Sadly the IAA stupidly dropped them the day before the commentary of the Nationals this year leaving 2 muppets to fill in. Shocking stuff considering these 2 were our finest
This is easily one of the best videos on UA-cam. An absolutely impossible feat of sport before our very eyes... and the best commentary the world has ever heard. Lmao 3:56
The first time the girl that eventually wins the race enters the SCREEN is at 3:38 or so, and she's around 50 meters behind with the leader only having about 200 meters left to run. I've never seen anything like this.
400m split ? Read further down Whatever you think, I still believe it is one of the most impressive comebacks ever (with Floria Guei in an other 4x400m). After spending wayyyyyy too much time watching the video dozens of times, I calculated her split time to be between 52"5 and 54". I don't know how old she was at the time but since then, she got the 100 m and 200 m Irish records and she has also run the 400m in around 52s. As far as I know, she's on her way to the Olympics next summer (while studying/working as a nurse), so kudos to you Phil !!!
I love that commentary of "Coming from the depths of Hell". That was a very vivid description of just how much distance she had to make-up. This young lady really overcame some serious distance to obtain this team win. She believed in herself and never quit and that faith had her standing on the winner's podium. There is a movie in this story.
Phil Healy is the Irish nurse/students name. the footage has become the most watched athletic clip in recent days and someone needs to get this women in front of the camera so we can all see her again and find out what her reaction was to the clip going viral. Come on Irish News. This is one Irish girl to be proud of
University College Cork nursing student Phil Healy, quoted in the Irish Examiner: "It was crazy because we didn’t expect to win and I only decided to run 20 minutes before the event. I had ran (sic) in the 100 and 200 metres and one of the girls just asked would I fill in on the last leg and I said 'throw me in and I’ll see what I can do'".
@@raygordonteacheschess5501 Yep, she ran for Ireland in the 3,000 metres steeplechase at the Summer Olympics in Rio in 2016 finishing 11th in her heat.
Cathal Dennehy (depths of hell guy) was on the Dan Patrick show this morning talking about the race/call. Epic radio. He tells Dan, ya we pretty much lost our minds, our composure, our professionalism.. Definitely worth a listen.
Absolutely loved this. The race was crazy considering I like the callers had picked different place getters though me more so on each lap. But the purity of the commentary, excited, enthused, REAL.... that was sport at its finest moment. Just unbridled passion.... oh and to top it off, the accents.... love the Irish... best wishes from New Zealand.
That’s my coach (the guy who doesn’t say from the depths of hell) and yes he gets insanely excited about athletics. Absolute legend (and his cork accent does make it x10 better)
This is incredible. The first in line (yellow) turns out to be the last runner while the last in line (red) turns out to be the final winner. Epic "depths of hell" commentary!
Brilliant race (from all 28 athletes) including the fabulous commentary. This is what athletics should be all about - everyone giving it their all. Yes, it's not a time to set the world on fire, but who cares? Everyone's clean and determined to win and the race is unbelievably entertaining. I've watched this with my kids a hundred times and we've loved every second, including the honest and fun commentary. You can take your Olympics and shove it up your arse as far as I'm concerned. Kudos.
The 400m takes pure grit and shows your true colors. I can say that even though i'm in excruciating pain it is one of my favorites races, along with the 200m.
Loved it!!! the 2 young men commentators sounded like two old very excited british women.....excellent!!!!!!!! and he closed out with "Phil Healy what a run!" You can't fake that, they are the real deal.....Bravo!!!
+Nice and Easy she did great. it helped her a lot that 2 of the leading girls began to blowout. you could see the cringe in her face at the end because her leg was giving up on her.
Absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G-! There is no such thing as second place for those who desire to win. She had her focus, not on her position and not on her circumstances but on "Her Purpose"! If you have failed in life; if you have fallen; if you find yourself far behind - DO NOT FOCUS ON YOUR POSITION - FOCUS ON YOUR DESIRE AND PURPOSE! You CAN come from the deepest of hell holes and succeed at whatever you set your heart towards. GIVE ALL YOU HAVE AND GO FOR IT! YOU GOT THIS! YOU GOT THIS! I promise you, YOU GOT THIS!
