Watching her dig deep like this gave me chills. I know what it means to have to pick yourself up and then give it all you got because your falling put you behind.
That’s hands down one of the most incredible moments I ever seen. This was an inspirational moment and shows the strength of the human spirit. What a beautiful thing to witness. Good for her.
I remember when we were racing 400m and my shoe came off. I tied my shoe and saw all my competitors were about 350m away. I heard a voice saying 'Run'.... I stood up and ran I chased the pack like Heather and what would you know I came in as last place.
Damn, I could see how she would be a cross country coach. I do cross country, and having to do a huge boost at the end is really important, especially since it’s where adrenaline is really starting to kick in.
Wish life was against her opponents... could chill and hang back and still win lol Should've been leading the whole way... but since it wasn't competitive she could comeback from 100m in less than a lap
This contrasts with other people I know who fell and quit or gave up after their teammate passed them. They couldn't emotionally handle not being first on the team so they'd quit the race and cost the team points.
The human body is incredible. She must've tapped into her adrenaline supply or went into some mindset the other runners couldn't even imagine. Same athletes doing the same race, completely different mentalities. Instead of thinking about the cramps, blisters, what place she was in, she got up and went. That's greatness right there.
@Gummy but I do tho lol. I’m in high school and I run xc and track, and I swim for the winter season. I was just commenting how an adrenaline rush at the end of a race is better than in the middle of say a 1600(my best event) because that sort of effect wears off before you reach the end of the race. I wasn’t trying to take anything away from how difficult that comeback was. I personally think that the 600/800m are some of the most painful races, which is why I like longer distances better
Rage always does the trick for me. I could totally see a person tripped up then get bk up and say "hell...NAWWWW!" kinda like that this is Sparta moment 🙂
Now that reminds me of that one Anime protagonist who also happened to be an athlete runner and literally slammed into the ground during a run. ( Full dive: Kiwame Quest MC ) That accident was the start of the most glorious of victories though. Lol.
*Inner dialogue starts playing for 10 minutes* " Is that what we trained for, is that what we suffered for. Remember all the nakama that help me come this far. i i i... i CAN'T give up NOW! We have come to far to give up. Like sensei said I have to go beyond my limits and be better than I was before." aaaaAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
@Haze by the time the memory montage fades and she’s ready to chase them down, everyone’s gone and the lights are turned out. “Wait where’d everyone go?” the janitor cleaning nearby goes “You’ve been staring blankly off into the distance for the last half hour. Everyone’s gone home”
@Me Da Bosss it releases adrenaline though. She basically got a dose of natural doping and a little break for her legs, nothing spectacular, just how our bodies work
what nobody realizes here is that while down, it gave her body crucial rest and recharge time and that's why so she was so full of energy while others were completely exhausted and gassed out by then.
The trip was a misfortune she turned into an opportunity. She used it to score an extraordinary victory no one would ever forget. Had she not been tripped, most of the audience would have forgotten her win before they got home that night. Even the other runners might have forgotten that she beat them in a year or so. The trip turned her win into something outstanding and a testament to the human spirit.
Watching 3 girls not take a race srsly is inspiring? In no way would she possibly be able to catch up to girls way in front unless the 3 girls just werent pushing themselves.
@TheAcidicMolotov are you high ? It'll be safe to assume that you are not an athlete. And plus it was a lap so yeah im pretty sure yk what that means.
@Kevi Constant done track my whole life, when you are behind 150 meters and somehow manage to beat 3 girls, where the farthest girl is at least 250 ahead there is no way you are catching up unless the other girls purposely didnt push themselves
@TheAcidicMolotov Lemme ask you then , why leave your toxic comment on a video that people find it inspiring?! Don't let your ego ruin you buddy. Keep the hate to yourself
@Kevi Constant who said im hating or have ego lmao. Im just clearly pointing out this whole situation is not right. In no way have i said anything hateful or egotistical 😂. I thought i clearly didnt know track tho? Dont just say things if you dont know
@RoboVac she just won this race from being knocked down and put out of the race. But with your comment, I fully understand your train of thought and I won't waste any more of my time trying to make you understand what this means.
