This 8-and-under athlete mistook the 600m mark for the 800m finish line and stopped mid-race, but still bounced back to win this chaotic 800m heat at the AAU Junior Olympics 2023.

I participated in the 400m in middle school. I was unfit and didn't know how long 400m was, but not enough people were signing up so I thought I'd fill the slot. Race day, I started off fine then quickly fell behind after 10 seconds. As the other kids were passing the finish line, I was still on the other side of the track, half a lap behind. As I approached the line, everyone started cheered my name. I may have lost the race by a huge margin, but I gained an unforgettable memory.

@Webberjo When I was in high school we literally had a guy do the same thing. When he started running he ran like he was running the 100m. The other students on our team were flabbergasted. Like what is he doing!?!? He came in last and my coach said you started a little fast. 🤭 He was exhausted and could barely speak but, acknowledged that he should have started slower. I ran the 4x4 and several other races. I wasn’t fast enough to run the individual 400m but I was fast enough to be one of the relay legs. Track was brutal. I preferred cross country because I got to run through the woods. 🙂

Their angle of attack was always a bit shallow due to the high take off weight. They would fly the Lima, Peru to Shannon, Ireland route non stop about 12 hours flight. They were the Russian copy of the British Vickers VC 10, another beautiful and ultra quiet aircraft.
