Dan Jansen Breaks His Jynx To Win Gold - Lillehammer 1994 Winter Olympic

[@ENB1968]

After 20 years, still brings tears to my eyes. That one gold means more to Dan than 50 would mean to any other athlete. He almost slipped on that turn - Jane kept him up!!!

[@GamingTremor]

Wow, that music absolutely killed this clip. I hope whoever edited this has already been fired.

[@twolak1972]

A tribute to his NEVER GIVE UP ATTITUDE. BRAVO DAN.

[@darcybrummett7004]

After all he had been through I was so happy for him!

[@sunigameniem6284]

I cried after this race. I was/am supporter of the dutch skaters. The story of his career/life got to me somehow. As a little boy I was happy he had won the sprint. No dutch sprinter was alive then :-) So i had another hero. It is different now and I love the 'Mulders' Still it stays an 'epic' moment what Dan Jansen did. Greets Gnus

[@BigDaddy-xx1gk]

Tank gott fur speed skating, huh? Otterwise, you vouldnt haf anyting cept pot and chokolat. Yah!

[@kea070010]

What if you just put the original audio. They must be some commentators who are commenting on the event.

[@Totallyprecious]

Opportunities only come to those who never give up.

[@chrisg4584]

I loved Lillehammer! That was an awesome olympics. I loved Albertville too-that was so cool how during that time, they decided to change it, so there was a winter olympics in both 92 AND 94!

[@scoutz0rs]

I really appreciate this channel and all it provides for us, but I do think that the background music on these historical moments really takes something away.

[@danzig73079]

My favorite Olympic Athlete of all time.

[@Deadman7782]

I remember seeing this. All norwegians was happy he won.

[@skunkface24]

I remember it, too. I was drunker than a skunk in a hotel room in San Diego. Best way to watch the Olympics.

[@triciajohansen9295]

He is also Norwegian American. That could also be another factor.

[@michaelwhitfield7282]

Perseverance, D.J. was the greatest skaters of all time

[@tutemin]

I still have to wipe away some tears, 20 years after. Even though I was a Norwegian girl aged 13 at that time I still remember this like it was yesterday. I just had to google this when Norwegian TV showed this clip now during the olympics.

[@roelsiebrand7181]

Please get rid of the music.

[@TheApostate118]

The best audio is the Norwegian announcers. They went absolutely crazy. If you can find it anywhere it's worth a listen. This music is awful.

[@alyssakbunny]

I agree, I wish I could find the video again.

[@alyssakbunny]

Steven Sharp Wow, thanks for the link. Watching that put a smile on my face.

[@LorenzoRosso-g6e]

Probably (100%) the most deserved gold medal ever !

[@falkeye76]

Im STILL crying...so happy...norwegian guy

[@gurleenkaurmarok9142]

I AM SO HAPPY FOR HIM AFTER TRYING SO HARD!!!!🤗

[@aitaku100]

This is still the best moment of Olympic for me. This always reminds me how strong a person's spirit can be. Yesterday, Japanese woman figure skater, Mao Asada's perfect skating after her unbelievable failure reminded me this scene.

[@geekdiggy]

sometimes you almost fall down on your way to winning gold.

[@toddrf]

I remember being so happy for Dan when he finally raced the way he knew he could. One question...Dan's time in this race would have gotten last place in this year's games. Is the difference that the athletes are that much stronger now, differences in equipment, track ice, or other?

[@jeffreymoody8560]

Improved technology in both the equipment they use (clap skates vs traditional) as well as the way they train.

[@SweetSirenia]

And the suit technology as well. Everything about the equipment is so much better.

[@juliefitzsimons3882]

I love when it hits him that he won.

[@gurleenkaurmarok9142]

I know u don’t like the music but like... I SO AGREE!!!!

[@tradehead]

Atta boy Dan baby!!!

[@geekdiggy]

i've been a medical expert for about 18 seconds now and i can say with all certainty your spine is not supposed to look like a bent knee.

[@hannibalshade3084]

I remember watching this live at school

[@kevinbraden798]

I love happy endings!!!!

[@BryanMcSorley]

I totally agree!

[@Beargeek616]

Thank you for posting!

[@frogofnarvon]

Read the book Gap and Gain. It's writes a little about his story

[@estefanomarengo8244]

quien más está aquí por la inteligencia emocional de daniel goleman

[@keysjf]

Sorry not trying to sound negative but too many people think adding a music track to a video, which is a simple drag and drop thing, think that it makes them a movie producer. I watched this live in 94 and it doesn't need music. I agree with a previous poster the awful music kills this video

[@verdasium]

There were...But the olympics doesn't own the rights to the networks that were broadcasting the commentary so were stuck with this. It's better then silence...or is it?

[@subasan4798]

Smooooth as ICE !

[@lightingbolt8148]

So no original commentary?

[@jossiekabatra2109]

good music

[@pardonless]

On which TV channels did it broadcasted???

[@BigDaddy-xx1gk]

The Ocho

[@johnbrenner6380]

Music? Seems strange, doesn't fit the moment

[@andyc.4387]

Jynx is not spelled like lynx. It's with an i - jinx.

[@user-pk7zg1ly2k]

This music is horrible. Let us hear the natural sound please.

[@romcallis]

He shouldn’t feel bad. Every pro speed skater falls, even Sven Kramer

[@JansenP09]

I got my name from Dan Jansen (my first name is Jansen )

[@broadwaymelody33]

You did Jane proud.

[@newcheese8554]

Does he still eat pizza

[@scottmonroe68]

Just terrible. Why is the no video I can find of the full race with original commentator audio.

[@greenwolfegreen6028]

Pure silence would be better than this artificial sound. I dare not call it music.

[@dobermanguy9437]

Jesus Christ Lawrence Welk would have been better to listen to

[@matteastwood87]

steven bradbury was better

[@mikespleen1134]

He was such a sore loser before this race, his head would have exploded if he didn't win this one