She should also get MVP of the year. Instead of being a poor sportsman and lay there defeated she got right back up and gave it her all. Such a great role model and perfect example for “never give up!”
@RAPchicago1 Mary also was injured which is a big difference between just falling! I'd like to see you run after pulling a muscle or injuring your leg
Being tripped by someone else is not _her_ failure. Even if she hadn't done this amazing thing and lost, it still wouldn't be "accepting an excuse for her failure".
the way everyone was cheering for her watching her close that space :') they were so excited. we love seeing people work hard and get stuff done. humans can be so cool
Yeah until there team win or lose in a futbol match aka America soccer ⚽️ ever see the pregame fights or after riots? Ppl for most part are cows need group encouragement.
That was nothing short of f****** incredible! I have to go to the dentist now to get my jaw reconnected. My name is Heather also, so it makes me even happier that she did our name proud...
Same and I am not pregnant. I believe it's only natural. We see more than just a girl winning a race but see her get up and fight even it seemed too late. And in every aspect that is truly beautiful and profound.
Look up John Landy in the Melbourne 1956 Olympics. John Landy stopped to help Ron Clark (a competitor) up after he tripped then he went on to win the race.
so being tripped in the middle of a race is not an excuse for not getting first? out of all the reactions you can have to this that's what you get out of it...
Watching her dig deep like this gave me chills.
I know what it means to have to pick yourself up and then give it all you got because your falling put you behind.
Biggg chills haha
Adrenaline.
I STILL HAVE CHILLS
America
For her, those seconds felt probably like hours. The adrenaline rush she felt was genuine.
I think that for her this few seconds were probably just enough time for her body to rest enough and regain enough energy to outrun her opponents
I see you almost everywhere. Are you a commenter by any chance?
This is a cool way to trick people youre verified!
What's the name of background music?
@Rupjit Debnath um idk what's this song skibidi bop bop thatda booom
Sometimes… when you think your at your lowest moment, it enables you to become a legend. If she didn’t fall, she might have lost.
I will fall on purpose
@Sedafoxx lol he didnt mean it like that, he said it like even when you are at your hardest moments never give up
She didn’t fall to be clear, she was obviously tripped up!
That’s hands down one of the most incredible moments I ever seen. This was an inspirational moment and shows the strength of the human spirit. What a beautiful thing to witness. Good for her.
This is a true warrior.
You can't help but root for someone who won't quit. She is a champ.
I’m confused 😅if the other girl tripped her isn’t there like a foul or red card or sum shi
I remember when we were racing 400m and my shoe came off. I tied my shoe and saw all my competitors were about 350m away. I heard a voice saying 'Run'.... I stood up and ran I chased the pack like Heather and what would you know I came in as last place.
shes white
@bam im Green 😅, which one are you?? 🤔😋
@bam What???!!!!!!
Never heard and seen her. And watching her is such an amazing & inspiring experience. What we learn is never give up!!!
These are the moments in humanity that give you goose bumps.
That was one of the most incredible things I've ever witnessed. What a moment
its a beautiful moment! proud of her
And the one that tripped her and did NOT HELP her fell behind to last place
It truly is!
Good girl🤗❤️😊
This is the most amazing feat I've seen in a long time.
Gosh… I have literally got goosebumps! 🤯 She is phenomenal ❤
That fucking adrenaline, that determination, the anger she must've felt. She used that. I love to see it.
@Monika Bagdi?
🎯
@Monika Bagdi huh
She was like “ no you don’t !” Inspiring. Used that revenge
Haaa! I would love to feel the adrenaline rush she felt when she stood back up 😍😍
That brought tears to my eyes you go girl God be with you
I am in awe of the unbreakable focus and willpower people like her are capable of displaying.
