- Now in HD. And still no cheesy music or titles!
The video shows Heather Dorniden falling and still winning the 600-meter race in the 2008 Big Ten Indoor Track Championships.
If she had just won, she would've been forgotten a day later. Instead she fell, got up and fought against the odds and won and now she will inspire millions forever.
So true🙌
Yep. She sure inspired me! I'm going to use this video with my students.
Why would she forget it a day later? Lol. This would've been a great accomplishment regardless of the fall.. yes the fall makes it more memorable but I don't think she'd forget the next day when you train your whole life for this
@@x.kitsune he is taking about the people the people would forget her a day or later
@@x.kitsune "she would've BEEN forgotten a day later"
It was even more amazing that everyone except her was bent over in exhaustion after the race. She stood straight up, stoic. What a beast.
Adrenaline is a hell of drug. Impressive indeed tho
To be fair, she did get an extra break in between(just kidding, she's an absolute beast no doubt)
Thank you for the "No cheesy music". It was fantastic to watch just as it is.
*She got up and decided to run even faster and take the win.* No regrets, no excuses, no second thoughts, just pure clarity, self-confidence and a winner's mindset.
And the whole world continued on as if she never existed.
@@dakotaridge literally everybody still remembers this day. It's still continuously spoken of. I don't get what you were trying to point out, but you are COMPLETELY wrong.
It's almost like it was a race or something 😂
@@dakotaridge exactly.. None of these matter more than some days
That means she was lazy before she fell
Over a decade later we are still enjoying one of the best races in history!
I just see it today for the first time
That bc it's more about the effort than the race
This is such an amazing sporting moment. I have watched it at least 25 times.
The most "sport" in it was her teammate which didn't "just let her" win but fought to the end. Actually, initially it was Dorniden's mistake during overtaking - but of course her comeback is the most unusual and inspiring aspect and the thing to learn from this race.
Why not 26
@@jootpepet That would clearly be 1 too many times
really? normal thing when u go out home when youre young...
only?
Ive used this one several times as a motivational video. Heather was all heart and determination that day. 100% Legend.
Great idea!!
I remember my pastor using this as a sermon opener.
This is emotional for me and a lifetime lesson as well. Though others may have trip you, betray you, forsake you and left you behind to die in your pain, shame and missery, know that there is more inside you to make it to the finish line as a winner. Never give up.
This video moves me to tears every time I watch it. Never, ever give up!! Ever!!!
I thought only I cried!
I literally cried for hours after watching this, even my roommates cried and now we're sat around in a circle wiping each others tears.
Me too.. found a new star
Me too. Tears. Every time !
@@dann5480 hahaha
Wow thanks for the HD clean video. It is almost beyond belief that she was on her face with one lap left and fought back to win. Just incredible.
This was used today as a visual representation in our Sunday Sermon “even though she fell, she accelerated and WON the race” to God be the Glory! I love this so much
It's the announcer's excitement for me. Perfectly encapsulates how I was feeling watching this
And she was barely winded. What a machine.
That is the power of Adrenaline.
@@Heart2HeartBooks and good lungs. Adrenaline dies out once the race is over and immediately fatigue takes its place. But she looked somewhat fine for doing such an amazing feat
well she did take a little break
@@pianissimo7121 womens adrenaline takes a moment longer to kick in than a man then shes got a burst of speed for a minute. It's science
@@pianissimo7121 unbelievable shees not even out of breath unbelievable
This gave me chills! DORNIDEN COMING DOWN THE STRETCH FROM THE OUTSIDE! DORNIDEN COMING ON STRONG! DORNIDEN FROM ALL THE WAY! DORNIDEN! YES! YES! SHE DID IT!WOW! UNBELIEVABLE!
Me too, why is that?
Specially that's a gutsy effort
This is what heroism and humility look like, no mocking, no celebration, no "showboating". It reminds me of an old saying "It's better to be a warrior in a garden than to be a gardener in a war." This woman should be held up as a role model for all of us.
This is what getting pissed and getting a shot of adrenaline look like 😂
Bad f##k'n a$$!!
I hadn't heard that saying in more than 40 years...you're on spot...although, it also depends on who that gardener is. But this race is as cool as it gets.
@@jeffreyyoungblood7438 If you were angry could you run that fast?
You just got that from Rogan 😄
The absence of music and dramatization makes this so much more powerful. Thank you!
Oh my god dear Heather Dorniden you made my heart explode with joy, bless you!!
I will never get tired of watching this. One of the greatest comebacks of all time!
Thinks: “Oh crap, now I’ve got to show everyone how fast I really am.”
