And the fact that the father said something to keep him going to the finish line when they came up to help him off the track was honestly the Best part bc he would know an athletes pride in Olympics wouldn’t let him walk off without finishing at all so he helped get him to the line. Like that just shows he was proud of him to begin with and didn’t care if he won gold or was on last place. It was the fact that he did it to begin with.

Literally chills.

the gymnastic comitte wasnt ready for 10 perfect point. the score board just shows 1.00, instead of 10.00 😂

The german weightlifter is so touching dedicated his win to his dying wife

A great moment for me is when Aly Raisman (gymnast) won the silver medal in Rio in the all around final (2016). She failed to medal at the 2010, 2011, and 2015 world championships in the all around, and she lost a bronze medal in London 2012 due to a tie breaker. She overcame so much, and she got it on her 5th try! She was better in 2016 than she was in 2012.

Awesome moments! This is why I love The Olympic Games! 🤘🤘 ✊ Honorable mentions go to Jesse Owens in 1936, The Miracle On Ice of 1980, and Cathy Freeman in 2000. 👍👍

Well, there are many great moments in sports. Two, to me obvious, moments on lists like these would be 1) Bob Beamon winning in Mexico with a jump that beat the old world record by 55 cm, or an increase by 6,5 % in one go. 2) The Soviet last second win in basketball vs the US in 1972, the first ever title lost by the US. And of course, there are plenty of great moment in the winter games too, e.g. the US win in ice hockey in 1980!