The look on her face after crossing the line, she used absolutely everything she had she couldn't even smile! What a legend!
shes white
@bam what was your first clue? 🤦♂️👎
@bam omg we didn't even notice , thanks for telling us ig
@Anvisha 。 youre welcome
Amazing! She's a real warrior in heart and mind. 👏
Why this made me go in tears yoooo i love talent and passion for something you love to do 🙌🏾😍😍😍😍
She was my cross country coach in high school! She’s amazing
You are truly blessed. That woman has the definition of the heart of a CHAMPION.
wow cool
Damn, I could see how she would be a cross country coach. I do cross country, and having to do a huge boost at the end is really important, especially since it’s where adrenaline is really starting to kick in.
What that must be cool
No. Freaking. Way.
YOU ARE SOOO LUCKYYY
Wow, sheer courage and determination to show the world she’s a winner.
Mentally strong..no complaining..just get it done. Parents and coaches must be proud. Congrats, Heather.
“Heather got up.” That right there is the attitude that defines a winner. Respect 👊🏽
Wish life was against her opponents... could chill and hang back and still win lol
Should've been leading the whole way... but since it wasn't competitive she could comeback from 100m in less than a lap
This contrasts with other people I know who fell and quit or gave up after their teammate passed them. They couldn't emotionally handle not being first on the team so they'd quit the race and cost the team points.
Then I really lost it when I read the title: "Never lose hope" 🥹💕
Respect 🤖
Pure greatness! I literally have a tear in my eye!
That's purity of heart and superior determination!! What a pleasure to watch. It's impossible not to be happy for her. 😃
The human body is incredible. She must've tapped into her adrenaline supply or went into some mindset the other runners couldn't even imagine. Same athletes doing the same race, completely different mentalities.
Instead of thinking about the cramps, blisters, what place she was in, she got up and went. That's greatness right there.
Oh yeah adrenaline definitely assisted that, and since it was the last lap it’s not like she would wear herself out or anything
@AirOkeys ._. You have no idea how much the last lap of any race hurts 😅
@Gummy but I do tho lol. I’m in high school and I run xc and track, and I swim for the winter season. I was just commenting how an adrenaline rush at the end of a race is better than in the middle of say a 1600(my best event) because that sort of effect wears off before you reach the end of the race. I wasn’t trying to take anything away from how difficult that comeback was. I personally think that the 600/800m are some of the most painful races, which is why I like longer distances better
@AirOkeys ._.as a competitive swimmer - I completely agree. The last 100 meters is always the easiest . Almost like you’re in a dream state
Rage always does the trick for me. I could totally see a person tripped up then get bk up and say "hell...NAWWWW!" kinda like that this is Sparta moment 🙂
THAT is determination and perseverance. Well done.
The great Jimmy V would be so proud, don't give up, don't ever give up. The heart of a champion never quits. Period
I was ur proud 100th like
Go Pack
Slayed that comment 👏 🙌 💅💅
She has the heart of a champion. Never give up.
Amazing what the mind can make the body do . . Pure class of an athlete
Her mental strength is above all, impeccable. That is the definition of never giving up.
As i said, balls of steel ,shell be not just one to eatch ..the one to watch ..shell go gar with the eifht team behind her
this is the definition of revenge
It gave her a adreline rush like when you are in a life-threaten situation
This is fast twitch at it’s finest!
This made me tear up! Amazing lady! 👏👏👏
Girl really said "I ain't giving up this easy"
(And I respect her for that)
She really had a whole anime protagonist moment
You're right! She sure did!
Now that reminds me of that one Anime protagonist who also happened to be an athlete runner and literally slammed into the ground during a run. ( Full dive: Kiwame Quest MC ) That accident was the start of the most glorious of victories though. Lol.
*Inner dialogue starts playing for 10 minutes* " Is that what we trained for, is that what we suffered for. Remember all the nakama that help me come this far. i i i... i CAN'T give up NOW! We have come to far to give up.
