Perseverance in the face of failure

A video that illustrates perseverance to the extreme and in the face of failure. Derek Redmond, pulls up in the finals of the 400m race, at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic games. Redmond ended up tearing his hamstring shortly after the race started. He was on the worlds biggest stage though and was determined to finish the race. A helping hand from his Father is all he needed to finish. He didn't end up with a medal, but he did end up with the largest ovation of those Olympics and a legacy of ultimate perseverance.
