Bolt is insane, he break an insane World record while he stop running 20meters from the line

[@ozwunder69]

Lol all athletes bar Carl lewis slow down the last 20 metres

[@XwD77]

StFidjnr If you look at the splits and compare it with Berlin- if he ran through to the line, give or take he would’ve done around 9.60-9.62 here.

Such a human story. It is what we always strive for when we have these competitions. We all want to root for our country, but sometimes athletes and their stories are compelling. Love that about the Olympics. It’s cool to see the feats of Phelps and Bolt, but than to see the human side just touches us all.

If Steiner's story doesn't bring a tear to your eye, you have no soul.

[@ricetickles7077]

Matthew steiner has to be one of if not the most amazing stories of the olympic's history, watching the full documentary they amde on him was beautiful

[@sivyerpan4724]

Bolt was so confident, he definitely knew he rules the game, and for more than a decade

[@lostchildtales]

Beijing Olympics will always be my favorite : 1. Phelps's record 8 medals - unreal ♔ 2. Lightning Bolt stunning the world ⚡ 3. Roger Federer winning Olympic Gold with compatriot Wawrinka 😍❤ 4. Leo Messi's Argentina winning Olympic gold 😍🔥 5. Yelena Isinbayeva's astonishing pole vault world record 😍🔥 6. And finally India's first ever individual Olympic gold by Abhinav Bindra 🔥✊🙏 BEST OLYMPIC EVER 🙌🙌

[@annapavfan4680]

I think the Women's Gymnastics Chinese team winning gold was another memorable moment. It was their first. But the AA was certainly spectacular to watch.

[@chriscountry2437]

phelps broke 7 world records, and won 8 golds..... and it was also Beijing where he became the greatest olympic champion of all time. You're telling me Usain Bolt's performance was better?

[@sorucha8249]

sprinting>swimming

[@1966bluemax]

He had extra points because he’s black

[@alphaomega1459]

Swimming and sprinting is different. you cannot simply say one is better than the other just based on the number of gold medals.

[@verward]

@@alphaomega1459 what? Usain Bolt had two great days of performance during the Olympics. Michael phelps had to faultless during every day of the Olympics to get where he got.

[@charles3256]

I think its how usain bolt won that race...

[@lahoucinebenbihi227]

Beijing 2008 for me is the best olympic games in history

[@waterproof4403]

💜

[@beiliveme1]

Phelps won 8 fricking GOLD medals in those games, in 7 of them he also broke a WR. As stunning as Bolt 100m run were how is that even comes close to Phelps achievement? And for all of those who say that its easy to compete in many events in swimmings how is that almost every top class swimmer competes at most in 2 events and usually in 1 single stroke? Cuz its almost impossible to be that good at those levels in so many different strokes and distances, but Phelps managed to make the impossible possible and for that he absolutley deserves the 1st spot on this list.

[@itclientservices]

Bolt did 3 events and broke world records in all 3. As for the amount of events, it's literally impossible to be good at more than 4 distances, let alone world record breaking level. In running you have two types of muscles that help, fast and slow twitch muscles. Overtrain one of those muscles and the other suffers. But, if you want to do multiple distances, you're going to need a combination. However, if you do this, you won't have enough of either group, meaning you'll do worse than your competitors. That's why you only see people doing well in 2 events that are a significant distance apart (such as Bolt with his 100/200, Johnson's 200/400, Bekele's 5k/10k).

[@dothedeed]

You answered your own question. Swimming has lots of strokes over short distances plus multiple relays resulting in 4 times the number of events. The risk of injury is lower since the water supports the body and there's less force on the joints.. Plus 'swimmers bodies aren't as specialized to each event as runners. A Long distance runner is super skinny but a sprinter is muscular. To get 8 medals in track you'd have to run 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, 5000m, 10,000 and a relay. No way to do all that. Would tear muscle and be too exhausted to complete the heats.

[@emilybluntt4473]

I cried for the German weightlifter,

[@stephenpetit9468]

You're nuts Phelps was the story. Bolt was amazing, Phelps was legedary.

[@Deborahtunes]

Definitely. Phelps has the most gold in one Olympic game. It doesn't get any better than that...

[@nestoremmanuelaltamiranoga6058]

The best summer olympics EVER!!! Perfect organization, the sports stars like Phelps, Bolt and Isinvayeva, and the spectacular opening and closing ceremonies!!! Congratulations from a mexican's olympic fan!!!

[@aureliofeldman2294]

Great video! Bolt´s performances in Beijing were the highlitghts of the games! Yes, Phelps won 8 gold medals, but Bolt dominated the sprint events like no other athlete ever. 2 individual golds with WR and a relay with another WR. Perfection!

[@ollie1804]

Aurelio Feldman Phelps dominated nearly every race he competed in. He won eight gold medals with world records in 6 events. That sounds like perfection to me. Also, the two most intense and impressive wins in the history of swimming and sports in general imo belong to Phelps, beating France in the 4x100 relay and beating Cavic by .01 seconds.

[@bellamendes2001]

fhjtyh fghghfh I agree with you. Michael Phelps is my idol for I am a swimmer myself. He is the most decorated and/or has the most medals in history. Can you believe how many Olympic and World records he shattered? And he beat Mark Spitz who used to hold the record of the most medals by any swimmer with 7 gold medals. Michael surpassed it and got 8. I don’t think anybody would be breaking that record for so long. Yes, Bolt is really good but Michael is a legend.

[@bennybenny825]

[@mykindoflove1900]

I would have included Matthew Mitcham, the man who stopped the all-gold medal chances for Chinese divers. That has been an incredible moment

@@undeterminedstudent3636 glad to see we watched the same video

[@alphaomega1459]

To all you guys saying that Phelps should have been first place instead of Bolt. You should understand that first, you cannot compare one's achievement's in sprinting to that in swimming purely based on the number of gold medals. While yes what Phelps did was out of the world, never repeated, his achievement in Beijing is defined by the 8 gold medals he won that olympics, not by one singular event. But Bolt captured the world with only one event, and he won it in such a style that will definitely not be repeated. So that's why the top moment belongs to Bolt, it shows so evidently how much better he is compared to the others.

[@ruseanfrancis2228]

[@joeyjerry2981]

I feel like the amazing comeback from the US team in the Men'a 4x100 free relay from Jason Lezak should have been included.

Usain and phelps are both incredible and the greatest in their own field of sport....it's no use comparing them...swimming an track is very different an if they both had the opportunity to do the other they may not be good at it because they both specialise in something specific.

[@zachtheyek]

So you're telling me a man who won 8 gold medals, broke 7 world records, swam 20+ times in the span of about 10-11 days, lost to a guy who won 3 medals? Aight cool

The way bolt finished the race was awesome. Like before even completing the race he knew he was the winner. Can Michael do that ? Nope. Never.

[@morrismartin2804]

@@kumarsaurabh3062 Michael Phelps was easily the supreme swimmer at that time, he knew very well that he could win every single race he swam.

Kumar, micheal could’ve easily gone slow at the end of most of his races and still break the world record/win. Plus he can’t celebrate like usia because he is using his arms to swim lol
