[@sweetandsoursoup]

It’s awesome seeing so many coaches so quickly rising to help rival athletes. It never gets old to me. 🥺

[@kamyagupta4030]

Yes ❤️

[@scz1770]

Okay but Derek Redmond and his dad absolutely made me cry. His physical and mental pain is so evident, and his dad jumping in straight away to help his son finish. I can't T_T

[@reginal.898]

I saw Derek Redmond in a "Celebrate Humanity" commercial, but until today, I had no idea about the full story, and it blows my tiny little mind. Wow. Just... just wow.

[@madabbafan]

Then the officials kicked him when he was down and disqualified him

[@lukew1383]

That gets me every time I see it. First, for Derek to work that hard and come that far to have your body break when you need it most is the ultimate kick in the pants (plus I cant imagine the pain of snapping your hamstring!!!). But then having your dad come out to support you on the largest of stages, to be that solid rock to lean on like he probably has been for Derek's whole life, is a amazing thing to have. That's what a great parent is. That's what I tell myself every day when doing things for my kids. Be like Mr. Redmond.

[@dandygirl6]

the spliced medals tho, that is so dope

just saw a new one to add to this collection, the two high jumpers just decided to share gold with their tie.

[@ajiteshpandey6209]

Yaa that was terrific

[@aditisk99]

Yup he was soo happy 😍

[@funfuz]

Also loved that Abdi Nageeye encouraged Bashir Abdi to not give up in the final stretch of the marathon, so that they could both medal.

[@drewschieman1741]

In the Sailing one, Lawrence was in 2nd place but gave that up to help the team

[@kamyagupta4030]

❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍

[@clairewinter2410]

One of my favourite stories is how the Australian Peter Norman supported Tommie Smith and John Carlos during their Black Power salute and suggesting they share the pair of gloves. Just standing there quietly supporting in solidarity, even though it would impact his career. I believe the Americans were even pallbearers at his funeral.

[@adkrgrc6786]

Thanks for the info thanks to you I just learned about that "Black Power Salute" I've seen people doing it for awhile but didn't know the story behind it.

[@Anlich]

The olympics are not fond of political statements if they are controversial, however humanitarian they may be.

[@mfanwelikeit3760]

He suffered greatly sadly.

[@Angry.Tomato]

After all there is something which is beautifully called as humanity 💜

[@kamyagupta4030]

Yes ❤️❤️

[@sladva1234]

At the end of the day, I think anyone from any country would be even more proud of their athletes for helping out others in need as opposed to finish a race for a medal. Under any circumstance. At least, I know I would for Canada.

[@marguskiis7711]

There was even an animation about that before Moscow80 where the future mascot Mishka helps everybody during the race and remain last. By the way, the referee was an eagle who decided Mishka will be winner of honor to be the mascot in the animation

[@miriamlevenson9430]

the woman who helped the other woman when she hurt herself in the track meet is a legend to me 💗💗

[@SarahB1863]

5:00 There is NO way they should have been running a boat race in that weather! What were they thinking?!

[@stephaniescott7809]

This video doesn’t mention one of the sweetest details of #7. Philip Boit and Bjorn Daehlie remained friends and Boit named his son Daehlie after him!

[@takyc7883]

These wholesome moments are my favourite part of olympics

[@Oshawatt]

Cross country skiing is a saint’s sport apparently

[@scz1770]

honestly so is track and field! Redmond, Hamblin and D'Agostino, Long and Owens, all track and field!

[@kevinmcdonough9097]

These people dedicate their lives to be the being the best of the best. They sacrifice so much to get where they are. It's hard to imagine giving that up, but their opponents are some of the only people in the world who've been through the same and they feel it. Especially in these individual sports where it's not us vs them, but each human against their mind. This is what I love about the olympics.

[@chorlauheung4920]

Medals are nice, but it is the spirit that embodies that which we call the Olympic Games!

[@jeetbehuria1257]

there is darkness and then there is hope...... with so many athletes coming up with so. much of positive energy there is no space for anything bad..... there is juat pure spirit sportsmanship and beautiful stories along with some. medals

[@jem_theelf]

Just as I said to my mum the other day, the world is full of kind people, but everyone fails to see this and only look at the negatives.

[@kamyagupta4030]

Yes ❤️

[@michaellayman945]

Despite the professionalism in today's Olympics, the spirit survives in its athletes. If this world can have some semblence of unity, it will only be through sport; mark my words.

[@bricology]

" If this world can have some semblence of unity, it will only be through sport; mark my words." That makes no sense whatsoever. No "unity" has _ever_ been achieved through spectator sports; the usual products are *rivalry* and nationalism.

[@aditisk99]

This should be updated with Tambieri jumping with happiness when he got to share 🥇

[@darkhorseash4337]

The Nshida and Oe one is so cute lol

[@stevencooke6451]

The Olympics are about being your best, which sometimes is not necessarily about winning.

[@bricology]

The Olympics _used to be_ about being your best, but since the 1970s it has mostly been about being able to commercialize one's wins.

[@akhilg90]

Shows that the beauty of sport lies more in the process than in the result. Its the grit and fun than the gold medal.

[@holdenmcgroin8699]

Its so beautiful to see that I wish Sportsmanship should not be only in sport but also in life

[@rimatiwari7535]

The last one was amazing 😍😍

[@madhugupta6016]

wow such moments fill u up with pride

[@Rahul-eh3rf]

Luz Long was a great athlete and even better sportsman, but that story never happened. Owens later revealed that it was all a myth, though Owens and Long became friends after the event and Owens would go on to be the best man at Long's son's wedding(Long unfortunately died during WW2)

With the Sara Renner one however, its more the fact you can hear him yelling to her whilst running with the pole that warms your heart, knocking his team out of medals THATS the Olympic spirit

The sportsmanship shown by Vanderlei de Lima after being pushed off in men's Marathon in Athens 2004 is missing from the list...

[@ITFNBiteBayKon]

It's truly a shame that the microcosm of the humanity in the Olympics where colour, religion, Nationality or anything else like that doesn't matter and all the competitors see each other for what they are, a human being that breathes the same, bleeds the same, hurts the same. It's sad we'll never have a world like this, but I guess the escape of the Olympics every 4 years to see acts like this can help that fantasy, help us dream, just a little.
