10 Of The Greatest Olympic Moments Ever | Top Moments

[@Olympics]

We know there are more, so which other moments could make the list? We never rule out a part 2 (or 3, or 4)... 😉

[@DRACOFURY]

🥉Kurt Angle Winning The Olympics With A Broken Bacc Or 🥈Cathy Freeman victory lap with her Indigenous Flag waving 🥇 Peter Norman with his 2 brothers John Carlos & Tommy Smith at the 68' Olympics... Those wer sum moments for me. Y'all need Olympic Rings emoji.

Petra Majdic

[@MoriElayne]

Michael Phelps' 8 Golds from Beijing or winning four 200m IM Golds in a row over 4 Olympic Games.

[@lsggaming1136]

Yeah, Phelps, and maybe Steven Bradbury? Just a couple favorites!

[@kschlmnstr278]

Steven Bradbury

[@randiekay4994]

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

Why am I crying so much about it like actual tears

[@Matthew_Calmert]

She was lifting with him for sure

[@tormint5073]

almost cried in the middle of class

[@meganlopez560]

When dad ran onto the track to help his injured son I felt that.

[@mariehernandez5878]

It was the first thing I thought of when I saw the program title.

[@TheKBDestiny]

I cried super emotional to have your dad back you up

[@scarfacepug4844]

Feel this d

[@gf4453]

I cry every time you see this. The combination of physical and emotional pain Derek felt and the enormous embracing love his father emanated.

[@beckscharre7375]

And the fact that the father said something to keep him going to the finish line when they came up to help him off the track was honestly the Best part bc he would know an athletes pride in Olympics wouldn’t let him walk off without finishing at all so he helped get him to the line. Like that just shows he was proud of him to begin with and didn’t care if he won gold or was on last place. It was the fact that he did it to begin with.

[@hurtled64]

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

[@takyc7883]

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

i believe he would have lifted that weight even if hes arms snapped hes in pain from his wife dieing

[@ianwhite4821]

It was amazing. You can see the relieve and happiness when he did that lift. I have never seen it before and I didn’t know who he was before the video but I found it incredibly powerful. Great courage shown, showing the human heart was the strongest muscle on show that day.

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.... ❤️❤️❤️

[@waynehanley72]

Yep, Lamieux's act wins in my book. Saving lives is the tops of sportsmanship.

[@joeb1955]

Not only didn't complete the race, but gave up a medal to do it. Some people recognize there are more important things in life than a piece of metal. The man has his priorities straight.

[@rezhaadriantanuharja3389]

So many gold medalists are forgotten over the times but Larry Lamieux’s action is immortalized and rightfully so

[@penquin402]

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.

[@grousetheghoul2754]

402 : I think the Americans not being able to handle losing had something to do with getting pulled.

[@rainaftersnowplease3786]

@@grousetheghoul2754 They'd already decided to nix baseball and softball before the 2008 games started, via a secret IOC vote in 2005, but the real reason is that the MLB in the States/Canada refused to alter its season to make its players available, so they nixed both sports. And softball is being brought back for the Tokyo games.

[@TraceFaceTV]

A great moment for me is when Aly Raisman (gymnast) won the silver medal in Rio in the all around final (2016). She failed to medal at the 2010, 2011, and 2015 world championships in the all around, and she lost a bronze medal in London 2012 due to a tie breaker. She overcame so much, and she got it on her 5th try! She was better in 2016 than she was in 2012.

The Derek Redmond moment was sadder when realising he was injured in the previous Olympics too during the heats. It's so cruel that after 8 years of hard work injury denied him his moment in two Olympics games.

[@jluc9456]

Best moments ever in Olympics???? No mention at all of Jesse Owens??? I’m very disappointed!!! Just sad!!

[@ellenchavez2043]

There was a winter Olympic in the 1970s, where an Indian or Pakistani cross country skier participated. A camera followed him, capturing his challenges. A Swede won the race and the gold. The ceremony was held, flowers and medals were awarded. And the skier labored on. He was met at the finish line by the gold medal winner, who congratulated him and gave him the bouquet of flowers. One of the most profound moments. They did show a snippet of it in the opening ups of the Wide World of Sports. I can't find it anywhere.

[@christopherx7428]

Well, there are many great moments in sports. Two, to me obvious, moments on lists like these would be 1) Bob Beamon winning in Mexico with a jump that beat the old world record by 55 cm, or an increase by 6,5 % in one go. 2) The Soviet last second win in basketball vs the US in 1972, the first ever title lost by the US. And of course, there are plenty of great moment in the winter games too, e.g. the US win in ice hockey in 1980!

[@colleenross8752]
