Just to set things up, this is video taken from the Big 10 Indoor Track Championship back in 2008, and the even is the women’s 600 meter, meaning they have to run around the track three times.  Pay particular attention to what happens at the close of the second lap.

 

It also made me think of this most precious of Olympic moments. It makes me cry almost everytime, and makes me want to be that kind of father.
