There are few things I would like to state at least as honorable mentions: 1. In addition to the Refugee Olympic team, the following countries won their first Olympic medal ever: Albania, Cape Verde/Cabo Verde, Dominica, and Saint Lucia. 2. Guatamala won it's first gold medal ever. 3. Algeria won its first gold medal in women's gymanstics ever.
It is necessary to mention the 5 gold medals won in 5 consecutive Olympic games by the Cuban wrestler Mijaín López, it is an unprecedented sporting feat.
How could you possibly forget Mijaín López? No other Olympian in history has achieved the accomplishment that he has. 5 gold medals in the same event, 5 Olympics in a row? That's simply legendary
Thing is there has been variations of it. Steve Redgrave from Team GB earned 1 bronze and 4 gold in consecutive Olympics in an event, changed to a 4 man boat and won a fifth gold the Olympics after. Michael Phelps swan at 5 Olympics so will have 5 Golds at consecutive Olympics. It shouldn’t lessen the achievement, but it does for the media.
It is a problem of wastewater management. Many small towns do not have a suitable treatment system, especially when it rains. A modernization plan has been underway for several years, but the Olympics have allowed us to move much faster.

Kaylia Nemour not only won Algeria's first-ever medal (gold on the uneven bars), it was the first-ever medal of ANY color for an African nation in gymnastics.
Julian Alfred of St Lucia deserves a spot on this list. Can't believe her achievement was overlooked here. This lady won her country's first gold medal in one of the most prestigious event at the Olympics. Also controversies and viral moments at the Games deserve a list of their own.
Where is Arshad Nadeem? His story is one of the most inspiring in this whole Olympics. It's disappointing to see such little coverage of athletes from South Asian countries. We need more recognition for their achievements!
A Belgian athlete Nafissatou Thiam also made history by winning three gold medals in 12 years in one sport. (I think it is in the heptathlon) I think she is the first or second woman to win 3 times gold in the same sport.
Sorry, but that's a disgraceful moment. Snubbing another gymnast just to make a moment political, should not belong in sports, which celebrates humanity from all across the world.
@@heydavid17While I understand your perspective, I believe that the gesture made by Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles was not about politics but rather about showing respect and admiration for a fellow athlete. The controversy surrounding Jordan's bronze medal should not overshadow the positive spirit of sportsmanship. By honoring Rebeca Andrade, they demonstrated that sports are about celebrating excellence and supporting each other, regardless of any competitive disputes. This act of respect contributes to the unity and respect that sports should embody.
@@yannyrocha5289 Then allow me to properly explain, and show you why I highly doubt that you understand "the" perspective. The problem with that moment is, that it snubbed our Romanian gymnast a moment of glory, which all athletes work so hard for. The Americans clearly showed no interest whatsoever, in being respectful, when they cheered over stealing a bronze medal that didn't belong to them, no matter how you conceive it. If we look past the inquiry that has now been deemed as void by CAS, then the Romanians should also been allowed their inquiry, which was rejected based on the same reasons now, because they both were submitted too late. Meanwhile, the other Romanian was penalized for stepping outside the area, which in fact, did not happen. Are the judges to blame for all of this trouble, absolutely! But, no matter how you look at it, then either one of our Romanian gymnast, whether it would've been Ana or Sabrina, would've come a top over Jordan. Team America is now complaining about fouls made by the judges, that was made towards both Romanians as well. Plus, the response online has been beyond disgusting, marking it as a "black moment", when it never should've been that! This entire situation was caused by the judges, that we can all agree on. However, what bothers me, is how the American gymnasts themselves reacted, ignoring how Ana might've felt after being misled like that. To even have a so-called "presidential candidate" to call that a historic moment on the podium, to use it as propaganda, which I believe we both can agree on, who didn't give a damn about, not to mention, most likely didn't even watch the event, to come out with such an statement. Jordan herself, now even pulling away from social media, and setting herself as a victim, after both our athletes had to stand tall, proud and supportive, despite what they went through literally right after the event had taken place. The rules in gymnastics is even ridiculous by now. I personally don't understand either, how Simone can even finish 2nd, despite she scored the greatest penalty of 0,600 points, but because she did something that was deemed "a higher difficulty" she is given an unfair advantage. She even failed her exercise in the same event, by ACTUALLY stepping outside the area with both legs... TWICE. It is beyond absurd, to even call her "the greatest gymnast of all time". She has never scored a perfect 10 even, and there are far more possibilities now, than there was back at the heyday of glorious gymnastics. To put it short, judges fully to blame, but the Americans acted far from great as well. Maybe a glorious moment for some, but with added context and then it's easier to understand, why it is far from that. Hopefully, I just described in a civil matter, why I disagree and which from my understanding, many Romanians would agree with (probably not all, I can't talk on behalf of people I don't know, but only from the understanding I've gathered regarding the situation).
