The Olympic women's 400m final race on Monday will go down as one of the greatest races you'll ever see. In case you missed it, Shaunae Miller from The Bahamas made the dive seen around the world to edge USA's Allyson Felix and win the gold medal.
Just watch this again for how awesome this really was.
After the Bahamian "chariot of fire" beat Felix by a mere 0.07 seconds for a photo finish, Felix took to her Instagram account to give a lengthy statement about her feelings of "disappointment," but also how proud she was from the outpouring of support provided to her. After all, she's worked for four straight years to get to this point, and taking the silver is nothing to sneeze at.
You can read her inspirational statement of gratitude below, which details how she has earned the right to be on that track in Rio after overcoming the odds in her personal life:
Felix is the most decorated woman in Olympic track and field history with four gold medals and three silver. The fifth gold medal turned out to be the most elusive for her, but she this is a quintessential "moral victory," if you happen to believe in those like she does.