@@iratepeople455 Actually it is a little bit. Running in straight line is easy when you are tired rather than in a curve as you also have to balance your weight while turning.
The 400 is often termed the most difficult distance....as it is neither truly a sprint nor a distance run......when I ran track, the most brutal of all workouts involved 400 meter intervals.
HOLY SHIT! I stand up to this woman! That was a magnificent race! That was the best finish I have seen ever! Good job everyone! This was truly a great suspense action scene.
Holy crap, what a race!!! Have never even heard of these school before but with the great performances and amazing commentating, I was enthralled from start to finish.
Might be 3 years late but i'll give you run down UCC- University college cork DCU - Dublin city university DIT - Dublin institute of technology CIT- Cork institute of technology UCD - University College Dublin Trinity - trinity university...they dont do initials!!
1. Incredible finish to go from almost last place to first! 2. Wow, I feel terrible for the girl in yellow going from first in a ginormous lead to dead last.
+ChristophProbst There were seven teams, and Phil Healy (girl in red) went from fifth to first, and the girl in yellow went from first to fifth. So neither of them were ever "dead last".
Give that Healy girl a medal, and then fast track her to whatever national team will have her! That is the most incredible final leg of a 4x400m race I've ever seen from a runner. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!! That's heart and determination, right there. They should show this video in schools. See you in Rio. Well done!!!!
+Damian Rangi I know, it's sounds terrible. They just don't seem to hear themselves, or maybe they just don't care. Just put the tongue a little bit further toward the lower rim of the teeth, and it comes out right.
What really makes this amazing to watch is that the cadence of the two announcers just keeps going up and up and faster and faster as they near the finish. I wonder what Healy's split was.
One feature of this race that warmed my heart was that, after Phil Healy fell at the finish, two other competitors ran over to see how she was. One was a team mate, as you might expect, while the other was a runner from another team.
FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL...iconic commentary
+pulluptheroots - ...and almost falling off the balcony. priceless
+pulluptheroots hahhaa, listened to that portion a few times myself.
+pulluptheroots Definitely the best phrase to describe where that girl came from to win the race.
Hilarious!
Epic come-back; massive dive; outrageous commentary. This clip has it all!
And a girl named Phil.
The collapse at the finish line. Dramatic AF
The female commentator should have a place in commentating BPL
@nishan syed there’s no female commentator, it’s Cathao and Ronan, one being my school coach and the other being an independent journalist
Sadly the IAA stupidly dropped them the day before the commentary of the Nationals this year leaving 2 muppets to fill in. Shocking stuff considering these 2 were our finest
The two lads commentating deserve a medal as well! Made the whole thing even better! XD. Well done Phil on the comeback!
This is easily one of the best videos on UA-cam. An absolutely impossible feat of sport before our very eyes... and the best commentary the world has ever heard. Lmao
3:56
I just saw Phil Healy run in the 4x400 Olympic finals and immediately rewatched this.
"UCC FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL" - commentator LOL
ive watched this 3 times and cried each time. that was heroic.
infinite3joy it brings me to tears every time too. It's an outrageous final lap.
I thought I was the only one ..... I also cried. Wow what an amazing and historic comeback!
Me too! But then those two guys could make you cry watching grass grow. What a run and what a call.
I did too
I also cried!
The commentators with the World Class call !! "UCC FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL" .... they got me hype like i was watching the Kentucky Derby LOL
i agree. didnt realize i was holding my breath! ha
The first time the girl that eventually wins the race enters the SCREEN is at 3:38 or so, and she's around 50 meters behind with the leader only having about 200 meters left to run. I've never seen anything like this.
Happens in horse racing all the time.
@@raygordonteacheschess5501 🤣👋
Every time I need some motivation I come back to this race💪👍