Léon Marchand should be in this list with 4 gold medals and 2 in the same evening. Biles has won gold but she has clearly underperformed and should have won more. The 100m was competitive but clearly not the best race of those 2 weeks. The 400m men final was arguably the best race with an amazing finish.
Only 3 out of 10 are US. But “most decorated, female, American Olympian” is a bit too many qualifiers to count as a particularly notable achievement. Media in every country gets incredibly biased during the Olympics - I guarantee your country’s media does the same.
@@MJW238 "Most decorated American female Olympian" really isn't "too many qualifiers". Think about how many sports there are in both the summer and winter Olympics. Think about _how many athletes_ the US usually sends to each Olympics. Then there's the distinction of male or female. It's not exactly reaching or overplaying to have the label of most decorated American female Olympian. That's actually quite a feat, and with the number of medals she's accumulated in her career it's not anything to sneeze at regardless of country. When the phrase "the only one who has done it better is Michael Phelps"is included in your accolades, that's REALLY saying something.
You forgot to mention the Philippines' Carlos Yulo, who won 2 golds at gymnastics (floor exercise, vault), making him the first Filipino male to win Olympic gold.
Even more amazing about Mondo Duplantis is that the world record he beat was his own at 6.24m he set in april. He's been moving the world record nine times (including the vault that beat the previous record holder 6.17m 》6.16) in little more than four years. And he's only 24 years old! He is definitely the goat!
my favorite moment of Paris Olympics... that one male-gymnast(named Carlos Yulo), have won two GOLD-medals for the first time!!!🥇🥇 my other favorite moment, that during the opening-ceremony... is that one guy, is dressed like an Assassin(like from "Assassins Creed")!
How does Mijaín López not make this list!?!?! 5 gold medals in 5 consecutive Olympis games and then leaves his shoes on the mat. He is the only Olympian in the entire history of the Olympics to have gold medals in 5 Olympic games in the same event. That should have been enough to land him on your list.
A good job cleaning the Seine, really? Swimmers were hospitalized and sick afterwards. Also telling media they felt "things you're not supposed to feel" under water.
Skateboarding this time around was amazing; a real step up from the Tokyo games. I created on my channel a small tribute / time capsule to Skateboarding in Gaming recently; pretty cool if I may say so myself :)
My favourite moment of the Olympics was Jess and Noemie Fox sweeping the women's K1 events and Nina Kennedy becoming the first Australian woman to ever win gold in a field event. And also Ariarne Titmus becoming the first Australian swimmer to defend her 400m freestyle title and Kaylee McKewan defending both of her backstroke titles. It was Australia's greatest performance at the Olympics EVER!
What’s truly something is someone as impressive as Novak needing an entire career to complete his golden slam… Steffi Graf did the whole thing in a single calendar year in 88. The single most impressive display of dominance in tennis history.
Should have been top 20 list and only 2 out of the 10 where unexpected. Tom Piddock had a puncture and still won Gold in the mountain biking best moment .
