However disappointment came 250m from the finish line,he tore his hamstring and hobbled into a halt and fell into the ground in pain, when the stretcher bearers ran towards him, he knew he had to decide. So despite the pain he stood up and began to hobble along the track.Suddenly a large man pushed through the crowd, fought the security and rushed towards Derek, that man was his father. You dont have to do this he told his weeping son. I do the son declared. Well then we are going to finish this together said the father. The father wrapped his arms around his son and helped him hobble along the track. Shortly before the finish line the father let go of his son. The son finished the race to a standing ovation of 65,000 people.Derek Redmond may not have finished first but he definitely finished the race, despite the pain and tears he was determined to give it his all,,, #Moral If you dont give up, there is no way u can lose.
