Nesty swims to an epic Gold Win in Seoul 1988 | The Olympics On The Record 

Today ,31 years ago,that nesty won and i'm so proud of him. Love from suriname!!!!

Le me put a little perspective on WHY my country went totally crazy over this win: 8 years prior to Nesty winning the gold medal we had a miltary coup..2 years after that 15 people who went against the military dictatorship were brutally murdered. There were several attempts by other groups to take over the control of my country. It had been a very tense political climate. In 1987 elections were finally held, but everyone knew that the leader of the 1980 coup could take back the country if he wanted to, so the tense situation persisted.... and the Anthony Nesty went to the Olympics and won the gold medal.... Can you imagine the release of tension -if only for a little while - in a small country that has been through a lot of pain in 8 years..?

I'm the Javanese from Indonesia. Hello for Suriname 🇸🇷🇮🇩

4:10 HI MOM!

My favorite series on this channel

Wonderful! I love it when small countries WIN at the Olympics.

he is so humble... to the tv, he said Hi Mom!

This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about; it wasn’t a mistake for Biondi to glide into the wall, he had timed it fairly well. It’s just that the Suriname guy timed it even better.

He said hi mom to the camera! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

There is even a Sporthall in Surinam that is named after him. Anthony Nesty Sporthall.

This channel should also produce a clip of Singapore Joseph Schooling (Swimming) too. He won Singapore first ever gold medal in Olympic record in the Rio Olympics. He should be also remembered for denying the Great Michael Phelps of a perfect clean sweep of 6 Olympic gold medals.

This puts the Philippines a country known for being a media attention craving country ..into its ultimate shame...as it was bested by a country that as the narrator has put it...a modest country...Suriname...wherein 90% of Filipinos don't even knew that such a country exist...I salute Suriname for being that humble nation...WHO DOES NOT CRAVE FOR WORLDWIDE ATTENTION...and that pure talent speaks for itself....and the whole world was compelled to notice this small country into its respectable recognition

I wish there is a movie about Anthony Nesty and Corbin Blue or Jordan Fisher would play him.

Looking at how they treated Nesty back in his home country is basically how Singapore treats Joseph Schooling LMAO

Nesty is the US Head Coach in 2024.

and 31 years later, a young guy from Tunisia did it the same way... lane 8.

ANTHONY NESTY❤

I just love a great underdog story! Especially when no one thinks he poses a threat! And then WHAM! Just when they think the prize is won, here comes that determined, hard-working, don't give up until you past that finish line underdog to take the gold!!!

BGM:What a Beautiful Jasmine, A Chinese song

That is Chinese music at the beginning. Please get it right

Oh, Seoul! 🇰🇷🤗

3:23 I think it was a mistake by Biondi, like the commentator said during 3:50 : Biondi decided to glide, instead of doing one more stroke.

I am born and raised in Trinidad 🇹🇹 sweet T+T is my country

I love this for him!

Actually, Biondi also lost the 200 free to an Australian swimmer, Michael Duncan if I am not mistaken. Still a terrific performance by Biondi despite the couple of silvers.

Grandioso reportaje

Interesante el video y su historia

✊🏾✊🏾🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷

Nice

This was a big deal. I can't believe in this long video they didn't show the entire race.

Why Chinese background music is playing? Lacks of Asian culture understanding

روعه واصل

请把背景音乐茉莉花换成阿里郎。 Cheers

back ground music is not korean traditional music. it is chinese

Brother you know this is a Chinese song right?

🇸🇷 🇸🇷 🇸🇷 🇸🇷 🇸🇷

Stop using Chinese song...

I like to swim 🏊🏊🏊

Wow

黒人選手で初の競泳オリンピック金メダリスト。

Top!

It's strange that the medals used in the thumbnails are from Sochi 2014.

✊

Why do you use the Chinese song at the front of this video? Seoul Olympic was held in South Korea. How ridiculous IOC don't know Asian culture and don't check their works.

Вот что это за касание было? ладно хоть на пьедестале остался

*CLICK* NOICE!

First came Matt Biondi ,then came Michael Phelps. Next me?

First

Third

*stereotypical Japanese music*

In America, we don't get shocked or excited about winning... Because we're used to it! But then again, I don't know how I'd feel if I lived in a small economy like Suriname. I'd probably lose my head for the best. Just saying.
