Greatest World Records in SPORTS HISTORY | Chilling, Getting in the Mood for the Olympics | reaction 

The audacity of that last goal by Robert. Even Pep his coach couldn't believe his eyes. Beast!

Duplantis (pole-vaulter) is from Sweden, and he's broken his own WR a few times since that video. It's now 6.24m.

The triple jump one was set in 1995, the British Jonathan Edwards broke the record by going over 18m for the first time ever, then his next jump broke the record again! Even now its barely been threatened

The longest tennis match lasted for 11 hours and 5 minutes and was contested over three days between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut at 2010 Wimbledon.

For the ski jump, he basically started when he was 8 years old on a small ramp going only a few meters, then it just kept on increasing as his balance/confidence improved while using bigger and faster jumps.

As a keen 18-yr old school cricket lad, I was at Singleton Park when the Barbadian all-rounder Gary Sobers became the first person to score the perfect six sixes in one over in a first-class match. Of course, that's a record which cannot be beaten.

Yulimar Rojas set a new world record in women's triple jump in 2022

As far as I can remember, the throwing events are hammer throw, javelin, discus, and shot put. As for the triple jump, the only way I'm making it to the sand pit is in an awkward tumble.

The year was 1976 in Innsbruck, Austria and we stayed at Seefeld where they held The Cross Country Skiing which we did not attend. We DID go to Igls for The Bobsleigh but the memory will always be The Mens Ski Jump and an elderly couple gave us their tickets as they could not climb the hill for a good vantage point. At 70 years old in London,I am in the first stages of understanding why..😀😀In 2012, as a Londoner,I, naturally, went to The London Summer Games and saw The Tri-Athlon for Free(again) in Hyde Park with a million others and The English Brownlee Brothers came First and Third winning The Gold and Bronze Medals:)

There are two sports related songs that come to mind. The first is Chariots of fire by Vangelis. (often used in whatever video on sports achievements) and the other is Tour de France by Kraftwerk (although the Whole album is referring to cycling).

Hello, really enjoying your videos. I went to a couple of events at London 2012 (Badminton and Football) and ticked the Olympics off of my sporting bucket list. Prior to the event there was a lot of negativity in the country due to the cost of hosting. But once underway it produced a real feel-good factor and was probably the last time the people of this country really came together for something. I remember the atmosphere in London was so different and positive for those few weeks compared to normal. I imagine Paris will be the same once it gets going.

In Tennis in a major tournament you play best of 5 sets. In the 5th set if you tie at 6 games a piece you do not play a traditional “tiebreaker” (first to 7 points) you play full games until someone wins by two full games. I believe they played like 50+ games in that set and it ended up being 24 games to 22 games.

They played for over 11h but in 3 days if I remember correctly. It happened at Wimbledon where there used to be rule that the 5th set has to finish with 2 games advantage, withoout tie-breaks so that's why instead of ending when 1 player got 6 or 7 games, they went for 70-68. Lewandowski and Włodarczyk are both Polish.

The men's pole vault outdoor world record currently sits at 6,24m. and was set by Duplantis earlier this year. Duplantis has broken his own world record 8 times and he also holds the indoor world record at 6,22m. Since July 2023, he's won every single event. That's 15 consecutive event wins.

The background music on that video is pretty cool. Thanks for leaving a link :)

Amazing world records. Love the video protocol Stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way I love watching the winter games every year

Australia - American Samoa was record for number of goals scored in Fifa qualifications for national teams. Some leagues from Madagascar or somewhere for younger categories have the record for most goals scored in real football match with over 100.

I well remember the 11hour tennis match. It was at Wimbledon and at the time there were no tie-breaks in a final set. I went out when it was already well past 2 sets and 6 games apiece, but returning two hours later and they were still at it because both players got so tired every game went to serve. They then stopped for bad light and carried on the next day. The tie-break rules changed after that match.

Duplantis do be planting it!

