This is what Olympic games are about. No politics, no posturing, just pure human emotion and celebration of the things we all love about sports - competition and comradery. Strong bodies & strong hearts.
@@ftalker11 There is nothing political about countries in the Olympics. It's basically just informing what place you grew up in and what's your culture.
That’s what the Olympic Games is about, people from all over the world competing together just as athletes, no politics involved, sure there is pride at competing for your country, but they have always been about friendship.
@@chris4231 Apolitical countries do not and cannot exist. The Olympics is about national pride and the avoidance of war by sublimating such aggression into sport. If it were not, athletes could compete as members of their race or gender or religion or social class or their town of birth or their culture. But Japan has no Tokyo team, nor a Shinto one. Most athletes, instead, compete on purely national terms - terms which are inherently political - just as political, in fact, as your claims of the Olympics ever being apolitical.
The way his team hugged him after he made that choice, they were proud beyond his talent, they were proud of him as the amazing person he is. This moment is just pure gold.
I swear that italian dude was everywhere he was at the 100m sprint when Italy got first he was also at long jump and other events as well supporting everyone I love him
@Jock Nerd Geek why do u have to bring lewis into everything...fanboying over someone doesn’t require u to make a bad image of his rival...its sad seeing all the hate towards lew even though im a max fan..
Nedasekau missed the jump at 2.35 and raised it to 2.37 for his second attempt. While he did clear 2.37, the miss means he was already placed behind Tamberi and Barshim who both had zero misses up until the bar went to 2.39 where no one cleared it. That's why Nedasekau finished behind Barshim and Tamberi. So no, according to the rules Nedasekau should not be given a gold.
Two friends united for the love of their own sport. Didn't matter their religion and the color of their skin. A beautiful message that they spread. Both of them have the heart of gold and deserves their gold.

Both getting gold is an example of sportsmanship?? One giving up gold and accepting silver would be, but both getting what they wanted? Sportsmanship? 😂 Yes, amazing...
@@enriquee.m.6706 they were tied and decided to share the win instead of going for the jump-off. They were tired, beat up and settled for the equal first place. These two guys have been competing against each other for years, and they're friends. Why so bitter? Have you not ever won in your life? Are you stressed out? Do you need someone to talk to? Chill child, chill.
And which message is that? If you have the option for both to get gold by stoping or the option to keep competing and one gets silver and another one gold. Choose the one you don't need to do anything else and both get rewarded with the maximum score? That is amazing message to humanity!
The first 10secs of this video almost brings me to tears. Barshim, being the best for years, take the initiative to share. They both, in a split second, understands the beauty of the situation. Tamberis uncontrollable joy together with Barshims smile. The official, starting to explain but backing off when he sees how these two create history in front of him. This is just so beautiful. Am so happy that we humans create also moments like these, and not just problems and crises.
@@DirtyPoul Lol what? His origin is Sudanese, a Sudanese born and raised in Qatar. Also, he was raised by his parents, who clearly instilled in him these core values, I don't get your point.
@@statixfall8799 He got two olympic golds in half a second, so having two passports and being both Qatari and Sudanese should be easy peasy for him. Stop fighting...
@@statixfall8799 My point is that I disagree with you. You're not from where your parents are from. You're from where you were born and grew up. He's Qatari. As Qatari as you can get. I'm not even sure his parents are Sudanese at all. Wikipedia just states that his family is "of Sudanese descent", so even they could be from Qatar as well. You could say that I dislike the idea of someone being said to be from where your parents or grandparents come from. To me, that's like saying that someone like Barshim is not a real Qatari. That he is somehow less of a Qatari than those whose heritage is Qatari.
One of the Olympics history greatest moment, especially when you take into account their personal stories how they came to that moment. Barshim, one of the greatest jumper of all time chasing gold that he is missing and Gianmarco, great talent who suffered horrible injury and who was kinda underdog at this competition. Just beautiful. And on top of that they are truly great friends. I will priveleged that i had a chance to watch this live.
Commenting here now. Others gonna come back to my comment after years. What a proud moment to see this happen live. That's, for me, the best moment of Tokyo 2021 Olympics.
Fair enough. To those few people who think this shouldn’t be allowed you have to bear in mind that both of them had already failed 3 times to clear the same height. Why have a jump off when they’d effectively already had a jump off when they tried, but failed, to clear the same height? It’s clearly a tied result.
this just remind everyone that athletes are competitive people who work very hard to achieve their goals, sometimes people are overly focused on the Olympic medal tables and forget that behind every single medal won or lost, there are real human beings that worked extremely hard to reach for the medals. the athletes that didn't win anything are often forgotten, and the athletes that won everything in their traditionally skilled events are often treated as granted as if they didn't have to put in any hardwork at all.
Decades from now, this will be remembered as one of the greatest moments in Olympics history. Congratulations to both of you. Thank you for inspiring all of us.
Living in the era we live in, I would say in 1-2 months no one will remember this. The same way most of the people don't remember any moment from other Olympic games. We constantly hear and watch things that impress us, but we only remember the huge stuff that happens, this is definitely not an example of a huge thing. Tomorrow evening i will have forgotten about it.
