Legend!

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

In 1983, Cliff Young, a 61-year-old potato farmer, showed up in work boots to compete in Australia’s toughest ultramarathon alongside elite athletes. Unaware that competitors were meant to sleep during the race, he kept running continuously. Against all expectations, he won by a margin of 10 hours.

In 1983, Cliff Young, a 61-year-old potato farmer, arrived at the start of the Westfield Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon looking entirely out of place. The race, stretching nearly 600 miles across Australia, was typically reserved for elite endurance athletes with specialized training, equipment, and support teams. Cliff turned up in loose overalls and rubber work boots, and most observers assumed he would not even make it through the first day.

Yet Cliff had spent much of his life herding sheep on his family farm, often covering long distances on foot for hours at a time. His running style was nothing like the others—short, shuffling, and unorthodox—but it was steady and relentless. Crucially, he was unaware of the standard race strategy, where competitors ran in long shifts and then slept for several hours. Cliff simply kept moving.

While the favorites stopped to rest, he continued through the night. As the days passed, it became clear he was not just surviving the race—he was leading it. Spectators began lining the route to watch the slow, determined figure pass mile after mile.

After 5 days, 15 hours, and 4 minutes, Cliff Young crossed the finish line in first place, finishing about 10 hours ahead of his nearest competitor and shattering the previous record by nearly two days. When he learned there was prize money, he reportedly gave it away to the other runners, saying they had all worked just as hard.

His distinctive running style later became known as the “Young Shuffle.” Initially mocked, it was eventually studied by ultramarathon athletes for its efficient, energy-conserving motion over extreme distances.

Lucas is 13, ambidextrous, and plays without a backhand, he just switches hands and hits forehands on both sides
