Jim Redmond, who helped his injured son Derek finish the 1992 Olympics 400 metres semifinal — in what was one of sport's most memorable moments, has died aged 81.
Former British athlete Derek Redmond's father Jim, who helped his injured son finish the 1992 Olympics 400 metres semi-final in what was one of sport's most memorable moments, has died aged 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.

At the same moment, inside the Olympic stadium, the equestrian dressage was taking place as planned – it was only the following day that the Games were suspended for 24 hours in tribute to the victims.
