I wasn't as moved by Derek Redmond's dad coming out on the track to assist him at Barcelona in 1992 (I guess because the story hadn't built up as long)as I was when Ana Fidelia Quirot raced in the 400 in Atlanta after being bedridden with third degree burns. Closest I've come to crying in a long time.
Marathoners finishing while racked with pain is inspiring, but we tend not to know them as we felt we did following Quirot's ordeal, and there isn't the element of highs and lows.
If Devers makes the 110 hurdle final in Athens, many of us will be behind her because of her battles and her "hit hurdle".
