Douger Rohmer I was gonna say! It took me 4 and a half hours to run a marathon and I didn’t have to stop for 1st aid! It is amazing how fast those elite runners are. His injured run is still faster than my slow jog lol
She said it, Mexico city is one of the highest in altitude. More altitude = less oxygen. I think it is like -25% less than in sea level for Mexico city.
Why did this video end with the line it was "one of the strangest" moments of the Olympics? What's strange about courage, determination, and proudly representing your country?
yeah found the use of words really weird. courage, determination and pushing your body to the limits even though you're absolutely toasted and clearly in pain is the pinnacle of what the Olympics are about.
He didn't stop as his quote said his country didn't send him 5,000 miles do not finish your race they sent him to finish the race I can only imagine the type of pain he was in but again he finished the race. He showed his determination and brought honor not only to his country but the Olympics
The irony is that ---> He came in last but did not finished last. His final ranking was 57th place out of 75 total participants for that race. He is the last among of 57 participants who completed the race AND.... certainly not last in final ranking when....there's 18 more behind him that went into gutter. (bowling)
Please make a Video about Sri Lankan Runner Ranatunge Karunananda who Didn't gave up ending the race in 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo even the race was finish long ago.
It was probably just a description of Mexico City. Plus the high altitude wasnt as gruelling to the higher jumpers and sprinters as it was to the marathon runners.
As a world class athlete , he was well aware of that. But had he stopped Midway we wouldve never heard about him, heck even if he won the race it wouldn't matter as much because what he did was truly inspirational .
Just for the record, most marathon runners would love to finish in 3H25...

3.25 is a respectable time for most runners without injury
"Finish ish otherwise never starshish"
Someone put that on a shirt please.
Hahahahahaa good idea, that would be sick
Лазар Антић ikr
Лазар Антић lol
🤣🤣🤣😂
Why is this so funny
He wasn't a loser.He never quit.
Never give up...never quit...for me this is Olympic spirit.
But nowadays athletes like Simone Biles are celebrated for quitting
I'm in tears, this is beautiful story about the human spirit ☺️
Finish ish start ish
Lmfaooooo I came to comment this
Whats her nationality?
She can’t say it lol
@@pejaaa_lxxvi Maybe, FINNISH?
@@pejaaa_lxxvi
or TURKISH?
“If you start doing something, finish ish (FINNISH?). Otherwise, never start ish (sTURKISH?)”
I burst into tears while watching this. The true demonstration of determination, so inspirational!
Great respect for this great runner, taking endurance and perseverance to another level. Enjoying this now 2021.
He's an absolute ambassador of 'Sportsmenship'.✌️
It is one of the strongest moments in the Olympics... definitely not strange!
True!! wish they change it as strongest instead of strangest
Lesson: always finishish what you startish
As grown as i am i couldn't control my tears😭 while watching this. This is truly inspirational...
My dad always told me this story. It's nice to see him given the credit he deserves
She can’t say it.
Or was ish just me.
Unrelated but the title immediately reminds me of Steven Bradbury's 'accidental' gold medal
seriously
Why are all strange moments related to Mexico 1968?
It's a huge coincidence to say the least.
She said it, Mexico city is one of the highest in altitude. More altitude = less oxygen. I think it is like -25% less than in sea level for Mexico city.
The captions don’t match the audio
Will Conway i think it’s just yu
What a trooper. Props to this man.
WHY IS IT PRONOUNCED AS ISH?
Akhwari:*breaks legs*
Also Akhwari: I will finish the race by bandaging it!!
I think the narrator might had struggled to get movie tickets to the movie 'IT'!!!

I wish I was born then to cheer him on!!!!
So inspiring story 😍😍😍 finished the race.
Still faster then I could run a marathon
Wow! Never thought somebody coming last would make you tearful
The irony is that ---> He came in last but did not finished last.
His final ranking was 57th place out of 75 total participants for that race. He is the last among of 57 participants who completed the race AND....
certainly not last in final ranking when....there's 18 more behind him that went into gutter. (bowling)
what determination♥️♥️
wat commitment♥️♥️
Stephen akhwari 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Literally athletes/sports is just crazy, you have to challenge yourself where you know you can make it but you still try...
