Who would have thought that the Austrian steeplechase runner, Günther Weidlinger, would recover significantly from his horrific accident during the Osaka World Champs in 2007 - see video

To then return to the track and break the Austrian 10000m record with a time of 27:36.46 is an awesome display of resilience after such a trauma

“I was looking for something like 27:45, so this was quite a bonus tonight,” the former steeplechase standout said. “This track is so wonderful to run on. My legs don’t feel tired at all!”

Great comeback and with the Olympics beckoning hopefully more to follow
