The Story of Derek Redmond

The world today is too challenging to us. Too much tense can make our soul suffer. Sometime the life let you fly high then let you fall into the deepest side. You will suffer like live without hope. But not for people who has burning desire, fight back and bounce again. No matter how many times you fall, how many times you bend, nothing can stop you. The story of Derek Redmond was opened my eyes and sparking me. Once he decided to not gave up he was created a new hope and spread it to the world.....

Enjoy discovering The Story of Derek Redmond.




At the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, In the middle of the semi-final race the dreams of one of the sprinters – Derek Redmond for  an Olympic medal got crushed by a debilitating hamstring injury, but while most athletes would just give up and submit to defeat, bend over and cry, Derek was determined to cross the finish line, to finish what he started. So he picked himself up off the ground and started hobbling towards the finish lane. Then, just when it seems he might not be able to continue because of the pain, Redmond’s dad forces his way onto the track and puts his arm around his son, who cries on his shoulder as the two finish the race together.


For greater impact, here’s the clip of this touching moment on youtube.