I love the spirit !
When someone go beyond win and lose...This kind of stories emerges.
The subtitles don't match the audio. Like if they should be fixed.
Please make a Video about Sri Lankan Runner Ranatunge Karunananda who Didn't gave up ending the race in 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo even the race was finish long ago.
Great subtitles
4:15 finishish otherwise never startishish 😂
hope the commentator didnt get a stroke mid commentating
I’m surprised they can have this determination
such high respect 👏
2:00 Wait, how does high altitude contribute to high jumps and sprints?
It was probably just a description of Mexico City. Plus the high altitude wasnt as gruelling to the higher jumpers and sprinters as it was to the marathon runners.
Not sure how it effects sprints, but it definitely does with jumps.
Truly Inspirational
Why re upload??
3H25 in this condition???? i cant even do it in 4 H
Respect!!!
How do you avoid getting a woman pregnant?
Pull Oush.
But my mum said...whenever you start something, FINISH ISH!!
@@Kashados your mum did not know where you would apply her teaching
@@avijitmishra1936 but she right tho...
if he (our dad) not finish ish, we are not here
@@rotua98 this ish true
This story is very comparable to what happened to Petra Majdič. If you have never heard of her story look it up its incredible
4:11 his parents told him what???
tali koyu
If you start something finish ish
He was determined to do that! And he did that!
Legend
永不言弃，坚韧不拔。一个运动员是否优秀的体现。
Parents didnt tell him that, and thats for sure 😂
Lovely narration, she is charming
Don't know whether the tears are flowing because of the story or the narratorish
legend!
Kazi iendelee
Just like manteo Mitchell, he broke his leg 100m away from the finish, but he tried
Don't quit ..finish the race!
It wasnt 'strange' it was phukking heroic!!!!!
Not really sure how seeing a world class runner refusing to drop out of their race qualifies as "one of the strangest" sights, but okay...
The subtitles they are wrong!
3 hours something, im like bruh, I do 2km in 3 hours xD
Really,😁😁😁
Respect
I couldn’t even do 3:25 when I was 19!
A moment of strength, not at all strange.
Now, we no longer are witnesses of such exploits because: "CUT, COMMERCIAL BREAK"
Nice story
I thought the most famous loser was eddie the eagle
Eddie was famous, but he was just doing it for laughs. The gallantry, honor, and valor of John Stephen Akwhari far surpasses Eddie.
He wasn't a loser.hes probably a greater winner than anyone else in that race
eddie the eagle finished last , and he was a huge hero .
Just curious
Where does this accent comes from?
Roberto it's either Irish or Welsh
Ireland
welsh i guess
Pierre Coubertin Medal =)
This was reuploaded
Getting medical aid results in disqualification right? You only said it. You, the olympics.
Did he Finnish fish or starfish? Does anyone know?
I respect the fortitude but he should have stopped, could have caused himself further serious injury.
As a world class athlete , he was well aware of that. But had he stopped Midway we wouldve never heard about him, heck even if he won the race it wouldn't matter as much because what he did was truly inspirational .
TheBest!
I'm sorry but I can't catch what the narrator saying.. :(
Marathon!
great olympic moment, just in Mexico.
This is late but stop making fun of her accent
Someone should show this video to Simone Biles. He represented his team better by finishing last than she did finishing in second place.
YESS
WHY CANT SHE SAY IT
Irish accent bro
Woods
Finish ishhhh Startishhhh
Annie Atleet
People thinking she can't speak it, just listen she has said it a lot of places. She was trying to mock the accent of his country. Such a pity.
U mean STRONGEST
startish
She pronounced the 'ate' and 'it' as 'ashe' and 'ish'. What MTI is that ?
The Finnish ish finishing the race
Nice story bad narrator.
Waw
There was John then who was a true athlete and there is Simone Biles now who is celebrated from quitting, look how far we have come 😣
Give moi a prize
Never give up...never quit...for me this is Olympic spirit.
But nowadays athletes like Simone Biles are celebrated for quitting
She can't say "it" properly
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
mmmm yeeeeeeeeee
