That dude clearly caught that bat. I can’t even believe someone tried to grab it from him . It wasn’t even like it fell between them. Dude literally caught it by the handle
The "spotter" who caught the athlete off the trampoline really was keeping his eyes on that man. That catch was Awesome! Looked like he may have gotten popped in the eye with dude's head I'm sure he is all good.
Keeping his focus through all the shots in that sequence is the part that really impresses me the most. As an old old old coach I have mad respect for that kind of focus
i went to ice hockey live. same problem - the puck is too small, especially given the speed it moves. i had to stay to the end, out of politeness..............!!
They haven't used a puck since 1963. It's just a bunch of husky dudes skating around and they add the puck in post production later. The more you know...
Great athleticism, but he knocked the ball back into play three times out of three. The first one caught him by surprise, the second one he had to save cos otherwise it would have been a goalkeeping error leading to a goal, and the third one should not have happened, but was directly at him. Good positioning, good reactions, but not a good example of goalkeeping; that would be the boring scenario were he deflects the first shot over the bar for a corner.
My wife and I were at the Vancouver Goalie save against the Redwings. The goalie was three quarters of the way to his bench when the redwings stole the puck and made the break away. Only time I’ve ever seen an opposing player get a standing ovation for a play. Truly Awesome to have seen live.
6:50 - I'm no big soccer fan, but that goalie's multiple saves there has to be one of the greatest jobs of protecting the net ever. Incredible reflexes and athleticism.
Impossible Moment In Sports History #21; Patrik Stefan misses an empty net from two feet away, in which the Oilers turn around and score the tying goal with only 3 seconds left in the game!
That was a mix of bad luck and stupidity. Stefan should've taken the shot as soon as possible. But, the puck took a bad bounce just in front of the net, bouncing over his stick.
One of the greatest impossible moments in sports was the 1973 Belmont Stakes, which Secretariat won by an incredible 31 lengths. Chic Andersen himself was stunned while calling the race- "he's moving like an incredible machine!"
that racing one when the guy flipped isn’t that uncommon if your going fast enough because the body of the car isn’t made to withstand a certain degree of pressure and force. it is only a thin material that is why there is a cage of metal and a bunch of protection to protect the person inside.
If you watch hockey regularly, it becomes very easy to know where to look before something happens. It's a little like learning a language, where the more you hear it, the easier it is to make out what someone is saying. But yeah, I imagine to someone who isn't a hockey fan, it's tough to follow.
¡¡¡INCREÍBLE!!! Es algo tan espectacular que no hay palabras para describirlo. En algunas ocasiones se trata de verdaderas máquinas humanas en acción. Esto demuestra que el talento no tiene límites y que el ser humano nunca dejará de sorprender y en esta ocasión para hacer cosas muy positivas. Enhorabuena por subir estos maravillosos vídeos y muchas gracias.
3:45 Wtf? 🧐 That was crazy. The guy just went to return the ball back while flying in that strange flying thing as if it was the most normal thing ever.
You're right. The hockey fans in Detroit gave the opposing goalie a standing O after he made a near impossible save. That too is true sportsmanship and class.
The synchronized diving clip was definitely possible! It's just an example of a pretty good synchronized gainer double pike! Watching synchronized Olympic diving is where it REALLY gets impressive. For some of the Olympians, if you are watching from poolside, you can hardly tell that there is more than one diver in the air!
5:38 - So the synchronized divers were . . . uh . . . synchronized?! What did I miss? Isn't that the whole point of the sport, and what all the other divers do too?
idk really, but maybe the fact that they were so synchronized that they both did the cliff wrong since you're supposed to enter the water by head...just a suggestion I could be wrong
@@kimberlieverschoor3814 No they arent always supposed to go head first... Doing 2 summersaults is a perfectly valid routine, same as 2.5 which would land them head first. It's a different difficulty score but it's a figure just like any other.
@@slowpoke96Z28 its really not as hard as you think. try it a few times and you'll realize you're brain is capable of real time physics and geometrical calculations.
Resist nah, I’m good. I’ll wait till you post the video of you doing it with a regulation ball filled with normal air from around you. Miss me with the physics and geometry. I purposely left that out. But since you want to go there, any 4th grader with a grasp of kinetic energy and potential energy will be able to tell you an average human shooting the ball the way she did won’t give it the energy required to fall from apogee AND bounce another 11’+ AND hit its originally intended target. Highly improbable fam, highly improbable. Could it be recreated by purposefully trying? Sure, and I can’t wait to see your video of it.
