Thanks for these. Some great moments. I had nearly forgotten the Evelyn Ashford win in Seoul. It made me so happy to see it again.

These athletes give me goose bumps! Awesome.

I love the narrations in different languages.

Ah, Miss Ashford..I remember that race; notice how she crosses the line first, kept to herself, no celebration, politely handed the baton to the official, and was nonchalant all the way through. Class. But to have a list like this and not have Dave Wottle's comeback in 800 at '72 Olympics is a travesty. The dude was last (as far back as 20 yards) from beginning until he made a move with 300 meters to go//

I've been impressed in certain sport events, And Im still rejoicing with their surprise victory , One is Billy Mills in 1964 Tokio olympics and Evelyn Ashford in 1988 Seul South Korea, They developed such power in the end that amazed many and made the crowd shake the sits at the stadium . What a joy . God bless U.S.A.

Finally, the last one is AMAZING & AWESOME wow!!!!!!

Very nice HD. Evelyn Ashford's come from behind victory in the 4x100 relay will always be my favorite.😷

@Brendan Man, lighten up a little. Michael Ai was clearly kidding. 😂

Michael Franks' marvellous comeback was the best for me. Got to see the race in full to really appreciate the effort he put in. I recall watching that live and the sheer thrill of it. He did get a little help as Innocent Edbunike (Nigeria) who was leading with just 5 metres to go turned momentarily to see Franks coming up to his shoulder. It caused him to lose a little momentum and Franks just nudged ahead.

Aufstehen und weitermachen 💪 Was für eine Leistung!

Brilliant! This is the human spirit. This is greatness.

Great comebacks but it seems the world has forgotten the Finnish athlete Lasse Virén and his race in the 1972 olympics, 10000m: He fell half way through the race, got up having lost 50 m to the leaders but still caught up with them and won - setting a new world record! Edit: corrected the spelling, tnx for pointing it out.

Evelyn Ashford! Damn!

Have to add to these the two sensational battles between Colette Besson and Lilian Board in the late sixties. Besson came from far behind to snatch a last-gasp 400m gold at the Mexico Olympics, while Board reeled in a seemingly impossible deficit to take the 4x400m title for Britain the following year at the European champs.
