Who hurt their leg running??? PLEASE ANSWER!?

Question

I was watching the track and field Olympic trials on NBC and there was a comercial for VISA and I think it said " _____ _________ didn't finish first in the 19__ race, he didn't finish second or third or fourth, _____ _________ finished dead last, but ___ ______ and his dad finished." it shows pictures of an African American man running a race and then falling and holding his leg and then him limping to the finish line with his dad. could you please tell me his name and if he actually BROKE his leg, because I thought that was really inspiring!

Thanks,

Clare

Answer 1

dunno. but if he could do that, i bet he's a really cool guy. and i bet he gets it from his dad.

Answer 2

Derek Redmond. he tore his hamstring while running the semi-finals of the men's 400m race at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic games

Answer 3

Like my track team says,"Runners just do it we run for the finish line even ir someone else has finished before you"

I guess that means finishing no matter what.
