From the annals of Horrible Shit Done in the Name of Sports, the AP brings us [this horrifying account](http://bigstory.ap.org/article/c22de3a565fe4e85a0508bbbd72c3c1b/ap-s-korea-covered-mass-abuse-killings-vagrants) of human rights abuses&#x2014;rape, torture, murder&#x2014;that went on in South Korean labor camps used to build infrastructure for the **1988 Olympic Games**, among other things.

On a much lighter note, I encourage you all to watch the **amazing finish** of this 400-meter relay, which includes an amazing call by some Irish dudes. VICE Sports' own Sean Newell gathered some [additional info](https://sports.vice.com/en_us/highlight/from-the-depths-of-hell-irish-relay-race-ends-in-insane-comeback).

WHAT A FINISH!!

UCC star Phil Healy “came from the depths of hell” to claim a thrilling victory in the women’s 4x400m relay at the Irish Universities Track and Field Championships in Santry last weekend.

The Cork college looked to be way out of contention when Healy took the baton on for the anchor leg in fifth position of seven runners. UCD looked to be in command with just 400m to go, leading UL by 30m and CIT a further 5m in arrears.

But in an incredible final lap, as commentators Ronan Duggan and Cathal Dennehy considered the race for second place as the only one worth watching, UL’s Michelle Finn reeled in the leader with almost 200m to spare and looked certain to snatch gold for Limerick.
However, as she began to fade, Healy, summoning every last ounce of energy, stormed down the outside to pip Finn at the line in the most dramatic of circumstances.

The 21-year-old Irish international sprinter from Bandon AC had previously won the women’s 200m at the meeting in 23.93 and she fell over the line after the exhausting effort, to the delight of two ecstatic, and increasingly high-pitched, commentators.
Enjoy.

IUAA Womens 4 x 400m Relay Final - What a Finish!!

There is a lot of mid-week action in **European soccer** tonight, with a full slate of La Liga fixtures, some German Cup action, and a couple of Premier League games. The big match is the Merseyside Derby. Klopp is apparently a bit worried about a rough game, not wanting to see any of his players suspended, he [told them](http://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/apr/19/jurgen-klopp-liverpool-everton) to "hurt yourself, not someone else."

His enemies tremble in fear,
Whenever they sense that he's drawing near.
His arm was forged in pure titanium,
A SUPER COMPUTER resides in his cranium!
