It's 26.2 miles, not 26.1

How about Dave fucking Wottle in the 800m at the 1972 Olympics? I know it's not really distance, but I love watching this race.

Sorry for the shitty channel.

My favorite never give up race Drama starts at 3.06

That was ... beautiful. Reminded me of this.

Pretty sure they finished in lane 3 if I’m not mistaken, which means the guy in red was just moving out to get in his way. I hate runners that do this.

It looks like he pretended to give it his all, so he could give even more again.

In case anyone was curious about the three runners.