Like sensei said I have to go beyond my limits and be better than I was before." aaaaAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
@Haze by the time the memory montage fades and she’s ready to chase them down, everyone’s gone and the lights are turned out.
“Wait where’d everyone go?”
the janitor cleaning nearby goes
“You’ve been staring blankly off into the distance for the last half hour. Everyone’s gone home”
weeb.
That is pure heart! Respect.
What a woman!!!! I watched this sooo many times!! Inspiration!!!!
She really showed everyone there how much better she was
I mean maybe but she also probably passed everyone cause she got a break when she was getting up so she had more energy than everyone else... 🤷
@Kllrszn and she was that break’s length behind everyone because of it as well?
@Kllrszn so why don’t they take breaks if it’s gonna make them faster?
@Kllrsznfalling takes energy she ain’t taking a nap down there
@Me Da Bosss it releases adrenaline though. She basically got a dose of natural doping and a little break for her legs, nothing spectacular, just how our bodies work
what nobody realizes here is that while down, it gave her body crucial rest and recharge time and that's why so she was so full of energy while others were completely exhausted and gassed out by then.
With Gods grace! Amen!
It's not how hard you fall but how you get back up. Inspirational.
Beautifully said
nice quote
unless u get slammed to the ground so hard you break your jaw and get knocked out
she's white
@bam ok?? Lmao and?
This shows that even if you fall down you can always get your way up, also that girl is a legend
This is so remarkable,got so emotional watching this,I loved the fact that she didn't give up,her aim was to win.
That trip was actually a blessing in disguise. Gave her the chance to prove she’s levels above the rest. Wow.
The trip was a misfortune she turned into an opportunity. She used it to score an extraordinary victory no one would ever forget. Had she not been tripped, most of the audience would have forgotten her win before they got home that night. Even the other runners might have forgotten that she beat them in a year or so. The trip turned her win into something outstanding and a testament to the human spirit.
That trip gave her a few seconds of energy to plow through the runners on the last lap
Yes. It gave her some rest.
@Pippa Dawg you guys said the same thing in different ways
That few seconds of rest, gave her an epic recharge boost
This moment for Heather and for sports was just amazing ❤
Amazing display of heart and guts.
One of the most hardest thing to do is picking yourself up when everything looks like it's ending and hope is absent.
This is the moment...when one crosses all its limits👌❤️
That's when the KUNDALINI with Karma kicks in ladies! Yes!!🥰👋
Sympathetic Nervous System kicks in...
GOD SAID GO AND WIN MY ANGEL.
One of the easiest***
Is what I think you meant to say…
That is mind boggling determination and grit.
That's the best example of a strong will, she's fired up and take it back, amazing, love it !
She’s got the biggest heart and determination I have seen in a long time
And the strongest hear like God dang I'm out of breathe watching this
@JoJoHammi3 language
Hey I get that reference 😅
✍️🏽 That's exactly what she had Martin, “heart and determination.” ☺️🖐🏽
@Joe Hernandezthe language is english
When God is for you ITS A BEAUTIFUL THING
She's Amazing...sheer determination!!! 🎉
That was the best thing I've seen today, how inspiring
Watching 3 girls not take a race srsly is inspiring? In no way would she possibly be able to catch up to girls way in front unless the 3 girls just werent pushing themselves.
@TheAcidicMolotov are you high ?
It'll be safe to assume that you are not an athlete. And plus it was a lap so yeah im pretty sure yk what that means.
@Kevi Constant done track my whole life, when you are behind 150 meters and somehow manage to beat 3 girls, where the farthest girl is at least 250 ahead there is no way you are catching up unless the other girls purposely didnt push themselves
@TheAcidicMolotov Lemme ask you then , why leave your toxic comment on a video that people find it inspiring?!
Don't let your ego ruin you buddy.
