Nick Symmonds is giving it his all at the end; puffing his cheeks as he is breathing extra hard at the end. Bruce Jenner also did this at the end of his 1500meters in the Montreal Olympics.
Nick Symmonds, what a great runner!! Coming from the very back for the win! I love watching this guy's old races! He had alot of fight in him and a crazy kick!
i like how nick always follows yuriy to the front. in any of the races the 2 compete together nick always seems to wait for yuriy to go by and then he stays with him
In case you like seeing a champion rise from the rear and take first place, you will be thrilled to see this film footage of a young athlete who prequalified for the 2008 Olympics in one of the most stunning racing victories I've seen on film.
haha im a soph in hs and i run a 2:00, and when i finish im sprawled out on the ground almost throwing up. Symmonds goes out and runs a 1:45 and he is walking around with his arms in the air. Just goes to show you what kind of athletes these guys are.
The object of a rabbit is to pace the race, he doesn't enter trying to get a good time because running from the front usually will not win you a race. Not only does the rabbit set the pace for the race but he/she also breaks the wind for all of the other competitors which allows them to run a better time.
