The German weightlifter is my favorite. His wife died in a car accident a year before. He won the gold for her.

I wasn’t prepared to cry when the weightlifting one came up

I hated that after Japan won the gold medal in Softball they got rid of softball. I'm glad that it's being brought back for Tokyo. I knew Nadia Comaneci was going to be on this list. You can't have a greatest Olympic moments without Nadia.

When Redmonds father went onto the field to help him it made me smile. Nothing would stop him from helping his son. Huge respect for him

Larry lamieux saved 2 sailors instead of completing the race..Wow what an inspiration.. And the German weightlifter story was so emotional as he won the medal for her wife.... ❤️❤️❤️

The runner at the end.... TEARS. Can you imagine spending 4 years training/ disciplining yourself only to be stopped by your own body? Can you imaging the sacrifice? Can you imagin?

For my country (Indonesia) and I, it would be Barcelona 1992 in Badminton. Susi Susanti shedding tears on top of the podium hearing our national anthem for the very first time in the Olympics.. 😍

Sometimes best isn't always just best. When you know the story behind, best is bravest.

[gattikawekas]

the gymnastic comitte wasnt ready for 10 perfect point. the score board just shows 1.00, instead of 10.00 😂

[AbhikShome]

I was feeling depressed. This inspired me. Thank you Olympics!

That sailing one is both amazing sportsmanship and heartbreaking cause it never should've been up to him to help there should've been a better system in place
