so basically she had an unfair advantage
Moral of the story: THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN LIFT YOU UP IS YOU"
Remarkable to have fallen then against the odds jump up and just run for it! This girl has courage, guts and grit! Great race 😅!!! Yes!
