Master of Ceremonies - Derek Redmond
We are delighted to announce that our MC for the evening will be Derek Redmond.
One of Britain’s most famous athletes, Derek Redmond is a World and European relay champion. Having broken the British 400m record on two occasions, Derek was one of the country’s best athletes during the 1980s and 1990s. A key member of the relay squad that won gold at the 1991 World Championships in Tokyo, he competed at the highest level for over a decade and who doesn't remember the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and that first event when Derek's hamstring popped and he couldn't get up. He couldn’t get up and sprint but he had to get up and finish. He got up and hobbled and then remember his Dad coming onto the track , through security and coming to the rescue and putting his arms around his son and virtually carrying him to the point where they walked through the finishing line arm in arm.
The passion, the pain and what it was like to witness those incredible men fight for Derek's dream to complete that race will remain a memory for many…… we can’t remember any other runners, who won the Gold Medal or anything else about those Olympics but we remember Derek Redmond and his Dad.