With the way people get more athletic and in shape, nothing is truly impossible now, it’s truly amazing how contour your body can move to make some amazing stunts. In 10 years who knows what will be amazing, cars on the road will be a thing of the past, but still we human beings are capable of doing the unthinkable, tomorrow awaits us with the almighty. Every day is a miracle of the unthinkable, so truly amazing 😉
@@Nora-tc2pn I'm flattered by the insinuation that you believe if I can't do it then it is impossible. Thank you. To answer your sincere question: during my playing days I did it thee times in game. It was not as high as he got (sorry to disappoint you). You're obviously not a football fan or you would know that this is not extremely common, it's also not extremely rare. Despite your failed "gotcha" today, please never give up and keep trying. One day you'll succeed. :-)
Personally, I think Kerri Strug's vault with a sprained ankle at the Olympics is the greatest sports event in my lifetime. I think if I was a little bit older, it would be The Miracle on Ice hockey match. And since I'm also from Cleveland, Kylie Irving's 3pointer to win the NBA finals in 2016. :o)
Hockey is just one of those sports better enjoyed in person. TV doesnt capture all the atmosphere that makes watching the game very enjoyable. Other sports like (American)Football and Baseball can be enjoyed on the TV easier, hockey is harder to watch on the TV...imho
I liked the save made by the opposing goalie in Detroit. The Detroit fans were so impressed by the opposition goalie that they gave him a standing O. That just goes to show you how amazing and appreciative the fans in Detroit are.
Not sure how the diving one qualifies as 'impossible'. Synchronisation of movements, down to tenths-of-a-second accuracy with each other, is a matter of course in professional diving. Watch almost any Olympic diving event. It's the entire purpose of synchronised diving.
Since when do divers enter the water feet first? Also ordinarily only one diver would make such a mistake but both? These divers are totallly in synch to the point they both messed up perfectly.
@@kirsteenfraser1222Hi! As a synchronized springboard diver myself, I think I can answer this pretty well. They are actually both doing a gainer double pike, or 304b. It's not generally competed at high levels because it is kind of considered in poor taste to compete with feet-first entries, but its an important building block for divers to learn before advancing to things like a gainer 2 1/2 (305). You can tell that it was an intentional feet-first entry by watching how and when they begin to open up from their pikes--they do so while still almost parallel to the water, which means they were purposely spotting the water. In a 305, they would hold the pike considerably longer, and press their feet out towards a spot on the ceiling, starting at about the time they are perpendicular to the water after their second flip. A mistake would look a LOT more panicked, even with collegiate or professional athletes. Also, you can see how the diver on the far board enters the water with her feet flexed as opposed to pointed, which is a strategy to score higher on feet-first entries. If they hit the water at the right angle, it makes a slapping sound which is similar to the sound judges look for in a "rip", or a really clean entry. Hope I was able to share some fun facts about diving! It's been a huge part of my life for almost a decade and I love to share about it!
@@ellier8494 Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed response. I can’t see what was so unusual about it, if it’s a normal dive for less advanced divers…like, why is it in this video of other feats (haha no feet first pun intended) that were quite astounding?
@@ellier8494 In addition, that clip is clearly from practice rather than competition. You can tell by the fact that there are boys waiting their turn and another pair of divers exiting at the other end of the pool. At major competitions (you can see from the banner that it was the 2017 World Championships in Budapest) men and women do not compete together and there is only one pair diving at a time. The divers do a double gainer from 1m as a lead in for 2 1/2 from 3m which is probably their event.
The only moment I had like this in my life was when I was probably 12 years old and on a trip to boston we went to a red sox game amd mickey morandini hit a foul ball and while I was drinking my soda i had my glove on my lap and everyonr stood up for the ball but i was still sitting down and the ball bounced off a bunch of hands and landed directly in my glove on my lap.... I still have that ball
my greatest moment was when some colts fan at work was talking about how indy was gonna destroy the saints in the super bowl. my immediate response was, "nah, new orleans 31-17." stupid-lucky guess. wish i'd have bet money on that in nevada...
1:53 I was on a business trip from San Francisco out to Washington and the Manager of the company I was working with gave me tickets to that Nationals Game. I was about 6 rows behind them when he caught that bat lol
At 1:57 his wife was already taking the hit. In micro-seconds the Dude went for it..with no fear..giving himself up..to shield her and stop that blow! And on TOP of THAT..he CAUGHT the d*mn thing...perfectly!! That's massive hero stuff.
@James D - i love every tiny aspect of this life i have been given. it's easy when you have an open heart and open eyes. soak it in, baby, soak it in. it's a miracle.
2:58 I know the Red Wing-Nuts are going to feel like their guy got robbed but if "Hockey-Town" doesn't appreciate that magnificent save they don't deserve the nickname Hockey-Town.
Oh yeah when that parson did that "umpossible" thing what that person did that thing happened to be done by that person. That was the best that thing done by that person In the history of sports
1:48 This bat is for me! The launch could have been fatal! 2:02 I could imagine how painful this is. 3:16 That will be 5 points! 3:27 Audience does better catch. 3:43 Flying man! 4:10 That dodge! 4:58 Ouch! It broke! 5:04 Synchronize diving 5:30 Goal with bouncing 6:17 Goalie is like : NOPE! NOPE! NOPE!
Human beings really can be at their most magnificent during sports! And can we just give a MASSIVE shout out to that trampoline spotter who took a high speed headbutt full in the face to save that other guy's life.
In the competitive sports arena, every game is a duel of masters. Every player who can stand on the field has gone through hard training and has passed through layers of selection. There is no doubt about their strength and dedication. As spectators, we appreciate strength, speed, and technology, and more importantly, we need to reap the inspiration of sportsmanship. When we watch games, we must pay attention to the results, but we should focus on the struggle behind the results.
