From the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
Redmond ripped his hamstring but his dad helped him finish the race.
I flew jets, raced motorcycles, cars and boats. Flew gliders, made over 1,000 skydives. Pick something exciting (i.e. stupid…) I did it. Been on all 7 continents.
Absolute best part of my life is being a Dad and husband… nothing else I ever did even comes close.
That is a good dad.
That was kind of stupid. Wouldn’t that have made the injury worse?
Priceless display of manhood/fatherhood.
And a tremendous display of sportsmanship by Derek Redmond to finish the race.
I can hear him telling that official, “we finishing this race”
The bond of love, purpose and strength.
British raised
What’s that got to do with anything?
It means he is unabashedly proud of his son and will fight for him to fulfill his destiny as a man of character and a right proper gentleman.
I was blessed to have a great dad. May God bless all the wonderful dads out there. Yes the world needs a ton more. You young kids, step up to the plate. You will not regret your decision. Best decision of my life was to find a wonderful wife, get married and become a father to 3 beautiful daughters. You want a legacy that lives on for generations? Get married and become a dad! God Bless.
Great dad. Nowadays those ‘officials’ would tackle and detain the father for disorderly. It’s all about the State and Order in the USSA.
Not true. I’ve seen similar things recently.
The officials probably were telling him that if he is helped across the finish line, they will be forced to record that he did not complete the race. This can be very important to a spirited kid such as this.
Good stuff! Fathers love!
That’s not just a dad. That’s a real man. We need billions of men like this.
Now that is a great father!
Awesome and inspirational reminder about our humanity.
Thank you!
Broadcast in every black home in America!
This is what a “FATHER” is all about!!
Sorry I don’t see a black father, i see a dad and his son and man i think i got something in my eye.
I think it would be wonderful to broadcast this to ‘every’ home in America.
If the whole world had dads like that this would be one hell of a planet.
thx, i needed that
That video says it all right there, LOVE & FAMILY.
That was a great post. Moving.
I like how the tells the officials to get lost
Yeah….that one got me pretty good.
Missing the good ‘ol days when all lives really mattered.
He could have finished on his own, but now he can look back at that moment and have zero regrets.
Why did everyone feel the need to butt in? We’re surrounded by robots.
They were just concerned and wanted to help in any way they could.
There are a lot of good kindhearted people in this world. Most of them do seem to be conservatives.
Dads!!! Dads in homes are the antidote to the left’s poison! They can never defeat the nuclear family if we stay true to those that matter most, our wives and children! That is what a real man looks like! A father who would not be stopped coming to the aid of his child! Anyone with fertile sperm can be a father but only a real man can be a dad!
Amen!
I pinged that hammy once; not whilst at the olympics, though. Rough. Good dad: he turned it to a Memory at least.
Please decipher that comment ^^
Damaged his hamstring doing something and it’s painful. Got it? Jeesh…
I love when the left sends a bunch of trolls to CFP to write racist comments. 😂 Idiots. Anyway, this is a great feel good video. Fathers are the best.
Beautiful
THE BEST.
Awesome. Amazing. Beautiful.
Im not crying you’re crying
I was just chopping onions.
Damn Kane. Right before bed, no less, bringing a tear.
Really?
Remember when…
We watched sport….
Red and yellow, black and white
No prejudice
No agenda
No racism
No balls where they didn’t belong.
Remember?
Remember normal?
A perfect example of why people can’t stand the redneck branch of the republican party. The redneck republican loves Dave Chappelle when he tells the Clayton Biggsby joke. But gets his southern panties all up in a wad over Chapelle telling the where am I from joke.
I tear up every time I watch this.

Mike, those officials were trying to get the father off the track. They were trying to separate a man from his family when his son needed him the most. You probably don’t understand that cuz you’re not man enough.
Todd, please go back to your dorm at Berkeley and finish up your degree in trans feminism. The adults here are having a discussion.
That happened 30 years ago and I have never seen it before???
I have missed out.
Someday, I pray to be that good of a father to my three boys.
