Imagine being Bob Beamon sitting in front of a television hoping that no one breaks the record you set half a century ago...that must make you feel incredibly powerful

The 1968 Olympics were epic lol so much stuff happened😂

5:32 Lady wore clout goggles years before it was popular. Truly a game changing moment at the Olympics

Phelps is one of the greatest athletes of all time.

[lexsoft]

This is a good list. But I want to add some, at least as honourable mentions :
1. Jesse Owens's winning 4 gold in track and fields in Berlin 1936. This inspired Carl Lewis to achieve the same in Los Angeles 1984, something Usain Bolt could not do.
2. Mark Spitz 7 golds in Munich 1972. This is what inspired Michael Phelps to do his thing in Athens 2004 and in Beijing 2008.
3. Johny Weismuller in 100m free at Paris 1924. He was the 1st man to swim under 1 minute, i.e 59.0 secs at Olympic, although he had done it prior to the Olympic with 57.4 as the WR.

Imagine owning the rights to the live audio feeds from the stadiums these clips are taken from and instead choosing some radio rock and roll.

Glad that they are postponing the Olympics for next year. Besides, it might be good for the athletes to train even harder and make history in the making.

[swiftieforever]

Nadia not only hot a perfect 10, she got a perfect 10 four times in a row. This is absolutely mind boggling

[miravanroose]

7:02 thé man in thé back couldn't believe his eyes...

[droido]

Im normal person I see Michael Phelps I click

[anikokoren]

Why couldn't teams bring their professional players to the Olympics? Then how can you decide who is the best if you can't bring your best??

[murasakino]

As a gymnastics fan, I was happy to see nadia's perfect 10 on here but I'm surprised simone's triple double wasn't on here. It created the first J(or K, whichever it is) element on floor. I guess that could also be counted as breaking records though instead of game changing

[pkingglazersout]

2:33 wait what is jens lehmann doing here isn’t he a legendary goalkeeper

[Leader-fqdq]

Olga korbut changed women's gymnastics forever. Girls all over the world wanted to be her. She should at least get honorable mention

[BrokeGirlFinance]

How come nobody talking about the flop. That seemed the most impressive to me...completely changing the sport.

[sammitchell]

How about Steve Redgrave winning gold at 5 consecutive olympics in an endurance sport? That was a huge deal

[lexsoft]

Michael Phelps is not the 1st Olympian who had most Medals at the same Olympic with his 8 gold medals.
Alexander Dityatin of USSR/Russia did it first in gymnastic at 1980 Olympic. He won 8 medals, although only 3 were golds.

Get rid of that hideous background music. Plus, it's far too loud.

[karendegenerous]

I must be getting old. I can no longer watch a race to its fullest extent, and read a caption below it at the exact same time.

You missed Almudena Cid at Beijing 2008, the Only Rhythmic gymnast in all the history who make 4 olympic finals and Evgenia Kanaeva at London 2012, the only rhythmic gimnast who won 2 Olympic golds
