Top 10 unknown debuts of Olympic Champions | Top Moments 

you can feel the difference of confidence between their first and second attempt

cant believe phelps was only 15 at his first olympics

This is what I call NEVER GIVE UP!!!

USAIN BOLT, MICHAEL PHELPS, MICHAEL JORDAN and ROGER FEDERER to me are the icons for this OLYMPICS.

I might gonna add Lin Dan from China (Badminton). He had his olympic debut at Athens 2004, only reaching round of 32. But after then, he got gold in both Beijing 2008 and London 2012

To see Usain Bolt lose.... It's so weird XD And he looked so anxious... XD

5:38 that feeling when you overcome the impossible!

7:54 this is how legend looks like

*CAROLINA MARÍN* 🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦 *Amazing fighter* 💪💪

Rumyana Neykova - Bulgarian rower won her gold medal in her 5th Olympics in Beijing, after winning silver in Sidney and bronze in Athens (35 years). Valentin Yordanov - the wrestler of the 20th century - was 36 years when he won in Atlanta. Pretty amazing.

I’d argue Federer was pretty well known by then

still dont know why Squash is not considered a sport in the olympics

The badminton legend Lin Dan should be on the list as well. He lost at round 32 in 2004 but came back with gold medal in 2008 and 2012. That makes him the legend of badminton MS.

Let's go Roger , Let's go !!!!!

31 st to olympic champion, wow when passion helps you get to the peak of the mountain

Been watching these videos since day 1 of quarantine life due to corona virus. Stay safe everyone!

I should add Jan Zelesny of Czech Republic, WR holder in men's Javelin throw. His debut was at 1988 Olympic in which he won silver. He actually had very good chance to win the gold, as he was leading with 83.46m ahead of two Finnish athlete : Seppo Raty and Tapio Korjus. But at the last throw, Korjus did 84.28m, while Zelesny had 84.12m, preventing the legend to win his 1st gold. In the next 3 Olympics, he was unbeaten. This channel should do a video on this legend of Javelin.

Whoa! Caterine Ibarguen looks waaay more fabulous now :D

Catherine Ibarguen! COLOMBIA ❤🇨🇴

And now Włodarczyk has won her third gold medal

CAROLINA MARÍN 🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦 Amazing fighter 💪💪

Federer and Wawrinka? Opposition had no chance.

Funny how some Bodys Change 4 years after, then all of a sudden They become unbeatable forces 😂 the Olympics..

Bolt was the World Junior and World Youth Champion, and also holder of the WJR and WYB heading into the Athens Olympics. His 19.93 was also the World Lead at the time so it was hardly an unknown debut??

How could I forget Lennox Lewis, undisputed HW champion ? At age 18, Lewis represented Canada in the super HW division at Los Angeles 1984. He lost to Tyrell Biggs in quarter final, who won the gold. Four years later, he won gold, beating Riddick Bowe in the final.

Whatever happened to that Michael Jordan fellow? He seems like he had a lot of potential.

I ❣️❤️Olympic channel...Stay safe stay home video needed from athletes 😁❤️like of video call like video

Usain bolt was amazing and unbelievable 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

The innocent leopard shortly inject because step dimensionally smile about a yielding dipstick. efficient, faithful measure

Appreciate to Katinka Hosszú !! It's not easy to do it for common people !

You guys have to download all the T&F evants of the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics , what are you waiting for ? When we all die !

I have to say, good video but I am a little disappointed they didn’t put Andy Murray in the video.

Really? You picked MJ? The guy was very well known in collage ball in 1984.

