Olympic torch by Peter J. Dean.
If you’re not watching the Closing Ceremony, watch this video of the 4×400 men’s relay heats. Watch the US heat about 10 minutes in. About 200 meters in, runner Manteo Mitchell breaks his leg and still finishes the race. The announcers don’t know what’s going on so they just say ‘that was a poor leg by Mitchell’. Only later was he revealed that he ran half the thing with a broken leg. Amazing.
His efforts eventually meant the US team could win a silver medal.
The Jamaican team did not qualify for the finals because Gonzales had a hamstring injury and had to stop running…
Hamstring vs Broken Fibula… both sound horrible!!!! But yeah, amazing stuff for the US team.
Jamaicans can suffer hamstring injury? But..but..
Bwah hah hah.. Loser
actually muscle tears are order of magnitude worse than broken bones for athletes. Broken bones heal completely, especially stress fractures. Muscles tears if aggravated will end your career.