Sorry but that was not the greatest hundred meter sprint of all time. It might have been the closest but the 2012 Olympic 100 m final was better. There were 3 athletes that went 9.7 or lower including Usain Bolt who ran the Olympic record of 9.63. That was the fastest 100m final of all time where 3 athletes would have beaten Noah Lyles.
I love how many people are bitching about this list being "all USA" with entries like the French river being opened for all entrants, the Turkish sharpshooter, the Brazil soccer victory, the Swedish pole vaulter, etc...
It's funny that an iconic surfer photo was shown how it was taken, but the breakdancing Ray Gun got only a photo shown to us and not her dance moves. 😆😆😆
You need to look up Lisa Carrington 3 gold medals. Broke an olympics record. 2 of her gold medals were consecutive from the 2020 games. Carrington equalled Danuta Kozák's record of winning all three K-1, K-2, K-4 events, over 500 metres, at one Olympics. She has also become New Zealand’s most decorated Olympic athlete with 9 Olympics medals 8 gold 1 bronze
@@el_barffseer30 My point is that the media from each country is overwhelmingly biased towards their own athletes when it comes to reporting on the Olympics. The NZ media is no doubt reporting heavily on that woman, while other places won’t be. At the same time, there will be people from other nations who achieved just as much as her who will barely rate a mention in NZ media.
@@MrConorobyrne85 Really? Because the game was pretty close & France could’ve easily won had Curry not been there, especially when he had 2 men covering him & still managed to make a 3 point shot. That’s not easy to do.
There were a lot of firsts for so many countries that deserved to be here. Also, swimmers and gymnasts naturally have the overwhelming advantage to win multiple medals at these games based on the sheer number of events they have in their sport.
Arshad Nadeem should have been on this list. First Pakistani medal in 32 years and raised the spirits of the entire nation. And a true underdog victory
Steph Curry golden dagger three points shot over two French defenders in the final men's 5x5 Basketball. It was one of the most watched basketball game during this Olympics.
Thank You WatchMojo For The Top 10 Paris 2024 Summer Olympics Moments. Noah Lyles, Simone Biles, Katie Ledecky, LeBron James And Hezly Rivera Are Added For This List Including The Competitive Shooters And Gabriel Medina's Levitation In The Same Paris Summer Olympics
Philippines' Carlos Yulo winning Gold (twice) in two Gymnastic categories (Men's Floor Exercise and Men's Vault). It was coincidentally great for Southeast Asia considering that this feat was achieved in line with the 100th anniversary of the Philippines first joining the Olympics (also took place in Paris in 1924).
Men's 200 race: Noah's statement prior to the race followed by his defeat has to be a highlight. That resulted in the first African gold medal altogether in those sprint races and the 4th world record being set.
I think breakdancing is or can be a sport. The amount of effort it takes to do some of those moves is incredible. It's a lot like gymnastics in some ways. You have to plan a routine and add music and perform. There should be some difficulty in it. I saw some of Raygun's other performances and I'm confused as to why she added and performed the way she did at the Olympics. She actually can breakdance from what I saw. I think she's just out of touch on what's current and popular.
the gymnastics with the balls and hoops and ribboins i dont get, same with synchronized swimming. FOr that reason too I dont get how they judge breakdancing. All of those come down to whether or not a judge likes you. Theres not a laid out list of moves and parameters. You dont get judged on your spinning on the head criteria. Trying new stuff is never a bad thing though. Someone needs to invent a summer version of bobsled!
honerary mentions: 1. when Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles bowed to Rebeca Andrade. 2. When the Israli Judoka Peter Paltchik won a bronze medal and dedicated it to his coach who came dispite his son falling in war only a month earlier
@@henrygalliher6574 apparently she had won multiple international tournaments from what I’ve heard but I still don’t understand why she did what she did.
@@darklord2157 she qualified and all, it makes one think if she was put up to it, maybe some people thought breakdancing was better off not bound by olympic standards etc?