Finally, a video, with phenomal quality of said race. Kudos to the uploader. Just to give a measure, of difference, up to seing this, I had the impression, the star painted on her left cheek, was a bruise caused by her fall. As for the race itslef, the achievement is, as many times mentioned, UNBELIEVABLE!
This has always been, and will continue to be, my favorite video on TH-cam. Just to add something that isn't mentioned much in all of these awesome comments. .She didn't just fall, get up, come back and win. She fell AT THE START OF THE FINAL LAP, got up, came back and won, making it even more unbelievable.
how there are better motivational vids
I’m sorry but I LOVE the fact that the girl she tripped on came in dead last. 🤷🏽♂️ Sue me 😂 and that crowd roar just makes it 10x better!
Would’ve been real hard for me not to run up and tackle her!!
Notice how she stayed way back away??
Shame she was from PSU in my hometown..
Mmm mmm!!
That was satisfying to watch!!
She got me crying all the way
Why would you cry?
Fine example of 'never give up attitude'. Very inspiring and emotional. The feeling that you get by succeeding after crossing an extreme obstruction with determination is amazing.
Moved to tears. This warrior’s spirit was never broken. That fall was like Ms pac-Man chopping a power pellet. This is one of my favorite races.
This is so applicable to anything in life really
This is the most empowering thing Iv seen in a very long time. When you fall in life, you get up and run even harder !!!! Give it all you got and you WILL make it just like Heather!
This is a true champion of champions..my 11 yr old is so inspired by this athlete...I hope this young lady continues to achieve greatness...we are her #1 fans ❤
and the greatest thing about this astonishing performance is the look on her face right after shes come back and won it. 1:41. as if shes saying "knock me down and I'll still win. no big deal..."
Just came from the clip of the fall.. this gave me chills watching!!
Great job ladies!!
She wasn’t even breathing heavy or anything!!
Amazing!!
Just goes to show ya when ya want it, sometimes ya gotta get up and take it!!
Thanks so much for posting this high quality video. I don't recall having seen it! The race is still going viral over 14 years later, but usually without acknowledging the amazing athlete's name. Now I can re-post and give credit where it's due: Heather Dorniden is inspirational.
Makes me want to cry every time, even though I've seen it a hundred times!
Love how shes not even out of breath like her teammate after that power sprint, I bet she got some adrenaline after the fall and felt like she was flying.
“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” Thomas A. Edison
Ummm, no its let go and proceeding further.
Doing the samething over and over is a one way expecting different results leads to failure.
Tomas edison stole most of his ideas so gtfo.
This is probably his most poignant quote
Thanks, Dan. Well spoken.
Damn, I felt the energy of the crowd through my screen !!
Amazing!!! Unbelievable!!! Power!!! Beautiful Miss Dorninden!!! Love!!! Show!!!
"She's moving like a tremendous machine."
Nice call out❤
I always think she would not have won without falling. This is what truly inspires me.
I have watched this back ti back and each time with goosebumps
I get all the feels every time I watch this video and then the video in which Heather talks about what happen. Heather performance is why I love sports.
Talk about perseverance, diligence, being focused, and NOT giving up no matter what!👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥
Magnificent !! Heather was so composed , especially after she crossed the line. Music is perfect, too !
income back to watch this every once in a while. great run.
I have to tell you girl you have the heart of the champion you deserve everything you get great run
Chariots of Fire moment. Unbelievable. I teared up watching this.
Yes. Chariots Of Fire. Wonderful movie.
Amazing race by Heather.
it shows true grit that nothing will keep her down and she wasn't going to stop until she actually finished, then she grew wings I swear and blew past everyone, a real champ
Can you imagine BEING THERE?
Can you imagine SEEING THAT HAPPEN?
I am sitting here in my living room, watching it on TH-cam....and I am screaming/cheering.
Imagine if you were there!!!
I seriously don't think I would believe my eyes.
I'd be like...What just happened?
I was sitting there like “ahhhh go bish go..woooooh!!”.. 🤣
She would not be denied, a true athlete.
No complaints, just raw determination. She is my hero
In that moment this young woman displayed the very best of the human race. Watch it every morning.
Heather Dorniden’s race is possibly the most prolific race of all times. Historically, it doesn’t get any more inspirational that this.
Actually, there are many races more inspirational. Check out Dave Wottle in the 1972 Olympic 800 final, or Lasse Viren falling in the 10,000m final, but winning in world record time.
These girls ran a pedestrian :32 for the last 200, so catching them wasn't that hard.
@@cryo9216 look at how cool you are.
