Damn straight he earned them percs

You didn’t mention the OTHER reason Greg Louganis’ ‘88 win was such a big deal. Come to find out in the ‘90’s he was HIV positive at the time. When this came out in the ‘90’s people were mad because he had bled into the water that other divers went in. But the size of the pool & the chlorine meant to risk to the divers. The only actual risk was to the doctor that stitched him up but no one caught it. Greg was also on medication at the time

A torn ACL cost me my shot at the Olympics for the 2016 games in Rio. I know the feeling of seeing your dreams you have worked so hard for evaporate in an instant. It was my 3 time tearing it in 6 years and the second time in less than 6months. I wanted it so bad that I thought I could fight through the pain and I would get better. I wanted to believe the doctor had been wrong when he told me I wasn’t ready to come back after only 3 months of recovery. I couldn’t admit my dream was probably over. I then walked around on it for 4 years without telling a soul. When I finally got it looked at the surgeon (who was a family friend) just shook his head and told me I had caused so much damage it would take years to undo. I had to relearn how to walk basically. That day I walked out of the office with a full brace that went from my mid thy to my mid calf and I wore it everyday for close to four years. The doctor made me do a full year of physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around my knee to prepare for surgery. My insurance was forcing him to repair it rather than replace it. He appealed it twice and they denied it. I’m 2017 he finally did the first surgery with a full understanding it was temporary and he was only buying time to improve my quality of life. He had no doubt it was doing to tear again we just didn’t know when or how I would do it. In December 2019 6 weeks after I got married I went to sit down at a Christmas party with friends and felt the worst pain of my life. I knew exactly what it was the second I felt it. When they did the MRI right after New Years it showed a complete blow out of the ACL, MCL, and all of the ligaments. It was basically a complete catastrophic blow out of the knee and anything that could tear…did. My knee was so compromised from the prior surgeries and walking on it for untreated for so long basically left me with a ticking time bomb for a knee and the slightest shift of movement in just the right place was going to set it off. It took another 3 years from the first appointment after the four years of doing nothing to the final surgery which finally replaced my ACL. My husband calls it my zombie leg. I spent over half my life battling an ACL injury. Since my last surgery I have gotten so much of my life back but it’s still not what it used to be and it will never be 100%. But after having a knee that was functioning at maybe 50% on a good day to close 85%-95% with I’ll take it. I will eventually need a knee replacement once I’m older but because of my age the insurance would not let my doctor do it because i would need to have it redone every 15-20 years. So for now i have a zombie leg and it seems to be functioning very well. Thankfully I haven’t had an cravings for brains but who knows that may come later.

Kurt angle didn't win with a broken neck, he won with a broken Freakin' neck! Oh it's Damn true! 🥇🇺🇲

Its Damn TRUE...Wooooh!!

I remember the Derek Redmond race-I had tears in my eyes when I saw him still running and when I saw his father had run down to help him. And Kerri Strug was a hero for what she did,

I cannot believe some of the injuries these champions suffered that they just powered through. They should all have gotten gold medals for their strength!

I suspected Kurt Angle would be on here, and he was...at number one!☝️

Kerri Strug A.K.A. Carry on and Shrug off the pain

Came here for Kurt, left satisfied🔥

You knew Kurt Angle was gonna be on here because he won with a freaking broken neck.

Oh wow, the broken Fibula is something I know all too well. I can't believe he ran all the way full speed

Derek Redmond’s dad was a real champ, helping his injured son finish the race

I feel like most of these athletes didn't have a choice but to continue injured from the pressure of either coaches or their country. Kerri Strug had no choice but to vault injured. If Bela Karoli told you to do something then you did it no options. Thats just how gymnastics was even in other countries. If you look upnthe story of Elena Mukhina who was apart of the Soviet Union had a broken leg and her coach made her take her cast off early and push her into performing a Thomas Salto(which is now banned) very dangerous move she told her coaches she was afraid of doing it and two weeks before the Moscow olympics she landed on her chin and snapped her spin.

And the messed up part is they didn't even need Kerri Strug's vault to win.

Kerri Strug should have been pulled out by herself and coaches before her last vault. They still would have won without her vaults counting based on the scoring system then. Her health was and is more important than a gold medal and tv moment

Kerri Strug. That was the most iconic moment in Olympic history.

Pain....temporary. The art of the story, timeless

🤮 HE RAN ON A BROKEN FIBULA?!?!?! Seriously made my stomach turn.

Ugh, I know! But, damn he does NOT show it! I can't tell in the clip when it even happened!

Marian Kasprzyk of Poland broke his thumb in the first round of gold medal fight in boxing welterweight and yet he won. That was in 1964 Tokyo Olympics.

*Comments before even watching the video* If I don't hear "...With a broken freaking neck!", WatchMojo is to take yet another L 🥇

Immediately thought of Kurt Angle. Thanks WatchMojo✊🏅🏅🏅

If Kurt Angle ain't on here....

I was expecting Al Oerter to be on this list for winning discus gold in 1964 with broken ribs!

How have I never noticed a summer hockey event in the Olympics?

Lasse Viren, who fell down and still won the gold medal on 10km run.

