Outlook: After the Race is Over

BBC World Service - Outlook, Outlook: After the Race is Over

When the finish line is just the beginning, two stories that will stop you in your tracks

An athlete leading an Olympic Games final and an extreme runner in the middle of the Gobi desert. Two massive races but it's after they're over that things get really interesting.

American athlete Suzy Favor Hamilton was tipped for gold at the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000, but she crashed out of her race, and normal life, in spectacular style. 

Australian extreme runner Dion Leonard survived a gruelling ultra-marathon in China. But a brown-eyed mutt he met along the way presented an unexpected challenge.
