Jim Redmond, Father From Famed 1992 Olympics Moment, Dead At 81

Derek, while plainly too hurt to run, started hobbling to the goal — and, after a couple of painful minutes, Jim boiled down from his seat in the stands, brushed aside security personnel and ran onto the track to assist him end up the race.

Jim held Derek’s left hand as the track star made his method to the end — and the 2 shared a psychological brace, with Derek resisting tears as his dad hugged him.

“He tried to talk me out of it at first,” Derek informed the outlet. “He was telling me that I had nothing to prove and that I didn’t need to do this, but I told him I was going to finish.”

“Then he said that we would do it together.”