The tennis one is a funny story. Back then there was no tiebreak or anything like that back then, so you had to win the last set with two games difference. The game started on the 22nd of june just after 6 PM and was postponed after 4 sets because it was getting dark. On the 23rd they started the 5th set. They were very equal to each other (two of the previous four sets were decided by a tiebreak) and you had to win the set with a two game margin. Neither of them managed to get there, so at the end of the day the game was postponed when it was getting dark again with a score of 59-59 in the 5th set. On the 24th they continued again and finally finished after Isner managed to get ahead by two games: 70-68. Other records they broke during that match: - Most aces in one match (113 by Isner, 103 by Mahut, old record was 78) - Longest set (8 hours and 11 minutes). The fifth set also lasted longer than the longest ATP match ever played - Most games in one match (183 games, old record was 112) - Most games in one set (138, the longest match (not set, match!) up to that point lasted a total of 110 games) - Most consecutive service games held (168 games in a row) - Longest sports report (the whole match was broadcasted by the BBC. For one of the reporters, this was his very first Wimbledon match) The next round match of Isner was delayed to give him time to rest, but that didn't help much. He lost in the next round to Thiemo de Bakker in only 74 minutes (0-6, 3-6, 2-6) Duplantis has an American father and Swedish mother, and was born in the USA. He represents Sweden.

No Protocol Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎

That ski jump is totally bonkers

There are so many world records nowadays, but I've always found sport ones to be the most interesting.

I'm guessing the guy meant said different because goal differential is a term in football

I remember watching the opening ceremonies and they were following the torch to light the Olympic flame. I shouted "thats right outside our house" jumped off the couch and ran outside. It was pretty cool. I also almost got arrested for urinating in an alley. The police said do that inside and I responded with it is a two hour wait and a hundred dollar bill to get inside anywhere.

Worth to mention is that Włodarczyk have 6 best throws from 82.98m to 80.79m. then there are 4 other women placed 2-5 who throwed at best from 80.31m to 78.62m

The last record on this video (longest penalty shootout) was broken recently (May 20th, 2024) in a match between SC. Dimona and Shimshon Tel Aviv from Israel with a total of 56 penalties taken. Dimona won by 23 to 22 after the game ended in a 2-2 tie.

Highest wave surfed: Sebastian Steudtner, Germany 28, 49 meters. Longest distance sailed on a monohull sailboat in 24 hours, 641 mls or 1182 km Boris Herman ( Germany)and team Malizia

Perfect way to end a Sunday

Shot Put is one throwing event in Track and Field.

I used to do track and field myself. And I would say the decathlon is the most real competition. You have a bunch of dudes doing a lot of different athletic sports. These guys are the what the ancient greeks valued in their athletes like 2000 years ago.

I watched that longest tennis match live, it was spread out over a few days days and it was because the rule used to be there’s no tie-break in the 5th/ last set and you keep playing until the diffidence is two games but since they did not get to this until 70 to 68 games in 😮 it was long but fun to have watched it. I also saw the mens triple jump and long jump records live (on tv), it was a while ago though.

Women’s triple jump has also been broken. Yulimar Rojas of Venezuela 15.74m in 2022. She is very exciting to watch!

You are always looking beautiful, and today was no exception. That colour looks really nice on you. Shot put is the other throwing sport. Also, i remember watching a movie about 15 or 20 yrs ago about Steve Prefontaine, car accident if i recall.

That’s the greatest lift by a weightlifter in history.

2:58 Back then there were no tie breaks in the 5th set of a Grand Slam tournament. A rule that has been revised because of this match as it was spread over 3 days and screwed up the schedule of play and TV coverage.

As for book recommendations, I'd go with "Vision Quest" by Terry Davis. It's about wrestling

One thing to keep in mind to make the pronunciation easier when you read foreign names like Lewandowski or Wlodarczyk: the "w" has a "v" sound, so you should read those names as Levandovski and Vlodarczyk. 😉

Isner scored 2 records in few hours, the longest match in the tennis history (unbeatable cause they made the rules change, it was played in 3 days) and in the next match he played the shortest match in Wimbledon history.

The other throwing event you missed was the 'Shot Put'.

Check out the movie Eddie the Eagle. He was the first British ski jumper.

i technically went to the sydney olympics, a mate and i went to all the soccer games played in melbourne at the mcg :)

Song suggestion: Tom Cochrane & Red Riders: "Big League". Powerful, but sad song about a young boy's dreams of playing in a major hockey league that are destroyed in a car accident.

Tennnis I know. Certain tournaments do not allow final set tie breakers. So to win a tennis set you need to win no less then 6 games and be up 2 games to win the set. Most tournaments use best of 3 to win. The 4 Grandlams Austraian Open (rebound ace rubber courts), The French Open (France - Clay), Wimbledon (UK Grass and The US Open (cement) are men play best of 5 sets. If you allow a tie breaker game ( score is 6 all) first to 6 points and up by two wins. However Wimbledon doea not allow final set tie breaks. So its 2 sets all. Final set will play out until one player wins 2 games in a row. iirc correctly the record was 12 games to 10 to determine the winner. That can drag on all night. Pause for darkness and resume the next morning if needed. It is wild to think about.

