Jim Redmond, father of former British 400m runner Derek, dies at 81

Derek, who was in fine form heading into the Barcelona Games, had posted the fastest time in his heat but tore his hamstring on the back straight. But instead of seeking medical attention, he attempted to hobble to the finish line. As he rounded the curve, he was joined by his father Jim who barged past track officials and waved them away, holding his inconsolable son and crossing the line together as the fans at the stadium gave them a standing ovation. "Our thoughts are with Derek Redmond and his family following the death of his father, Jim," the Olympic Games said on Twitter on Tuesday.
