Runner falls AND still wins #shorts

In 2008, the Big Ten Indoor Track Championship saw an extraordinary display of resilience and determination from Heather Dorniden as she was tripped mid race but cam back to win.

She's so cute saying "Yeah! Watch out for me!!" as if she's never thought about being watched out for before.😂

She seems like a sweet person...combined with the heart of a competitor.

She wasn’t even winded at the finish. She was clearly levels above her competition. Incredible heart and will.

That announcer gave her a little extra confidence too, what a great display of courage to not give up !👏

[junedunne]

Adrenalin, ability and confidence but most importantly her motivation was to help her team. ❤

[MsDimps]

That feeling of pride in someone you don’t even know 🥰

[joshuasadler]

She seems like the sweetest most genuine person who obviously has a heart of fire!

She is a true champion. She never gave up. She got up from the fall and continued even thinking that it was going to be hard. She ran well and overtook all who were in front of her. Like she said look out for her. Congratulations on a great win.

That's a real athlete...
Never give up

[tehmann]

So nice to hear what she was thinking. She was first thinking for the team, then maybe catch one... then after being inspired by announcer gave an extra push. Such a lovely way she was thinking after falling.

I have seen this clip many times, it's awesome to see the lady speak about it. That was truly phenomenal

This moment is the epitome of life. You will stumble, and you will fall, but that doesn't mean you still can't win or succeed. You have to get up and never give up.

God bless this young lady I love her never give up attitude

[pinkieclark]

Inspirational. Even if you fall, get up and give it your all.

[georgefitter]

What a great example she is to all who stumble on their way to a goal. Never give up but try harder. Perseverance!