I think Red Bull recently had a thing where they broke the ski jump record by like a massive margin. That 3 second red card was pretty bogus. Orange is a good color for you, and we lost in high school soccer 19-2 freshman year and I hated it. My coach gave me the nickname "the caveman" cause I went in as sub when it was like 15-0 and started knocking those other kids to the ground however it was too late. can't imagine 32-0

Highlighting the difference between men and women, just 3 examples:- Triple Jump - Jonathan Edwards 18.29m, Inessa Kravets 15.50m. Difference = 9ft2inches. Long Jump - Mike Powell 8.95m, Galina Chistyakova 7.52 m. Difference = 4ft 8.25inches. Pole Vault - Armand Duplantis 6.24 m, Yelena Isinbayeva 5.06 m. Difference = 3ft10.5inches. Just to emphasize, this takes nothing away from any of these athletes, they are all world class in their own fields and every one of these performances was excellence at its best.

I love watching all sports especially those way different that my own sport of strongman

Yes, Robert Lewandowski is Polish, in fact Anita Włodraczyk too, as am I. ;)

The surfing at the Olympics will be held in Tahiti at Teahupoo definitely recommend watching

There better be breaks in the 11 hour tennis match or I’m quitting and going to bed lol, I’m sure there was

The scarier part about Usain Bolt is that it seems as if he could be faster, but he's running politely so as to not insult the others who look like struggling behind him. Edit: maybe they meant highest differential win? Or score difference? The funny thing is that Australia is really low internationally, so for them to beat Samoa that badly... Edit: try HEMA instead of fencing Edit: Paris is great to visit. Get ready to walk a lot, use the metro, ideally rent a flat in the burbs with acces to metro or stay at your friend's (hotels are expensive); do not buy snacks from tourist traps (ex. crepes from near Notre Dame) - better just walk 5 min south towards La Sorbonne and visit a grocery store or a neighbourhood creperie there (student quarter/residential area = somewhat cheaper to really cheaper); expect long lines and crowding at major attractions (La Tour Eiffel, Le Louvre) - in Louvre, the most famous paintings are crowded while the truly interesting areas (Minoan, Persian, even Egyptian and Greek) are practically empty; museums are not too expensive to visit; don't mind the rudeness of the locals (not always, but Paris is known for it as opposed to rest of France/smaller tows); avoid high season (summer/winter) and special events (elections/major sports etc.) - Parisians who can afford it leave the city at those times. Note - France has issued a security warning for this summer. P.S. A stroll down Rue Rivoli or through the Jardin de Tuileries is a nice short walk right by Le Louvre. Also, look up this and try to find the places in that film (on foot😊) - C'etait un rendez-vous (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EL6fbi0ysQ0.htmlsi=Yvb4DNvpGotBey-u)

Chariots of Fire is set at the 1924 Olympics in .................Paris!

Here we go! Wanted to add Stefka Kostadinova's record in high jump (2.09m) from 1987. Still standing!

Also Duplantis breaking record which stood for I guess more then 20 years since Sergey Bubka from Ukraine.

Great commentary, and you're very good at pronouncing unfamiliar names.

Those were cool. Even though I don't watch much olympics (and never the winter games), these were satisfying to watch because they were records. Kudos to the athletes. BTW, that's a nice color on you; is that peach, or a shade of orange?

In terms of team sports I've seen a UK mathematician rank Sir Donald Bradman's record as the greatest in terms of differential by a very long way.

I tend to enjoy the exhibition Olympic sports; I think for the variety. I think Jai alai has been hosted by the Olympics twice now. I have vague recollections of seeing it on the TV as a kid.

the one thing i wished they added to the video was the previous records

If you are going to watch one athlete at the Olympics, it should probably be Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. She has lowered the women's 400m hurdles world record by over 1.5 seconds. She is also in the top 10 fastest ever for the flat 400m, which she was running last year to switch things up, but unfortunately got injured before being able to lower her best time further. She recently ran a 200m and beat all of the specilist 200m runners, including the third fastest ever in that event. Some of the records in that video are a little out of date. Mondo Duplantis (Sweden) has beaten that world record several times since and he dominates the pole vault to a ridiculous degree. While he is vaulting over 6.2m, everyone else struggles to vault over 6m. The women's triple jump is completely dominated by Yulimar Rojas, who is unfortunately out this season due to an achilles operation.

