Athlete crawls to finish line.

They say never give up. Well, Hyvon Ngetic is definitely a believer of that saying. See full story after the cut
This has to be one of the most inspiring stories i've come across in a while. While in competition in Sunday's Austin Marathon in Texas, Hyvon Ngetic collapsed 400 meters from the finish line. She was in the lead for most of the race and then suddenly 400 meters away from victory  her body failed her. Her mind however did no such thing. This strong Kenyan woman crawled her way to the finish line winning the hearts of many in the process although ultimately losing the race.She however was able to finish in third place. Jon Conley a director of the Austin Marathon said 'You ran the bravest race and crawled the bravest crawl i have ever seen in my life' He adjusted her prize money to a second place finish.
Africans in particular need to take a page from this brave woman's book. We all have this die hard attitude in us. Let's try and emulate her by carrying on this mentality to those aspects of our life that matter. We will definitely end up as winners for it
