You forgot cuban Mijain Lopez winning 130kg on wrestling for the 5th Olympics in a row at his 41 years old.

[rafikgermany]

you forgot to include Kaylia Nemour the 17 year old gymnasts which was banned from French team just for her to switch to her orgins country Algeria and win the first gold medal for an African nation in the French Olympics

[gianniskopdakis]

Very American perspective as expected but you guys should try and be more objective. For example the man from Cuba in wrestling that has won 5 gold straight while being 42 yo.

[DanReyesB]

Wait. No Dr. Raygun?

Simply outrageous.

[karenangela]

The athletes on the list are awesome but it would be nice if you added Carlos Yulo from the Philippines. He got Philippines the second and third gold ever in history for floor and vault gymnastics. He's amazing!

The turkish shooter was insane. He got the most individual points without any assisting gear, lost because the competition was a teamsport.

[Mac_N_Cheezy]

As I expected before even watching the video, 0 East Asian athletes. Japan and China had athletes with multiple Gold Medals and breaking world records with no mention at all.

[InvictusSolDeus]

The fact that Mijaín López, the first athlete to win five gold medals in six Olympic Games, is not given even a single honorable mention shows how biased this video is. If he were American, Watchmojo would be given him all the attention in the world, but since he is Cuban, he is ignored in the most vile way.

[alie_thevampire]

china has the most amount of gold medals same as US but not a single mention of chinese athletes?

Julien Alfred Of Saint Lucia Notches Her First Gold Medal. A Cinderella Moment In The Paris 2024 Summer Olympics.

[WizardOfOss]

No mention of Mijaín López winning his 5th consecutive gold medal, the first atlete in Olympic history to ever do that? No mention of Harrie "Hattrick" Lavreysen winning three gold medals on the cycling track (after already 2 gold and 1 bronze in Tokyo)? No mention of Teddy Riner, one of the greatest judoka of all time? No mention of either Femke Bol who more or less single handedly won the mixed relay and silver at the 4x100, nor of Sydney McLaughlin, who we all hoped would have an epic battle with Femke at the 400 hurdles, but just was in a league of her own with an amazing WR? No mention of Ethan Katzberg, who just was the coolest dude demolishing the competition? And no mention of Raygun, for being, well, Raygun?

Mijian Lopez (Cuban Wrestler - 5th straight Gold Medal), Zheng Yufei ( Chinese Swimmer - 6 Olympic Medals), Femke Bol (Dutch Sprinter - 1Gold, 1Silver, 1Bronze), these are just some of the athletes that didn't get a mention on this video, shame on you WatchMojo, shame on YOU!😱🤬😡💩

[rspwnzel]

As a Canadian, I couldn't be more proud of Summer McIntosh. Another Canadian that made me super proud this Olympics was Christa Deguchi, first ever Gold medal in Judo for Canada.

[vanvatan]

You forgot that chinese gymnast teen who was shock seeing the italians biting their medal and then she just followed them.

[geraldarquizal]

Hey you missed the first double gold medals of the Philippines in gymnastics Mr. Carlos E. Yulo.

[positivefreedom]

literally no one outside the usa thought simone biles was #1

[Justininja]

What’s wrong with you guys ? Not including the wrestler who won his 5th gold at his 5th Olympics, no one has ever done this. Be fair with your ratings. If you want to be taken seriously, than take this seriously.

[claytoncoetzee]

Not surprised at all that your focus is on USA, open your eyes, there are many other countries who should be mentioned here. South Africa, New Zealand, Cuba & Philippines to name a few.
