That's the wrong German unification map. The one you used is from 1989/90.

[@trendymaths2467]

Good eye

[@Mara.Lea.04]

saw that too

[@abedc3390]

>Older than a light bulb Oh, you got me. :)) . The presentation on this video is good, very good!

[@mitchellphillips7086]

The "Foundation of Canada" was in 1867, not 1864!

[@elizabethcox1328]

Mitchell Phillips he’s right!

[@rockysquid1094]

The US didn’t look like that in 1841. The map you showed was in 1845-46. It showed Texas as a state while it was a Republic from 1836-1845.

[@christopherx7428]

Well, Germany and Italy didn't look like today at their unifications either...

[@caseysmith544]

The 40 year old Female to win Silver in London 2012 Marathon was impressive. Yep she was 40 taking second and the person in front she won by a wide margin.

[@Pandosyanna]

Who's the oldest Olympic athlete that did running

[@Justakilla]

Linford Christie and Justin Gatlin 36 years

[@Pandosyanna]

@@Justakilla interesting.

[@iancurtis4850]

You got the United States map wrong. Texas was an independent nation from 1836-1845. Although you did get the shape of Texas right which is a common mistake.

[@nautilusshell4969]

I see that Doris Day finished 16th in the ladies' archery. Well done Doris.

[@staffanrydbeck7158]

One of Oscar Swahn’s team mates was his son Alfred.

[@vods6747]

[@vods6747]

[@trendymaths2467]

You sure man? If that is your grandpa then congrats.

[@who9387]

The oldest Olympic participant was one WINSLOW HOMER who was entered by the USA in the 1932 Olympics at the ripe old age of 96, Oh and also he'd been dead for 22 years. A record unlikely to be beaten I think you'd agree.

[@who9387]

MyName Jeff - Wot what ?

[@Dervarengang]

No one beats good old legend Bjørndalen!

[@gradyrobson4643]

Canada was unified in 1867 not 1864.

[@christopherx7428]

The narrator keeps stressing that Queenie was the oldest gold medalist, but was she the oldest female participant? That Swahn was the oldest male one, regardless of results, seems likely.

[@realser9]

Merci pour tout 💖🌲 Joyeux Noël pour votre famille 😚🙌

[@janiyahthegymnast1014]

WOW.

Unification of italy was in 1861 not 71 ;)

[@lauraxxx6412]

[@gabriels1163]

No surprise that both these events don't require you to be in peak physical condition. I would be interested in seeing more about the older competitors who did more physical events.

[@vedanshnahar7077]

British were the only country in archery. *Laughs in colonialism

[@CrashHoax]

Lottie Dod is an amazing name.

[@krautgazer]

It reminds me of Diane Keaton in the movie Annie Hall - "Lottie Dod, Lottie Dod"

[@nathanielng1621]

Canada founded in 1864? 1867 get the facts straight

[@chrisholt2420]

No mention of John Coply who competed age 73.

[@adrianifteni5741]
