Dave Wottle - The Greatest Comeback In Athletics History? | Throwback Thursday

At the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, US-American track athlete Dave Wottle performed perhaps the greatest comeback in athletics history in the 800m run. After the first 400 metres, Wottle was still in last position. However, he then overtook all the other athletes in the last round and won Gold in front of Ukraine's Yevhen Arzhanov and Kenia's Mike Boit. Enjoy watching this epic comeback!
