there was this one ad with a sprinter pulling his hamstring midrun, which had this song. they offered him help, actually to carry him off the field, but he refused, and deciding instead to limp the rest of the race to finish it in last place anyway
it brought tears to my eyes everytime

LOL ya i saw that. There has been a lot of that shit going on though. Guys fight one or two rounds, get a lead and then coast. IDK how he thought he was ahead. They tell you the scores at the end of each round.

great example of what happens when a player tries to beat the scoring system instead of the sport.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

FYP, but i know what you meant and i agree completely.
Even if he was ahead by a couple points its still not enough reason to run and try to win. Fight like a man until the fight is over. Its only an 8 minute fight FFS ! ! ! !
EDIT: Why the fuck is he listening to the crowd instead of his corner. Stupid ass.

Bradbury is most well-known for his memorable and unlikely gold medal win in the men's short track 1000 metres event at the Salt Lake City 2002 Winter Olympic Games, owing to three unlikely events occurring.
In the quarter-finals, Bradbury thought himself eliminated. He finished third (only the top two advance), but Marc Gagnon was disqualified, thus allowing Bradbury to advance to the semi-finals.
In his semi-final, Bradbury was in last place, well off the pace of the medal favourites. However, three of the other competitors in the semi-final crashed into each other, paving the way for him to take second place and thus allowing him through to the final.
Again well off the pace in the final, once more all four of Bradbury's competitors (Apolo Ohno, Ahn Hyun-Soo, Li Jiajun and Mathieu Turcotte) crashed out at the final corner, leaving a shocked Bradbury to take the gold medal, the first for Australia or any southern hemisphere country in an Olympic Winter Games event. (Alisa Camplin also won gold for Australia at the same Olympics).