Does anyone else cry watching this? As an athlete this is what it’s all about
A tear on the 1000th rewatch still. With no chance in hell so she left the depths of hell
Yes, and I'm certainly not an athlete. The girl ran out of her skin!
Yep
Facts
"from the depths of hell". I cant get enough of this video. it has it all from suspense, rising action, and a surprise ending
I love that commentary of "Coming from the depths of Hell". That was a very vivid description of just how much distance she had to make-up.

That's future olympian Phil Healy; did the other "future olympian" Michelle Finn (sp?) make it?
@@raygordonteacheschess5501 Yep, she ran for Ireland in the 3,000 metres steeplechase at the Summer Olympics in Rio in 2016 finishing 11th in her heat.
@@DaveKahn Meanwhile Phil Healy is still a star and probably was the better runner.
Cathal Dennehy (depths of hell guy) was on the Dan Patrick show this morning talking about the race/call. Epic radio. He tells Dan, ya we pretty much lost our minds, our composure, our professionalism.. Definitely worth a listen.
Did he happen to mention did that other girl wear them heels after.
UA-cam was made to preserve and publicize moments like this.
Wow "from the depths of hell" might be my favorite track announcer commentary EVER!!

"Helloooo!" "From the depths of hell!!!" haha Fucking legends
i spoke to soon
Salute to women in red. You were great. Your fan from Russia :))))
"From the depths of hell!"
Now THAT'S some good color commentary.
A truly epic effort... inspirational and outstanding! "UCC from THE DEPTHS OF HELL is pumping through!!!" so good...
Ha! You may be right! I listened to it two more times and couldn't tell 🙂
This is incredible. The first in line (yellow) turns out to be the last runner while the last in line (red) turns out to be the final winner. Epic "depths of hell" commentary!
I used to run track in the 80s, high school and college. That final lap brought tears of joy! I miss that fighting spirit to make it to the tape.
Commentators could barely speak clearly they were so excited at the end LOL!
To be sure the girl who won had one heck of a leg coming back from "the depth of hell" and giving it all! What a performance for her team!
This race was one for the record. What a never surrender attitude. Congratulations on that miracle finish!
Son of a @#$%&! That's the LAST time I'll ever bet on the IUAA Womens 4 x 400m relay final.
This is such an underrated comment
Love that a runner from another team checks on her! good on you for that sportsmanship!
I'm still watching this all these year later. Epic altogether

"From the depths of hell" has to be the best commentary I have heard in a while.
The commentary definitely fit the race perfectly! I've never seen anyone deserve to win so much.
The most amazing thing is there were no more than 200 people watching this live and yet they were so into it.
dear bbc hire the commentator now
wouldn't wish that on anyone.
SHE CAME OUT OF NOWHERE WHAT THE HELL
What the depths of hell!
she came from the depths of hell, of course
I had to rewind and see, in my own words, "where the *** did that girl in red/orange even come from?!?" Found 3:39, DANG
01:19 "...CIT at the moment in second as I nearly fall off the balcony. I'll step forward. It's safe, and..." "Exciting times, Cathal." "It is."
I keep coming back to see this over and over.
This is epic. It has to be in top 10 videos on the internet ever filmed. It's a shame so few know about this.
The 400m takes pure grit and shows your true colors. I can say that even though i'm in excruciating pain it is one of my favorites races, along with the 200m.
The commentary is priceless. Well done lads. And obviously Ms. Healy. Go on Cork!! A win for my old college UCC. Terrific stuff
Loved it!!! the 2 young men commentators sounded like two old very excited british women.....excellent!!!!!!!! and he closed out with "Phil Healy what a run!" You can't fake that, they are the real deal.....Bravo!!!
wow, wow, wow, wow, wow! That's an incredibly distance to make up in one trip around the track. I've never seen anyone make up so much in one lap.
+Nice and Easy she did great. it helped her a lot that 2 of the leading girls began to blowout. you could see the cringe in her face at the end because her leg was giving up on her.
Ozzy Man Reviews anyone!?

If you have ever ran a 400m at full pace you will understand how incredible this is. Wow!
Soo true a lot easier to run a straight line
+Stansla Michael the curve isn't what make it hard...
If you've ever lost to a racehorse who didn't even enter the television picture until the far turn, you'd know it happens very often.

