Japanese marathon runner Rei Iida showed incredible determination by crawling the final 300 meters after breaking her leg near the finish line, all to make sure her team could still compete.

The music totally ruins it would be so much better with original audio.

Crawling on asphalt fucking sucks, too. She’s a warrior

I wish I had a fraction of that determination

at least someone ended up following her to make sure she was okay (relatively speaking). goodness.

Human beings have an amazing ability to push beyond our limits when it really matters.

I mean I understand sorta but isn’t that just making stuff worse for her? I wouldn’t want my team to not compete because of me but I also wouldn’t want my broken leg to get even worse conditions

That’s awful. You train so long to go there and represent your country, and something like that happens to you. Hope she recovers quickly so she can keep competing.

Turns out she tripped, fell and fractured it. This happened in 2018.

When you can’t run, you crawl…

Not a marathon.
This is a relay.
Her team needs her to cross the line. She’s not thinking of herself.
So despite her coach trying to communicate to stop, she’s not getting that message – only how many more metres to the hand off so she doesn’t let her teammates down.

I’m sorry, but this is just is so wrong on so many levels. Don’t care if you’re in a competition. No one should ever feel the need to push themselves on a broken leg.

300 meters is so fucking far, that’s like 5-10 minutes of crawling

No retreat, no surrender.
This is wild.
Damn, I’m in tears….