Keep the hate to yourself
@Kevi Constant who said im hating or have ego lmao. Im just clearly pointing out this whole situation is not right. In no way have i said anything hateful or egotistical 😂. I thought i clearly didnt know track tho? Dont just say things if you dont know
The anger probably fueled her. I mean if you're angry your body would really just fire up
Fantastic! Heather is an inspiration of fortitude and determination!! 👏❤️
Gives new meaning to never give up no matter what... A true champion!
She has the heart and soul of a fighter. That's what makes the best athletes.
A
Why did she ever win that makes her one of the best?
@RoboVac she just won this race from being knocked down and put out of the race. But with your comment, I fully understand your train of thought and I won't waste any more of my time trying to make you understand what this means.
@davecpgh No, you realise what you said is nonsense. She never achieved anything in Athletics professionally. So not one of the best.
@RoboVac poor you
Now this is how you inspire people.
She finished that out of anger. Beautiful!
I don't know how anyone could watch this and not be deeply inspired. Heather earned a standing ovation for this and likely received one.
Adrenaline is one hell of a drug
❤beautiful..gave me goose bumps 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
She is incredible!
Never Give Up! What heart she has to continue the race
probably because all the other girls were going so slow they were confused thinking is this staged
Amazing. Shows what you truly love doing and dedication ❤
this is great 👍 it's How God Looks At us. "dnt give up. u can do it".
She used all her emotions; all her adrenaline; every fiber of her being to pull off a much deserved win. You, dear lady, are truly a champion.
And you my friend, you are a wholesome human being!
The mind is so powerful if we can just tap in. This moment shows what happens when you do.
The way you put it into words , good work mate
And she made it look easy
....AAAAAND THE POWER OF THE ANCIENT GODS ALL AT ONCE, CHANNELED TO THE ULTIMATE POWAAAAAAAAAAAAMOOOOOVE!!
I teared up. INSPIRING.
Some people just can't be kept down....❤
Props to her honestly, she deserved that win.
Why does this 1.1K like comment have no replies?
@Archer Games it happens sometimes lol
did she win or no?
@InfernoBaxon, she did, sorry if I wrote it in a confusing way.
Thank goodness @a_randomuser4 says she deserved that win 😂
that fall flooded her body with adrenaline and she utilized it to the fullest...i felt goosebumps
Life lesson: If you fall, get back up quickly. That fall doesn't have to be the end for you unless you decide it is.
This is VERY inspiring!!! Got chills watching this
don't give up, regardless of circumstances could be a good message
but they are random slow runner females.
I agree, I noticed it’s the sounds that’s making that happen, like nails on a chalkboard.
Me too! Chills!!
Bro it wasn’t even a full sprint
Bro wtf this the fifth time I see ur comment
Don't click her profile
Y'all regret it
Trust me
This is just so absolutely inspiring
brought a tear to my eye that was incredible
She should also get MVP of the year. Instead of being a poor sportsman and lay there defeated she got right back up and gave it her all. Such a great role model and perfect example for “never give up!”
Opposite of Mary Decker Slaney decades ago
Wdym with a poor sportsman?
That was awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
@RAPchicago1 Mary also was injured which is a big difference between just falling! I'd like to see you run after pulling a muscle or injuring your leg
Can’t really get mvp of the year for doing something cool it would have to be about speed now I don’t know how fast she was
Legend. That’s how real women do it. Don’t give up ladies on your sport. People will finally come to their senses.
Most inspirational woman of the day❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
She was not excepting an excuse for her failure. She dug deep and showed how humans have the ability to will themselves to victory.
Accepting*
Accepting*
You said it All!
I think someone tripped her
Being tripped by someone else is not _her_ failure. Even if she hadn't done this amazing thing and lost, it still wouldn't be "accepting an excuse for her failure".
Proud of her.
the way everyone was cheering for her watching her close that space :') they were so excited. we love seeing people work hard and get stuff done. humans can be so cool
Yeah until there team win or lose in a futbol match aka America soccer ⚽️ ever see the pregame fights or after riots? Ppl for most part are cows need group encouragement.
