As most of you know the last man was the first ever in his country to go to the Olympics to swim being self taught he was expected to lose but at the start of the match every other player false started and were disqualified leaving just the man to swim, he ended up recording the slowest time ever in the pool but still is a inspiration to millions.
@@McMcPherson pools are expensive and a lot of places just dont have the resources for it (at least to a competitive level). guess in the US its just not many pools were built in inner-city/urban areas cus expensive af
2:14 I wish more people knew the context of Bradbury's gold medal. Bradbury was supposed to be eliminated in the quarter finals (he finished 3rd and top 2 advance) but one of the other skaters got DQ'd for blocking another skater. In the semifinals he was last of the 5 skaters and 3 of them crashed on the final lap so he took 2nd and advanced to the finals. This race was the finals. A guy who didn't have the speed to advance out of the quarterfinals ended up winning the gold medal. I mean that with no disrespect whatsoever, it's just the most incredible gold medal ever.
Also, also lets bear in mind, he used to be one of the best skaters, and had come back from a goddamn spinal injury to compete at those games. It was luck (along with a bit of tactics to make sure he stayed far enough back to not get caught, but be able to skate through) to win that final, but it was talent that got him to the games.
3:50 is "Eric the Eel" affectionately named by Australians for his epic journey to Sydney 2000 Olympics. Before the Olympic games Eric never swam in an Olympic length swimming pool. People fell in love with his struggles to get to in to the Olympics and displaying sheer determination to finish the swimming heath of a swim length he never done before by him never giving up, which is why people loved him, even though he only got up to qualify rounds. Still a champion to many. Look him up, inspiring bloke.
The last one actually has a hilarious story behind it. This guy taught himself how to swim through videos and in a pool that was around 15 meters long becsuse he was competing for a country that didn't have a swimming team. He didn't even know what the Olympics were before he came came to that competition...read his story on the internet, it's amazing
@@ZhuGeLiang6969 potentially another biker who may have collided with the biker or his estranged motorbike , the situation of someone being unlucky in each and every instance may not hold true , but I'm talking in a general sense here and it does hold true for the majority of the clips
Some people in the comments section asking about last clip, so let me tell you something about that. Aside from the fact that he got lucky that the others are disqualified, there is something remarkable and inspiring about that man. His name is Eric 'the eel' Moussambani, a swimmer from Equatorial Guinea who got a wild card at Sydney 2000 Olympics. He only start learning how to swim 8 months prior and only in a small swimming pool with only 3 hours of practice everyday without coach. Before the event he never even see an Olympics size swimming pool. At that time he asked other swimmer and coach about how to swim professionally and many swimmers and coaches tell him after they see how he swims that he's not gonna make it and they were right of course with that time, but he never give up and never disheartened to try until finish. Although he didn't qualify to the main event, he help set up foundations to other swimmers in his country. Fun fact, few times later he actually manage to get respectable time of 57s. Note : sorry for my bad English 😅
Yes lol, they only act like they're hurt when someone accidentally trips them or when someone runs into them. In this scenario acting like they're hurt wouldn't give them an advantage
Here is the event of the last one: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Moussambani In short, two of Eric Moussambani's (the swimmer) competitors jumped in to the water too early and got disqualified. Although he was too slow to advance to the next round because he was exhausted in the last 15 meters, he was still the winner of this round and made the slowest 100 meters freestyle swimming record in Olympic history by accident.
The shot only connected as well as it did because the opponent moved into it, which was luck. There's no way it would have been a knockdown without that.
he is Aaron Canet. He is a world championship rider. I am not a fan (and i hate him a lot). He was lucky. That circuit in Portimao is one of the most beautiful circuits in the world, and that part is also one of the most dangerous (usually riders don't crash there). He lost the front and slowed down the hill. In that part riders go down at over 200 kilometers per hour.
@@mohamedantar246 I think he actually meant to duck, you can see him look right before he goes down. Certainly still lucky, but these guys have inhuman reflexes
2:15 There are so many very important things to remember here. To finish first, first you must finish. To win GOLD at the Olympics, you must do everything just to get into the final race! Aussie Hero.
3:45 Context: Eric Moussambani from Equatorial Guinea, a country where swimming isnt at all common. He started swimming but had never even swam in a pool before. He got the slowest recorded time in Olympics history but still won bcus everyone else got disqualified
the motto for the SAS, "Who Dares, Wins", In an Olympic competition against the best of the best, where that gentleman "dared to enter for his Country" & thought yeah I'll give it a go! "The Cosmic Universe Took it's hat off to him", & said "Eric Who Dares Wins", You get what you got Good Sir!
0:57 reminded me of the comedy skit where the goalkeeper was able to block every shot taken with his face. Morale of the Story: In football getting hit in the face wins you the game.