Crazy how Bubka wasn't in there. The dude was breaking his own records in pole-vaulting for a decade and set something like 30 of them. And better still, he set a record which held for more than 20 years in our time. How's that not in the greatest is beyond me.

I think the throwing event you missed was the shot-put. The football was, I think, ;biggest goal difference'. For the 5 goials, I think he would have been nervous and worried after 2 goals, hoping he'd get the hat-trick. I hope you'd enjoy fencing - I used to fence with the foil for a few years and after the initial aches and pains in the thighs before getting accustomed ot the stance it is a fun sport. Not sure about music or books - apart from there being a surreal book about a tennis competition whose name and author elude me completely (so you are forgiven the hoemwork this week ... 😁 !!!)

They introduced tiebreakers to stop tennis matches lasting for that long!

OMG they left the most unbreakable record: most goals in a calendar year for football player, Messi 91 goals in 2012

I'd love to see you fence! or at least hear your thoughts about the experience. I had a few lessons in high school... nothing formal, just from a friend who knew how to fence and offered to give me a taste of it. it was HARD (of course, he was fast and knew what he was doing).

Womens rugby sevens is in the Olympics

Yes, Robert Lewandowski is Polish. Also Anita Włodarczyk is

You should follow Gustavo Ribeiro, our first big global-famous skateboarder, hopefully he'll get an olympic medal! 👌💪

She definitely has a fitness look of a professional athlete.

Yes he is polish, shotput was one you missed, that Johnathan Edwards triple jump record was actually his second jump of 3 and on his first he also broke the wr or maybe it was his 2nd and 3rd he set new records. It's not the furthest he's jumped either he jumped a lot further but the wind was 0.1 over so it didn't count as a wr at a different event, i also think its the longest standing wr for Olympic events.

Fencing vlog please!

7:05 Can one leaf be said to ‘cascade’?

I think by most different win they meant biggest goal difference

Watch some of the Euro 2024 football matches or highlights.

Hello from China )

The tennis match was done over 2 days

hmmm... A lot of iconic records not in here and a few not so iconic that are. Perhaps I should make my own compilation video? 😂

Dont know if you take requests from comment section but you should check out "charlie hits everyone then karma hits charlie" by total combat sports

I used to do weightlifting when I was a teen. Now the muscle I had is all fat (I wasn't big, still like a beanpole really, just toned). I am 57 with arthritis starting to develop on the knees and wrists. Agree with you on different body types in different events.

You are beautiful as always but missed Paavo Nurmi and other Finns who dominated Olympics (and multiple world records) back in 1920-30`s in running.

yes, Lewandowski is polish

Who is this beauty ?

Armand Duplanski is from sweden

If you don't mind me asking, where and what did you study at university?

Yes, Lewandowski is Polish.

👍

What if any sports did, or do you play / compete in? If you don't mind me saying that you're looking lovely as always, I like your top /jumper / sweater.

I miss Al Bundy's 4 touch downs in one game😊

Book: The Talent Code - Daniel Coyle

All the records in athletics that are older than 25/30 years have only one name: doping.

4:44 ... shot put.

The ski jump record was just broken (by a lot), but out of competition, in a red bull sponsered event. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ngddfxog-yw.html

Shot put.

The one record that doesn't impress me is the long jump. I feel like I can jump further. I feel like I *have* jumped further. I should have taken it up.

Colombia and Venezuela have been dominant in women's triple jump for the past ten years. Some, in my opinion, better (and funkier) Nigerian music: William Onyeabor - Better Change Your Mind: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u7kaOntQbsw.html Fela Kuti - Zombie: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Qj5x6pbJMyU.html (Not to be confused with The Cranberries' excellent song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6Ejga4kJUts.html) Some very different West African music - by pygmy musicians from Camerun.

You’re stunning!

Take longjump. Bob Beamons record is way more impressive. As a pole vaulter Bubka is more impressive. He never tried his best but just improved the world record by centimeters to earn prize money. And in the case of javelin Jan Železný stands out. It is weird someone made this video without mentioning Jan Železný

Isinbayeva record will stand as well as Duplantis record and Edwards record. In real football Lewandowski's record will stand for a long time.

Hello 😁

Inessa kravets no longer holds that record. It's Yulimar Rojas at 15.74 meters set during the Tokyo Olympics.
