I'm Lizzy and I'm a little too optimistic for my kind. You should know that I like to take walks on cold days, stare out windows, and meow occasionally.

Derek Redmond at the 1992 Olympics at Barcelona.
The heavy favorite to win the gold, at ~150 meters into a semi-final race his hamstring tore and he was forced to the ground by the sheer pain. Unwilling to leave the race unfinished and against the urges of Olympic staff members, he forced himself up and managed a limping gait towards the finish line. Derek’s father burst past security, running up beside his son, saying, “You don’t have to do this, son,” to which Derek replied, “Yes I do.” His father stated, “Then we’ll do it together.” He put his son’s arm on his shoulder, and against further urges from Olympic staff, the pair continued towards the finish line. At one point Derek bursts into tears and, seemingly, is only able to continue through his father’s support.
