The 30 Most Powerful Sports Photographs Of All Time:

1. Derek Redmond And His Dad Finish An Olympic Race

Derek Redmond was a British Olympic sprinter (400 meters) in the '80s and early '90s. His career had been plagued by injuries that forced him to drop out of the 1988 Olympics just before his race. He had eight surgeries between 1988 and 1992 and by the time the Barcelona games came along he was ready to go. In the semifinals his hamstring snapped after 150 meters. A stretcher was brought out but Redmond refused it. And pulled himself up and began limping to the finish. His father ran through security to be with his son and helped him cross the finish line.

Wilson Ramos Kidnapped

The catcher for the Washington Nationals, a Venezuela citizen was kidnapped yesterday from his home in Venezuela. This is darn scary especially since this poor kid is not a US citizen. This means that he and his family have to rely solely on the fine work of Venezuelan Federal Authorities, not the FBI/US authorities. I know if I were ever kidnapped/arrested in ANY country, I'd like my chances of a good outcome better with the help of the US rather than a government run by Hugo Chavez.
