[@MrPLittleton]

I've saved this video in my favourites and have watched it many time since the Paralympics. I love watching it, mainly because of that amazing bust of speed by Oliviera but also because of the ridiculous biased comments made by those amateur commentators who never even mentioned Oliviera's name until after he had crossed the line.

[@Sofistacation]

"came out of nowhere"... "crazy burst of speed, who knows where that came from". Unbelievably awful. The speed came from training hard, maybe?

[@JD-lz2uq]

Actually he did come out of nowhere, and it was an incredible burst of speed. To say either of those things is not biased commentary. It was a truly remarkable performance and comeback, the commentators acknowledged that

Agreed. As someone from the same city as Alan, I feel disrespected.

[@OfentseMwaseFilms]

The Brazilian silenced everyone. lol

[@sibusisosibiya7429]

He came out of no where lol

[@JonatasAdoM]

KKKKK O silencio constrangedor depois da prova foi o melhor! Ninguém tava acreditando! Muito boa Alan Fonteneles, ganhou a prova mais importante das Paraolimpíadas de 2012!

Are these commentators serious??? "Pistorius will win....I'm going to go out on a limb...." *facepalm"

[@frankleymarlyson8286]

Incrível, inacreditável! As reações falam por si só desde o público ao narrador que acreditavam somente no Oscar. Alan ensinou que devemos estar preparados e atentos para que possamos obter uma vitória digna.

[@williangoncalves5286]

Parabéns Alan Fonteles Cardoso, você é uma inspiração para os brasileiros.

[@laertetos]

Alan Fonteles is a legend!

[@ricardoolhoaberto9340]

is funny to watch this video, because the brazilian made a good suprise, even suprising the speaker, i bet the speaker was looking for Oliveira's name as he show up from nowhere

[@CienciasGerais]

The narration was ridiculous! BRAZIL!

[@coldcalifornia]

Ok...

[@LeoDeAvila]

This is way too good! Can't stop watching it! The 2 Bozos (journalists) skip Oliveira during the intro and couldn't even pronounce his name when he crossed the finished line. That was certainly the most embarrassing moment of their professional careers. Love it! :) Congratulations to THE greatest paraolympic runner of all times: Oliveira! Attaboy!

[@marciojefferson4442]

Obrigado Alan!!!

[@ralucagymnast]

An incredible and UNEXPECTED victory for the young Brazilian guy here. Amazing "second wind" in that last 50 metres by Oliveira!!!! How the hell did he find so much extra in the tank lol???

[@natuba]

Comentarista! Nunca mais vai esquecer do Alan! e tb, ira anunciar todos!!

[@gudias8773]

alan fontenelle representou o brasil e isso serve de inspiraçao para todos obg fontenelle

Oscar is going.. Oooh wait! I love how the Alan Fonteles shut up the commentators! More respect from Brazilian Athletes next time!!

[@Schumak]

How to accept losing a favorite? Congratulations Alan Fonteles From Brazil !!! The world knew him now !!

[@alexandraacreator-art]

Just incredible 🙌💥

[@emanuellasm]

Emocionante o Alan hoje, a 5 anos atrás vi uma reportagem sobre ele, falando da dificuldade da infância e o sonho em ser um corredor, chorei como criança naquele dia, e hoje vemos o Alan ganhando um ouro numa olimpíada. lindo demais, parabéns, decepcionada com o comportamento do Pistorius, questionando a vitória do Alan

[@paralympics]

If you listen carefully, you can hear the whole stadium collectively gasp. Here is the most-watched athletics video of the London 2012 Paralympic Games #1yearon

[@alexandershakib2790]

What a comeback!

[@maucirzamberlancampanholi8896]

The way they ignore the Brazilian in the beginning is almost disgusting. Then during the race he almost ignore the win, a second before the end he still imposing his choice for Pistorius. A bit of ignorance and probably some prejudice involved.

[@FuriousGibbon]

I was just thinking the same thing. They introduced all the other athletes until they got to him and then it was like "Yeah, thanks for coming, enjoy the show" Well, Oliveira had other ideas.

[@caiofioravante6823]

jajaja is not "portuguese" At least learn how to create a bait.

[@luciocosta8155]

The British speaker Got screwed talked to much about others And they only got him he said the won he’s Brazilian

[@ATLCane]

cause he was a cheat. His blades were 6" longer than anyone elses

[@rogerroger8192]

@@ATLCane Do you think they put any blade without aprovement? The Blades was legal, if is correct or not is another history.

They read a tweet! Hahahaha! I'm brazilian and I was completely shocked when I watched this. And then, in the end, they say: "We waited all night to see the greatest paralympic ever and he gets beaten by a 20-year-old brazilian." So amazing.

Alan F. C. OLIVEIRA is now the world-record holder for the T43 100m and 200m. There's absolutely no room anymore for any doubts about his potential. In London 2012 he just began to show how great of an athlete he really is. I guess it's completely fair to say he's a paralympic Usain Bolt.

Racism my friend. Racism

[@edwigcarol4888]

Yes absolutely for the bio mechanic point, there is symetrie.. it is easier to handle out... How can a genuine leg and a smart designed prothesis work together? they have so different mechanical properties, they could possibly impede each other...

[@guitarlawyer75]

Alan is the real hero. We can't possibly understand the odds he had to fight against, aside not having both his legs. His parents are not rich and he doesn't have million dollar endorsements. He's a Brazilian kid and being Brazilian and a sportsman is incredibly difficult if you're not a succesful soccer player.
