Michael Andropolis
From the 1979 film, Running, we are introduced to Michael Andropolis (Michael Douglas) an American marathon runner whose competitive drive has him race too fast in the beginning gassing him out before the end. He qualifies fourth for the Montreal Olympics and gets to compete due to an injury to one of the top three. At the Olympics, Andropolis does what he always did roaring to a huge lead, but slips on wet leaves injuring himself in the process. He finishes the race, proving he his no quitter to a great ovation. Funny, we could have easily seen Douglas in more athletic roles; it’s a shame he never did more.
