The 1968 Olympics were epic lol so much stuff happened😂
-
Imagine being Bob Beamon sitting in front of a television hoping that no one breaks the record you set half a century ago...that must make you feel incredibly powerful
-
5:32 Lady wore clout goggles years before it was popular. Truly a game changing moment at the Olympics
-
That US bball team ain’t even fair🤣🤣
-
Imagine owning the rights to the live audio feeds from the stadiums these clips are taken from and instead choosing some radio rock and roll.
-
Phelps is one of the greatest athletes of all time.

This is a good list. But I want to add some, at least as honourable mentions : 1. Jesse Owens's winning 4 gold in track and fields in Berlin 1936. This inspired Carl Lewis to achieve the same in Los Angeles 1984, something Usain Bolt could not do. 2. Mark Spitz 7 golds in Munich 1972. This is what inspired Michael Phelps to do his thing in Athens 2004 and in Beijing 2008. 3. Johny Weismuller in 100m free at Paris 1924. He was the 1st man to swim under 1 minute, i.e 59.0 secs at Olympic, although he had done it prior to the Olympic with 57.4 as the WR.

Nadia not only hot a perfect 10 ,she got a perfect 10 four times in a row. This is absolutely mind boggling

Glad that they are postponing the Olympics for next year. Besides, it might be good for the athletes to train even harder and make history in the making.

How come nobody talking about the flop. That seemed the most impressive to me...completely changing the sport.

Why couldn't teams bring their professional players to the Olympics? Then how can you decide who is the best if you can't bring your best??
-
Incredible people
-
I so glad to you, Michael Phelps.

How about Steve Redgrave winning gold at 5 consecutive olympics in an endurance sport? That was a huge deal
