Here's one for Munin.
We didn't actually get to see it, but it's the spirit of the crowd's support that is the most touching.
you just made my day!

Posted by: munin on Agosto 16, 2004 05:54 PMMy favourite Olympic moment is still Derek Redmond at the Barcelona Games.
He was a British sprinter favoured to win the gold in the 400 meters. During the semi-final, high hamstring snapped at the 150-meter mark. He kept going, but at a hobble. His father rushed out to the track and supported him for 250 meters, and then let him cross the finish line on his own.
The stadium gave him a standing ovation the entire time.

Especially between competitors.
I think it is just the respect.
