Mitchell Finishes Race With Broken Leg

Twenty-five year old sprinter, Manteo Mitchell, was one of four running in a US team which set a new record for relay, yet he is the one getting the most notice.

Mitchell had the first leg of the 4x400 relay.

Halfway through it he felt a pop, and knew it was bad news.

Facing the decision of quitting, and losing the race for his team, or continuing on; Manteo chose to keep running.

He finished his part, and then limped to the sidelines.

A few hours later it was confirmed that he had run the last two hundred meters with a broken left fibula.

His Olympics are over, but he clearly showed great team spirit, and will now be an inspiration to many.
