Available for over a year

The image of British athlete Derek Redmond clutching his dad as he limped across the finish line during the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, went down in history. Despite tearing his hamstring, Derek was determined to finish the race, no matter how much pain he was in. His dad beat his way through the crowd to help him. The scene was voted one of the most inspirational Olympic moments. Derek tells Jo why he had to keep going that day.
