NOBODY HAS A CLUE WHAT A TRACK AND FIELD ATHLETES MUST ENDURE.. VERSUS THE THE REST OF THE SPORTS...THE PRICE IS TOOOO HIGH!!!.for the EMPTY financial return...
I LOVE this video....this should be shown to every aspiring track runner. One of the most incredible running performances I have ever seen and one of my very favorite races. This gentleman was all heart and had a truly classy spirit. And to come from so far behind with all his obstacles...truly inspiring.
In high school I missed alot of meets because of tendonitis. My senior year my coach said I had a chance for a scholarship, but to get it I had to compete. He gave me Dave Wottle as an example. I competed in pain, and to my surprise I did well. Tendonitis is awful, but it can be overcome.
Dave Wottle was lucky to win really, the Russian was bumped and lost 5-6m and then sprinted to make up and then lost his finish. Very unlucky Russian 🇷🇺 and lucky American 🇺🇸
I was like 10 years old watching this. I was thinking "That guy with the hat is going to finish last." Then when I see him on that back stretch starting to move up, I started cheering for my "underdog."
Dave mi mejor atleta de todos los tiempos, me hubiese gustado conocerlo yo VI la carrera en directo y creo que yo hice atletismo por el, nunca VI a un atleta ganar una carrera como la final de 800 metros de unas olimpiadas
Back when American parents knew how to raise kids! Other mothers: I'm so proud you won a participation award! Daves Mother: Why didn't you remove your hat for the National Anthem? Todays mothers: Don't forget to kneel in protest when the American Flag is raised.
