Derek Redmond’s Father Acted the hero While His Hamstring Tore
Derek Redmond was contending in the semi-finals of the 1992 Olympics when a flood of shocking torment shot through his body. He understood he had torn his hamstring and battled to remain upstanding, yet he was unable to surrender. Still up in the air to complete the race, his father saw his child not halting. So he burst past security and joined Derek on the track, assisting him with finishing his lap. Derek rested on his dad’s shoulder until the end of the race, and they crossed together.
