So back in the summer Olympics of 1992, I was one of the greatest, I think one of the

greatest Olympic moments, one of the greatest races, maybe in the history of the Olympics,

it was the 400 meter dash and back in the day, like I was in junior high school going

as my senior year and I ran the 400 so the 400 was my race and so I was following this

even before the Olympics started because I was just all about who's going to win the

400 meter dash and one of the guys I was rooting for was my name, Derek Redmond, Derek

Redmond ran for Great Britain, I know he's English.

I don't hold anything against them, I'm not, I don't still resent the T-Tacks, I'm

past it.

And so I was cheering for Derek Redmond, I mean I remember his story, his story was he

was not only do you have incredible natural talent, obviously you have to have some natural

talent in order to get to the Olympics but just his story of being the kind of person,

maybe like all the Olympians who just used every scrap of what he was given to get to this

place and he became incredible, he was an incredible 400 meter dash racer and so you know

he got to the Olympics, he's making it through the heats and he got to the semi finals,

the race before the finals and remember I remember watching this him lining up and

starting luck with everyone else and he was in the best lane, he was in lane 4 which

is where you want to be in the 400 meter dash at the start and Gungo's off and he takes

off around the first corner, second corner, he's going down the back stretch and he's catching

up to everyone, he's making it up to stagger and just before he hit the 200 meter mark,

he pulls up really quick as something popped in the back of his right leg and he grabs

his leg and goes down to the ground, meanwhile everyone, all the other guys just blast
