    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!

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......

      David Howard they don’t, but it’s possible that the field mics (like the ones that pick up the sound of the gun) might have picked up the sound of it. I’ve witnessed someone tear a hamstring and it was LOUD, possible it wasn’t tho, just a thought

      @DanceySteveYNWA 3 года назад

      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.
