25 EMBARRSSING AND BIGGEST MISTAKES Sports #69
One of the most embarrassing and biggest mistakes in sports history occurred during the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. American runner Billy Mills, who was not considered a favorite to win the marathon, found himself in the lead with just two miles left in the race. However, Mills mistakenly took a wrong turn and ran an extra mile before realizing his error. Despite this setback, Mills managed to catch up to the leaders and ultimately won the gold medal in one of the most remarkable comebacks in Olympic history. This mistake is often cited as one of the most embarrassing moments in sports, as Mills could have easily given up and accepted defeat after taking the wrong turn. However, his determination and resilience allowed him to overcome this mistake and achieve greatness.
