📺 信じられないほどの #Paris2024 アクションをすべて追体験 ➡️ https://go.olympics.com/watch 1972 年のミュンヘンオリンピック 800 メートルレースを私たちと一緒に追体験し、オリンピックの金メダルに導いたデビッド ウォトルの素晴らしい精神を思い出しましょう。膝の腱炎により、1972 年のミュンヘンオリンピックまでの数週間、デビッド ワトルのトレーニングが妨げられました。 800メートル決勝での彼のスタートはかなり遅かった。最初の200メートルはワトルにとって状況は絶望的に見えた。しかしワトルは諦めず、選手の先頭集団に戻るまで奮闘し、最終的にトラックの残り数メートルで800メートルの金メダルを獲得した。 「人々は私のレースのことを忘れてしまうだろうと思っていました。(…) オリンピックからもう50年近く経ちますが、オリンピックのことは今でも話題になっています。」とワトルは言う。そしてそれは本当です。オリンピックの金メダルを賭けたワトルの戦いは、すべての人へのメッセージとして記憶されています。「たとえ状況が絶望的に見えても、決して諦めないでください!」 ______________________________________________________ 🇨🇳 #北京2022 リプレイ: https://oly.ch/B22Replays 🇯🇵 #東京2020 リプレイ: https://oly.ch/T20Replays 🗞️ オリンピック界からのニュース: https://oly.ch/News

An excellent example of sportsmanship ❤
It is incredibly difficult to accept a place in the back and continue to run at your pace when it appears the gap may be getting too large to overcome. Dave ran a perfect race and only led the race for one stride. Very disciplined run and one not many are capable of. The desire to stay near the front is overwhelming especially in a short race. You will be hard pressed to find many high level 800 meter runs where such a substantial lead is overcome.
I watched this race live on TV while it happened. What made it so exciting is that the semi-final race followed the exact same pattern as this one — Wottle was way behind early in the race and stormed all the way back to win. So to watch him do this not once, but TWICE, was truly amazing!
The commentators on ABC Sports knew what was going to happen — as the runners made the final turn and headed down the home stretch, I recall they exclaimed: "Watch out!
WATCH OUT!!"
Everything about this race is iconic: Dave’s hat of course; his last-place start; his steady move towards the front; his kick; his win; his humility. Nothing to dislike and everything to respect. Well done, Dave. Thank you.
The most important thing to remember is that running is stupid
The greatest comeback in Olympic history!
That's how that tendinitis is though, tight and painful at the beginning but once it finally warms up you barely notice it.
Maravilloso ❤
And a real gentleman.
NEVER GIVE UP EVEN WHEN EVERYTHING LOOKS HOPELESS TO YOU.
He get pace himself like no other and had a kick like a mile at the end.
Thank you Dave. One of my greatest sports memories.
Most analyze this race wrong, even though the answer is pretty well known. Dave's laps were incredibly consistent. He didn't start out slow. He didn't sprint from behind (though of course it looks like he did). He simply ran HIS race and everyone came back to him.
Why is he wearing a hat?
I wonder if the cap’s aerodynamics slowed him down any
Art of war 101. Let your enemy think they are winning.
Once a champion always a champion 🏆
Ive watched this many times and am inspired every time i see it.
*nice!!..💙🌏✌️😇.
Any sport enthusiast from the baby boomer era recognizes Dave Wottle’s name!!! There are a handful of famous distance runners whose names are instantly recognizable. Another is Billy Mills!
"I was an underdog my whole career — but something inside me told me that I can hold my own with these guys."
NEVER GIVE UP BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!!!
Bro was wearing a cap during an Olympic race😅😅😅 nice job on pacing💪🏼💪🏼😊
Why wear a cap? Wouldn't that give unnecessary wind resistance, however little it may be?
He wore a hat 😂 what a boss
True Champion!
Having the heart of a lion is a big advantage in anything.
Playing this without the audio from the commentator is such a let down. It's one of the best ever. "Here come the Kenyans…AND HERE COMES WOTTLE!"
Wottle. Thinking it was Wittle till I saw it at the end. Yup. I saw this. I remember it. Amazing.