Under the circumstances this was the greatest running comeback I've ever seen 🙆🏻♂️
I can't believe what I just saw. What an amazing athlete. I hope her future is just as amazing.
Just wow! What can someone achieve from an impossible situation if you don't give up? YOU NEVER LOSE IF YOU DON'T GIVE UP!!!!
This is so inspirational it moved me to tears.God bless you,Heather.
Simply inspirational she is 💪❤️ 🏃🏻♀️ Heather
What a superhero! She’s not human! 😮
I'm reading a book by Dr. Tony Evans titled "Kingdom Prayer", he used this as an analogy, so I stopped where I was at, and came to TH-cam to see it for myself! My Lord! ❤
YOU'RE OUR HEROINE! CONGRATULATIONS!
When she crossed the first runner after falling, cheering off the crowd is hats off. It's not over until it's over
This is incredible to watch. I'm grateful you shared this.
She would be forever remembered for that 👀💪🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾😊
I watch this video whenever I need inspiration.
Amazing. A highlight for the history books.
Eric Liddell did this back in the 1920s--then later won gold at the Olympics in Paris in '24.
Now that's Really inspiring tbh. She lost all her lead but continued the race and won🎉
Beast mode.....still love watching this.
This was a great display of grit and determination! Plus she looks absolutely lovely on the track..🥰
Absolutely Amazing. Reminded me to get back up right now and keep fighting.
Thanks for the HD. She really is one of the best athletes I've seen. Fucking wild.
HOLY CHARIOTS OF FIRE!! This reminds me of that, where Eric Liddel fell in a race, yet came back to win, real story.
one of the most inspiring video i have seen in my life.
Just came across this video the other day, shared it with my Great Niece who runs track. Thank You Heather for showing us were there's a will there's a way
"This is basically a sprint."
"This is an extended 400"
I understand...and I accept.
It literally felt like watching a movie. It is remarkable!
I like that the girl that clipped her came in last too, little cherry on top.
Definitely the best video I'll see today . Amazing 👍
thank you for contributing to the normal content that doesnt want me turn off the video
Sometimes I wonder if people like her did not fall, if they used the energy to completely pull away to begin with, that they would make unbeatable records.
How do you go from a 7 second deficit to winning?
Inspirational!
She had help from the other girls not performing well at all.
The few that do that are the ones that put up the records we see now.
I always think she would not have won without falling. This is what truly inspires me.
@@AdaephonableIf this were true, we would see a large gap before she followed down.
That is the gutsiest move ever , pure determination , most would have given up , big thumbs up Heather .
Wasn’t even winded or anything at the end!! Amazing!!
I gotta quit smoking, and go for a walk!!
That is absolutely fantastic!! I got chills
Thank you for this high quality video. Heather - thank you for your incredible motivation. Hopefully millions see this video and millions are as motivated as I am right now to get up when I fall down and to give 150%, to get up and finish the race as a winner.
Imagine if she had not fallen. Irony is had she not trip she would have still won but not doing last lap as she did had she not fallen...
Amazing...
That's Why They Say Never Give Up, Never Quit
Thanks for sharing in higher definition...
Me every 1-2 years:
**remembers this video**
*watches it*
*cries a little bit*
*goes back to my life*
here again
Iv'e watched various videos of this particular race hundreds of times, and i'll keep watching various videos of this particular race hundreds of times more until the day i die!
It brings tears to my eyes every time i see it.
Thank You God for Children.
Greatest comeback of all time 💯💯💯🔥
Thank you so much for the Hd Video quality... I was searching for it since many years.... This video always inspires
Hey, I watched because of your 'No cheesy music or titles' tag. Great video, I appreciate it.
saving this video.. when the time comes when one of my daughter's are down.. this surely will pick them back up. ❤❤❤
Uau! Incrível!👏👏👏👏👏
She's not a legend because she won. She's a legend because she fell, got up, and STILL won.
Don't give up is what i got from this, heck ya!!!!
No cheesey music! YOU!…..are my HERO! Nice to set an example. I’m subscribed right now!
My God, she’s amazing
Wonderful recovery. Inspirational.
Adrenaline is a hell of a drug! I love how even at the end, she's just standing there casually while her teammate and other competitors are practically doubling over in exhaustion. She's just all "yeah, that just happened." But man, she's going to feel it after it wears off, lol.
I'm not sure what the bigger victory here is. The actual race which was amazing, or the the battle of self doubt vs determination that had to be going on in her mind in that moment. Woman's absolutely iconic!
You Can tell something just came over her cuz she was straight up cruising bro and didn’t even look tired at the end it’s almost like that fall was just enough of a break to catch an amazing second wind