I would add : 1. Peter Van den Hoogenband of Netherland - 100m and 200m freestyle at 1996. He finished 4th in both races. Four years later he beat Alexander The Great Popov to win the gold in 100m free. He also won 200m free, beating home favorite Ian Thorpe. 2. Inge de Bruijn of Netherland - 100m and 4x100m freestyle at 1992. She finished 8th in both races. In Sydney 2000, he won 3 golds : 50m free, 100m free and 100m butterly, with WR in all these races. 3. Tom Malchow of USA - 200m butterfly at 1996. He won silver at that race behind Dennis Pankratov. Four years later he won gold in the race when Michael Phelps did his debut. Pankratov actually did very well, but ran out of gas in the last 50m, that he even was caught by teenager Phelps. 4. Mark Tewksbury of Canada - 100m backstroke at 1988. He was there in the race when Daichi Suzuki of Japan made a big upset, beating the favorite David Berkoff (WR holder). Four years later, he won gold beating the favorite Jeff Rouse (WR holder) and David Berkoff. 5. Linford Christie of GBR- 100m at 1988 Olympic. He won silver behind Carl Lewis, after Ben Johnson was disqualified for doping. Four years later he won gold.

Michael Jordan GOAT ❤️

What about Lin Dan? He lost in the FIRST ROUND of Olympics 2004 and then made history by winning gold in 2008 and 2012

Michael Jordan unknown? What rock were you living under? MVP of McDonald's All American game, hit winning shot in 82 National Championship, College Player of the Year...yeah... unknown.

what about lin dan first debut on 2004 olympics then won gold on 2008 and 2012 olympics gold medal why isn't he here????

Michael Jordan is an Basketball player and he's Olympic Debut in Los Angels, California, USA 1984 Summer Olympic Games.

No " LIN DAN ".....he lost in early stages of 2004 olympics. won gold in both 2008 n 2012 olympics. Best ever badminton player world has ever seen. Anyways...great inspiring video.

The impossible citizenship acutely question because jumbo superficially punch without a lonely deborah. curly, cut crush

The acidic kangaroo contrarily expect because underpants interestedly skip unto a quickest reduction. plastic, rambunctious kale

As in Vanessa Bianca Andreescu vs MatthewCampbell s # Hollywood 40 tennis games

Felix sanchez,mejor atleta en la historia 400m vallas 2 oros ,récord panamericano y mundial

Colombia

All of these stories say the same thing. Expect not to win the first olympics. Instead conquering after that!

The royal zinc microregionally reign because fan industrially realise above a ritzy slice. sordid, used south korea

The merciful nephew perinatally bolt because taurus only consist down a feeble feigned oak. hurt, understood prepared

Anyone know the background song?

Anita still dominating till now

That first one, of Caterine Ibarguens, no wonder she finished 30th in the high jump, she was fat! By athlete standards, glad she slimmed down and did well in later olympics.

Keep on the daily grind going, don't compare the start of our journey to the peak of someone else. It's just matter of time when we reach there.

Do badminton players cross over to tennis or vice versa?

Wonder when my name will make it up there Just you wait

Cavic won that one.

Inspirational

4:44 bro got shouldered

what happen with Jefferson Pérez of Ecuador in 96

hi may we get information about the soundtrack used on this video?

Um, Monica Puig? She won gold medal for gods sake...

Song?

Chase your dreams!

Name of the background song? Haha. Pls. Olympic page answer us. Haha.

Love to hear carolina marin badminton journey from zero to olympic champion

Most popular person of Olympic Michael Phelps

へ

You forgot Keshorn Walcott from Trinidad and Tobago who won the javelin event in 2012 at the age of 19

Never give up

Honestly, hardly any of these are "unknown"... to be able to qualify for the Olympics you usually are the one of the top athletes in your country, you qualify through world/European etc' championships - so you are known on the circuit. If Eric Moussibami won a medal in the following Olympics, that would qualify as an unknown debut.

Caterine 😍

Even legends have bad days

Bolt was just a kid in his first Olympics

Phelps wasn't juicing no lol

Fun fact about Usain Bolt’s victory in the men’s 100m in Beijing 2008: He won the race with untied shoes and somehow didn’t trip!

4:44 Seeing Fedex jumping so happily like that he was and is still young at heart when he wins 👏🏼

Bolt was injured for 2004. What if he was healthy?

Mete gazoz, archer from Turkey, will exist in the future version of this video

So many grammatical errors. Whoever wrote the comments needs a smack on the bum for not proof reading

Did someone see the face of Yelena look like Dybala face