@Will Bro where’s the good vibes
Wouldn't hv said it better ❤
they were not cheering her they were wowed by her. I was doing the same watching this video.
@lola funny 🤣
What a show of genuine guts, determination and proper inner drive!
Love this short... Motivation in it's purest form
Hell yeah sister 👏👏 when you fall you come back twice as hard 💪💪💪
That’s the kind of triumph that makes you cry fr
No guys pretending to be women?
@Carol Harris huh?
@Carol Harris 😂😂
@Carol Harrisamong us reference?
That was nothing short of f****** incredible! I have to go to the dentist now to get my jaw reconnected. My name is Heather also, so it makes me even happier that she did our name proud...
The fact that she didn’t rush to get up, help her take a nice deep breather before chasing up to win! SMART AND WELL DESERVED!
I wonder if taking a break part-way through a race will now become a thing.
@Erle Bowman
Tortoise and hare
@Erle Bowman no
She probably wondered at that moment if it was worth trying to chase the pack...
@IO LEVI OIyes
She gave it her all ❤
This is inspiring.
She decided there was no point not to go all out. She didn’t need the rest of her energy. She just needed to win. That was badass.
All I can do is cheer for her! YOU GO GIRL!!!!!
Found myself cheering her on!!!❤
You ever just tear up for no apparent reason when you see something as amazing as this
Yes but I'm also pregnant so 😅
I wasn’t the only one!
Literally in tears right now 😥
@GoodPersonTestDotCom congratulations!
Same and I am not pregnant. I believe it's only natural. We see more than just a girl winning a race but see her get up and fight even it seemed too late. And in every aspect that is truly beautiful and profound.
What a woman.
👏👏👏 You go girl!
This is literally one of the most inspirational things I’ve ever seen.
Look up John Landy in the Melbourne 1956 Olympics. John Landy stopped to help Ron Clark (a competitor) up after he tripped then he went on to win the race.
You know when people make those videos with the title 'respect', THIS should have been the first clip.
Why are you using the constantly misused fad word "literally" when it's entirely unnecessary?
This taught me that no matter how hard life hits you, there’s always a squirrel eating the fridge in my cooler.
What an animal, nice job Heather!
😮😮😮😮😮 literally bringing tears!!!! So impressive and so inspiring! That’s how it is done!
It’s not what happens to a person… it’s what they do with what happens. Good for her. Determination, discipline, dedication.
And adrenaline, don't forget adrenaline
@Sasquatch yes 😂
Bro you're literally taking a famoud quote but you worded it so stupidly
"It's not about what happens, it's how you react to it that matters"
Gimme a break no way this wasn’t staged like come on it’s a 600m race 200m left no way she could catch them
That young lady has the heart of a lion, she is stunning💙👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
All heart, baby, all HEART! ❤
I got chills watching this. Moral of the story is when it appears you have no chance, try everything possible to give yourself a chance
Never give up.
That how you activate your adrenalin & give everything you got 👌
Amen❤🎉
Ya I legit got goosebumps. That was epic.
Absolutely freaking awesome!!!!
Is this one of the most amazing and inspiring displays of determination and courage or what! Never quit!
That's heart. That's taking responsibility. No excuses. Legendary.
What to not just stay on the floor
Amazonian Warrior ! That is indeed
"Heart" Spirit ! In a different league !
so being tripped in the middle of a race is not an excuse for not getting first? out of all the reactions you can have to this that's what you get out of it...
@Samuel WallerShe didn’t accept falling down as an excuse to not get up.
This young woman has an amazing constitution. 😊
God loves it when His plans come together.
❤❤❤ The most outstanding piece of determination and strength this is what I call a Hero ❤
I got tears watching this! I love how the crowd and announcers rooted for her.
me too
Me too 😢
How
I'm bawling here. I'm having troubles, and I just want to give up, but this gives me energy to go on.
She is incredible