That was blooming awesome! What crazy determination! Wow!🤗

PROPS TO THESE OLYMPIANS THAT STILL WON WHILE BEING INJURED!

Talk about really tough athletes

Kerry Strug is one gymnast that beaten the odds in 1996 Summer Olympics from ATL!!!

What about Justyna Kowalczyk? In 2014 in Sochi she won 10km classic (cross country skiing) with a broken foot

Just entered to check if Kurt Angle was in this one. Cause he won with "a broken freaking neck".

Goes to show any obstacle can hit us but we can still manage to win

They should have made this a top 20 list

Kurt Angle winning the Olympic Gold Medal with a "broken freaking neck" deserved to be no 1, seeing that It'd already permeates pop culture

Many people knew Kurt Angle would be here, many expected he’d be number 1. But no matter what, everyone on this list more than deserved their medals.

You should have included 2020 Tokyo's Men Long Jump Final. Silver and Bronze went to a pair of Cuban athletes (Echevarría and Masso) who got injured after making their winning jump at the beggining. They had to forfeit the rest of their jumps and pray for no one else to make a better one. And they almost did, but a Greek athlete (Tentoglou) managed to equal Echevarría's mark. He then tried to jump with his injury as he only needed to surpass Tentoglou's 2nd best jump, but failed to complete the jump because of pain, effectively granting Tentoglou the Gold Medal.

Heroes, that's what every athlete on here is in my heart!

They are all amazing; despite the pain they gone through, they are all Olympic champions

I saw a similar event during a high school hockey game. One of our players fell and gashed his nose on the lip of his helmet. Several stitches and a black eye later he scored the winning goal in double overtime.

I'm here for one person and one person only. It's because he won with a broken freakin neck

Sports is all about this. Fair play. There are too many cheaters these days. Are you happy to win gold even while cheating?

For some of these athletes it could be life or death. Not to defend them but if you had to secretly smuggle your family out of the country to keep them safe you would probably cheat too.

there as a German gymnast who went with a broken neck for at least a year without anyone noticing. He did compete in games during that time, though I can't remember if that included Olympics too.

I currently have a similar injury to Manteo Mitchell, I have been walking on a fractured ankle for 2 weeks before I knew what had happened. At this stage I have a 6 month recovery for it to be healed to a good level but 1-2 years for it to be fully healed

without watching, Kurt Angle better be on this list!

Wait... WWE star Kurt Angle was in the Olympics? He sure kept quiet about that for his whole career.

Im surprised no horseback riders/equestrians were on this list bc… damn… when things go wrong in sports being on a horse is deadly

HE WON A GOOD METAL WITH A BROKEN FREAKIN’ NECK!!! 💪🇺🇸🥇

ALL OF YA'LL ARE GOLD MEDEL WINNERS IN MY BOOK! 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇

I tumbled on a crushed growth plate in my big toe for a year and a broken foot for a month without knowing. (Both injuries were within a year of each other and since I didn’t cry, my parents didn’t believe me for the longest time that something was wrong. They were actually both broken at the same time at one point.)

Came to see if there was a bunch of Kurt Angle comments. Wasn't disappointed🙌

Kurt Angle winning gold even after breaking bones in his neck and pulling muscles? That's bada**! Can't believe I've never heard of him. I've heard of Keri Strug though, and I think I remember the announcers going on about the woman from Slovenia during those winter Olympics.

How has Derek Redmond not gotten a Hollywood biopic yet?

Kurt angle.. that’s all 👍👍

It's so strange listening to Angle's entrance music and NOT hearing the chant.

How the hell could a person do anything with a broken neck? Jesus Christ! Kurt Angle is a real monster!

Is this a way of saying that let nothing push you down from winning?

Can you do comic book origin of Marvel's the Badoon and the Broods?

Due to a mistake made by the team that was right behind the us at 96 the us would had won even if Kerri hadn't gone again but they didn't know that before she went

Well Damn Kurts a badass.

Can you do top 10 facts about Marvel's the Brood?

KURT ANGLE is a beast !!!!! 👊🏻🤟🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🇺🇸

last week i broke my ankle running in rugby i stood in a rabbit hole and i only had about 10 metres to run until I could score so i kept running and placed the ball on the ground then fell to the ground all my teammates ran over and the opposing team came over too they helped me up then they where going to carry me but I said " I can walk" then i walked off my foot was facing sideways while my knee was staight

How was Kerri Strug so low??

Meanwhile Neymar be like, the grass is to tall, it cut my leg

In the end Strug's vault wasn't even needed to win.

I defy anyone else to ever win a gold medal, in amateur wrestling, with a broken freakin’ neck. Never gonna happen, you know it’s true

Oh it's true , it's damn true

I think we all can agree we came here for Kurt Angle 😂💯

Kurt FN Angle!

PERC ANGLE

Yeah what about Kurt Angle he wrestled in the '96 Olympic games with the broken freaking neck

Also, wasn't so much Louganis wasn't so much the concussion as it was the HIV/AIDS.

Kurt was NOT on the perc. Perc was on the Kurt.

What about Nancy Kerrigan?! Where is her story!?
