You missed Gordeeva and Grinkov's Moonlight Sonata at Lillehammer as well as Yuzuru Hanyu's Seimei at Peyong Chang Both these routines made them double Olympic champions😊
I don’t care what anyone else thinks but figure skating is easily the best winter Olympic sport. It was one of the originals and it has the highest amount of views each year! Also ALL HAIL QUEEN YUNA
It's not a sport. Just because something is a competition doesn't make it a sport. Especially when judges already have their favorites before they even see the competition
I love seeing the firsts, especially when it is the first team to compete for a country, or the first win of a newly included sport. There is always something extra special about those.
The US Hockey Team win in 1960 at Squaw Valley? Well, it's clear that there's a "recency bias" here. Arguably, they need things with color footage, but come on....
Very surprising that there are a lot of videos about athletes winning in Vancouver (Yuna Kim's moment was great!), however, I don't see Virtue/Moir (CAN), Yuzuru Hanyu (Japan), Shani Davis (USA's first double Olympic champion in speed skating, who was a former WR holder, with two Olympic silver medals as well), Katarina Witt (2x OGM after Sonja Henje of Norway), or many others who deserve mention. There needs to be a part 2 of this with these athletes, Olympic Channel.
It's so nice to watch Yuna Kim in this video! The only confusing part is: It's seem not have seen Yuzuru Hanyu, the first consecutive men's Olympic Champion in 66 years. That moment of continuous dominance inspires people.(Especially for earthquake victims) Yuzu is the best publicity symbol for the Beijing Winter Olympics next year (whether he participates or not, I respect his choice, his safety and health is the greatest happiness) Thanks for the production of this video, let me know more winter sports!so great!
@@oOKomuiOo Winning two consecutive gold medals today is really different from 66 years ago. There is a reason no one has done it for so long--careers are shorter, there is more competition, etc. But it's not just that Hanyu won two gold medals; he literally did the impossible to get there. He had a severe ankle injury and was off the ice for months. He did not even start jumping quadruple jumps until two weeks before the Olympics, or do a whole run through of the free program. He was on very heavy painkillers. He had obviously been doing some serious mental and physical off-ice training in the meantime. So it's not just that he still beat the competition despite coming from far less on-ice training and still being very injured, it's also that he did all of that just to win a second gold medal when he could have easily retired whenever he wanted after winning his first one, like most figure skating Olympic gold medalists understandably have for the last 66 years (yes, some people did stick around, but they didn't win a second consecutive gold medal). And aside from all of that, both his programs were just some of the finest Olympic skates in history, especially the short program.
@@antoniowu3089 then why aren't there Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir in here? They've won 2 Olympic golds at 3 games (team event not included) and the other time they've won silver. Yuzuru's long program in 2018 wasn't perfect he wasn't even in the first place for it. There are some competitors who won gold when they were injured Oksana Baiul won with a knee injury from the day before, Petra Majdic won gold after she broke four ribs and sustained a collapsed lung during training at the Olympics. And those weren't in this video so why should he be?
I hope Yuna Kim and other Vancouver 2010 athletes enjoyed their medals as well as what Vancouver has to offer besides the games, such as watching the 9 O’ Clock Gun go off and riding the SkyTrain
Yuna Kim is on the list, but where is Yuzuru Hanyu? A world record short program score (101.45), first gold medal for Japan in figure skating in Sochi 2014 and then won his second gold medal in 2018. There is a reason why Yuzu is the GOAT! 🇯🇵⛸🥇🥇👑🐐
she had 3 world records and he only one. If they have added him for the first gold medal they should have added everyone else who did the same because there are many who did this before him. He wasn't the first who won a consecutive gold so they should have picked the first if they wanted to add it but at the same time it happens to often to list it in this video.
Ioc, why are you so fake? Yunakim deserves her second olympic gold in sochi, but robbed. And olympic channel keep using yuna kim for contents promotional. objectionable.
King Kripps! As a Canadaian skeleton hopeful (bobsleigh and skeleton are the same international team) he is a Canadaian bobsleigh king. The best Male driver we have right now
Its the Iron lady Marit Bjoergen one of the greatest athlete to be the number.1 in all standing in the top rank in cross country skiing and not only she was the most successful cross country skier she is ranked 3rd athlete to be in the medal table in olympics history with the most medal
This video is so recency biased. Where is Miracle On Ice? And Eric Heiden's 1980 quintuple victory? What about Katarina Witt, Sonja Henie, Hermann Maier, Alberto Tomba, Rosi Mittermaier, Ingmar Stenmark, Ole Einar Bjorndalen?
Yes.There are so many moments of the Winter Games forgotten here. Lidya Skoblikova 4 gold medals in 1964 olympics, Yevgeny Grishin 4 gold medals in speed skjating, Ulrich Wehling three time olympic champion in Nordic Skiing, Bjorn Daehlie 12 medals, 8 gold; Wolfgang Hoppe and Bogdan Musiol in Bobsleigh; Georg Hackl and Armin Zoeggeler in Luge; the powerful USSR team in Hockey; Jean-Claude Killy and Toni Sailer in alpine skiing; Kjetil Andre Aamodt, Janica Kostelic, Johann Olav Koss, Matty Nykaenen, Sixten Jernberg, Klavdiya Boyarskikh, Marit Bjorgen, Japanese 3 medals in ski jumping in 1972 olympics, irina Rodnina in figure skating, Ard Schenk , Marja-Liisa Hamalainen and so many others athletes.
Eddy the eagle should have gotten a Gold Medal for trying ... really. And Antonio Gomez in speed skating too ... Perhaps they just gave it their best , and that's good enough for me !!!!
Maier . Labomba and other great ski Icons , Oh well, We'll have to wait for them to make a video on the best ski moments ...but you can look up a few on YT if you are crurious.
@@gus3247365 oh no I've seen it multiple times but I was just quite surprised that they didn't put in the greatest comeback in winter Olympics history.
Many of these weren't even iconic. Especially not in comparison with, for example, Miracle on Ice. Heck, I'm Swedish and seriously wondering why that isn't on this kind of list. Or Charlotte Kalla's truly amazing comeback in the 4x5km relay at the 2014 winter Olympics. Yes, I know you have a very short video about that particular event, but still. That was certainly iconic. Certainly among the top 30 moments.
@@silverfaith1277 here you go again after 4 months. I'm free to express myself as long as I'm not insulting anyone or something like that too. So what is your problem?
Yuna is a retired Korean figure skater known for being "the perfect skater" who never placed off the podium in her entire career. She broke numerous world records and popularized figure skating, especially in Korea. Her Vancouver and Sochi Olympic performances are considered some of the most iconic figure skating programs of all time. :)
@@oOKomuiOo is the first one in 66 years on Ice Skating. Is not normal, because the senior skating career is short. The retire age is before 30, mostly 27. He was one of the youngest gold champions in 2014 with 19 and then 2018 with 23. He is going with 27 to his last Olympics in 2022. So yeah. He is a legend.
@@ValeBarrientos I they wanted to add a consecutive gold they should have added Gillis Grafström since he won it 3 times in a row. If he was the first who ever won a consecutive gold he would be in the list, but a consecutive gold is to normal for such a video.
NO besides the world should be recovered by Covid-19 by then it will show our resiliency as a Human race by attending them in Beijing you didn't bat an Eye when they were held in Sochi 2014