This remains one of the best things on the internet!
I haven't seen this clip in 5 yrs it still cemented in my brain "UCC FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL, WHAT A RUN!"
HOLY SHIT! I stand up to this woman!
That was a magnificent race! That was the best finish I have seen ever!
Good job everyone! This was truly a great suspense action scene.
Holy crap, what a race!!! Have never even heard of these school before but with the great performances and amazing commentating, I was enthralled from start to finish.

I have watched this many times, it is still great.
WHAT A RACE... WHAT A finish! THAT VID ...fantastic. One of the most motivational you´ll ever have. Great!
She s a Legend! Made Impossible to Possible.
Maybe the wrong person got picked for the Olympic team?
+Qwerty Qwerty That would explain it! Thanks for the clarification.
1. Incredible finish to go from almost last place to first! 2. Wow, I feel terrible for the girl in yellow going from first in a ginormous lead to dead last.

This is the best commentary ever
Give that Healy girl a medal, and then fast track her to whatever national team will have her! That is the most incredible final leg of a 4x400m race I've ever seen from a runner. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!! That's heart and determination, right there. They should show this video in schools. See you in Rio. Well done!!!!
+AGITPROP65 4 seconds off from national record in ireland
+brettjay I've emailed RTE to see if they can get her on the Late Late asap! It would triple the ratings!
Looking at this after they mention it in my 'First Year Guide to Success' UCC booklet on the Clubs page! Forgot how great this race was!
Wow wow wow, what a suspense race... me and my wife was cheering as we are right in the action. Truly amazing comeback!!
was this on tursday the turty-turd. The squealing commentary at the end is priceless.
lol

A real Maggie Vessey style win !!
"FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL, SHE CLIMBS HER WAY BACK!" greatest line in this video
UCC FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL 😂😂😂😂 This was an incredible race but the announcers just made it so much better
What a come back from Phil Healy bring home the gold Ireland is proud of you no matter what
Wow... From worst to first. What an Epic Finale. Great finish *and that commentary was funny*
+walter msechu And from first to worst! Why was that woman running anchor???
Whoaoooooo! I did not see that one coming. These ladies they were floating! Unbelievable. "How bad do you want it?"
3:05 is the start of the final lap and all the action.
Don’t ever give up ! Proves it there big time .. proud of the lady . 👍
Run out of breath just watching this.
Greatest race I have ever seen with outstanding commentary!!!
That was BEYOND amazing!!!
3:35 turbo blaster jets of the steeplechase specialists!
3:50 here comes where's wally
3:55 UCC FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL ARE POWERING THROUGH!
Probably the best thing I’ve seen in sports ever. She’s amazing.
Not world class runners....but world class courage and heart.
Giving it her all, that's the mind of a true athlete right there.
this would go in as one of the greats ..
Wow, so good I watched it twice. He legs were almost a blur! Thanks for posting this. I love track.
Congrats to Phil Healy, European Silver Medalist!
from the depths of hell he said and I lost it
when starbucks closes in 5 minutes
Holy Shit. UCC was like a 150m behind at the start of the 4th lap! Insanity and what perfect commentary!!!
What really makes this amazing to watch is that the cadence of the two announcers just keeps going up and up and faster and faster as they near the finish. I wonder what Healy's split was.
this and "hear comes diggins" are some of my favorite race commentaries ever xD
In an internet full of sensationalist headlines that almost always fail to deliver, this one is the real deal. Truly amazing.
This never gets old
When you've got a race at 12:30 but your husband's flight from Afghanistan arrives at 12:35
Anyone still watching this in 2019?
No 2021 actually if you can believe it
I watch this periodically to laugh my ass off and feel like things are possible. That commentary tho. Of the century, to be sure.
THAT was a hell of a race!!!
Never give up. Never give up. What a run! Im inspired...
I should be out practicing for my upcoming pub crawl, but I just keep watching it, over and over.
The Rocky theme was playing in her head.
+Kegan Terry no it was chariots of fire lol
+Kegan Terry If it was "Rocky", she would have lost, but at least she would have finished!
"From the depths of the hell" lol. That was hilarious. Craaaaaazzzy finish.
That's the definition of "leaving it all on the field." Or track that is.
