No catharsis or inspiration? 2014. Finals of 4x400m female relay for the European Women's Championship.[0] The last French runner, Floria Gueï, gets the baton passed to her in a distant 4th place, well behind the top 3 favorites for the race: Russia, Ukraine and UK. In her own 400m solo race she was eliminated in the semifinals, a titanic disappointment. And now she is so far behind in the relay race, the French TV commentators are focusing on watching the battle unfold at the front and writing her off as a lost cause. That day, she performed one of the most impressive comebacks in the history of the sport to finish in first place. I would say that there is way more catharsis and inspiration in watching someone beat their own limits and rise above the odds, than you can find in most of fiction entertainment. I certainly don't find Rocky or Die Hard to be more impressive or inspirational as this 2-minute video. [0]: https://piped.video/watch?v=zU4MXTIYPF0 https://piped.video/watch?v=zU4MXTIYPF0