For me, the first two events I attended. July 29: Finals in the last two individual Fencing events, including Women's Saber. France vs. France, hearing La Marseillaise in the medal ceremony. And the next night, Alex Sedrick, USA, ran coast-to-coast for a last-second try to grab the Rugby Bronze Medal out of the hands of Australia. The most dramatic moment I saw on TV: I would say the last second of competition of the Games: Women's Basketball Gold Medal Game, USA v France. France had a chance for a 3-point bucket to tie it at the buzzer... but the shooter stepped on the line and only got 2 points.
A Chinese swimmer broke his own Olympic Record in a men's 100m or 200m event. It likely got overshadowed by the whole "Chinese doping" controversy, but still a feat worth mentioning.
Julien Alford winning the first ever medal for St. Lucia should have been mentioned. She not only won a medal, but it was gold. Also, Sifan Hassan winning the marathon and getting bronze in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters was no small feat.
He did well, considering he had Covid. So, I wouldn't exactly call that smoked. What was ridiculous was that they allowed him to compete. He went up and congratulated others, which was a stupid thing to do. 0 IQ.
My favorite Olympic moment involved Norway's Solfrid Koanda, who won the 81kg category for women's weightlifting but somehow didn't realize it. When her coaches informed her that she'd won, she ran back onto the platform in incredulous joy.
The men's 4x 100m where Canada won the gold, despite the US team's over the top bragging they were going to blow everyone away. At the end of the race a US runner claimed he had covid and chest pains and that's why they lost.
I hit a DISLIKE option in this video Because they didn’t include the Pakistani 🇵🇰 “Arshad Nadeem” gold medalist 🏅who set a record of almost 93m Javelin throw which had’nt been done in 118 years its a record of the century yet wasnt included in this video
You missed the Algerian Women’s uneven bars: France wouldn’t let her compete because she wanted to train with her people; denied, she went to Algeria and took Gold. France wanted that Gold, DENIED!
Nigeria’s women’s national basketball team, D’Tigress, becoming the first African team (male or female) to ever get to the quarter-finals of Olympic basketball. Their coach, Ms. Rena Wakama, was named the Paris 2024 Best Coach, and aged 32 she is also one of the youngest coaches in Olympic history.
5:23 Not quite. Simone Biles is the most-decorated AMERICAN female gymnast at the Olympics with 11 career medals (7 gold, 2 silvers, 2 bronzes), but she still has a ways to go to catch Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina's total of 18. Even if she made the team in 2028 and won a medal in every event, she would end up with 17.
Yeah, I still can’t believe they didn’t give them AC, fortunately the Australian athletes were smart and brought some portable ones with them and they apparently shared with athletes from other countries.
"Brazil beat Spain in the women's football semifinal in a shocking fashion." No mentions about Argentina fiascos against Morocco and France? That's absolutely disgrace 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm all for changing the definition of a grand slam just to strip that title from djoko. F him, he's a terrible person with horrible morals. Seemed decent at first, but as soon as he gained any popularity, that was completely gone. Not to even get into the whole COVID debacle.
Unfortunately I missed most of the Olympics. I was busy working the whole time and I mean I probably could have tried a little harder to watch them but there were some things I saw and enjoyed. I did at least make sure to watch the opening ceremony and the closing ceremony and unlike the babies that keep complaining about being all offended over things that are not even offensive I highly enjoyed the opening ceremony. My wife was Catholic was not offended at all by what appeared to be the last supper performed by people in drag. I also appreciate that this video didn't actually bring up controversies. Just the cool stuff like that epic Turkish shooter. A lot of stuff I shockingly was not aware of that I wish I saw live but I guess I could look up highlights. Especially that 100 m race. Wow!
All ik is yusuf was just standing coldest out there with one hand in his pocket and sights set on target for a bang.... This things is way beyond winning a gold medal cz yusuf got tht aura of gold in himself.