This overwhelming moment of pure joy of the italian is one of the most satisfying things I ever saw. A real moment of beauty giving me goosebumps. I like that the video is instantly starting with this moment and appreciate the words of both men and their friendship.
This was the best night of the Olympics: this amazing moment from such an intense High Jump competition, Rojas setting an amazing world record in the Women's Triple Jump and a shock Italian win for the Men's 100m final. Amazing night!
As an Italian August 1st 2021 is the craziest day ever in our sports history. Two of the heaviest gold medal in the Olympics both for us and this wonderful story between two friends that reach their goal and share the victory. You can't ask anymore after that, but the 4x100 relay decided to write history again and take another gold, oh boy these are days impossible to forget 😍
@@SiegNico let's not forget Berrettini who lost the Wimbledon final... like this summer we felt on the top of the world (olympics, tennis, eurovision, european football championship)
This would be something to remember years to come... Such an iconic olympic moment. Thank you for bringing the unity in sportsmanship. It is so inspiring for young athletes. Love ❤️ from Malaysia.
For me this is and will be one of the most memorable Olympic moments of all time! Pure sportsmanship from two athletes who gave their all and then some!
This was the most beautiful moment of these Olympics. Just a reminder how cooperation can lead to powerful positive emotions. Something we truly need in this dax and age.
The resilience and the humanity shown through sport during a pandemic we are all experencing. Amazing moment and really captured this olympics new motto adding the word "together" :')
I followed this competition from start to finish. I was impressed by both athletes. The Italian guy's reaction was just delightful.......true spirit of the Olympics.....🇮🇹🇧🇭
Usually I kinda dislike those feelgood stories bc they seem so fabricated. But this time, having followed their careers as a fan for so many years, I could feel how authentic the whole thing was and I ended up in tears while watching it.
Our greatest respect to both competitors, the reason we compete in sport, and the REAL reason so many of us who cannot compete at this level, or anywhere near it, love to watch such a wonderful sporting event is concluded with the ultimate definition of sportsmanship. This gesture and result will go down in history. Congratulations to BOTH gold medal winners! RH New Zealand 🇳🇿
This is what true sportsmanship is about. Two champs rounding it up with the Olympic spirit that serves as inspiration for generations to come. One of the best moments in Olympic history!
They both had allready maxed out at the max height and they were both exhausted so they agreed to share the 1st place and it made sense that they did i know the olympics is a stage of competition to Test your physical abilities against others but at the same time if they kept going they're no longer competing at their full potential since they were allready exhausted so a draw was in perfect order in that situation
You make it sound so complicated. Basically, their scores were tied at the end so they had to compete for sudden death. They both decided not to compete in the sudden death round. This way, they both take a gold medal because there are technically two winners.
@@Big-Papa-Smurf yes it is complicated because two competitors shouldn’t be able to make a decision to just both win gold lol what the he’ll is the it’s not a joint event it’s just stupid like two guys win gold for the same event
@@frankyfish9700 Its not stupid. Olympic games aren't a battlefield. There's no death. They won the game by completing all jumps. They both deserve gold. Easy as that.
Best news video I've seen in a very long time. Watched it 3 times and my cheeks hurt from smiling... So happy for these gracious gentlemen and their countries...
Chess haha. Totally understandable that when facing a world champion and in a case of a draw. That means the contender is not able to overthrow the world champion hence the world champion stays the same.
They went together throughout the conpetition and stayed together in victory. A jump off didn't make any sense and with their decision they became history and legend
This is the real sportsmanship. We are all humans and we can unite even when it comes to the first place the gold medal in the Olympics. Truly historical moment.
This is truly a beautiful expression of humanity as its best, China and US can foster similar friendship instead of being adversaries. We have many challenges in this world that we can work together on.
I'm glad I've watched the whole Men's High Jump competition and witnessed the whole Olympic journey of these two amazing athletes. Essa was so charismatic and so fun to watch and I was expecting him from Qualifying to win the Gold, but amazingly, this happened. I rememberd crying that moment when they decided to share the Gold medal. This is one of my favorite moments in Olympic. Thank You Essa and Gian Marco for the great sportsmanship 🇮🇹❤️🇶🇦

One giving up gold and accepting silver would be, but both getting what they wanted? Sportsmanship? 😂
Yes, amazing...
@@enriquee.m.6706 they were tied and decided to share the win instead of going for the jump-off. They were tired, beat up and settled for the equal first place. These two guys have been competing against each other for years, and they're friends. Why so bitter? Have you not ever won in your life? Are you stressed out? Do you need someone to talk to? Chill child, chill.
Then the medal should be divided into half, not two prizes.😏
He didn’t even let him finish his sentence.
“History my friend. Olympic Champions.”
RESPECT amongst Athletes.
It's a historical moment and gives a great message humanity
And which message is that?
If you have the option for both to get gold by stoping or the option to keep competing and one gets silver and another one gold. Choose the one you don't need to do anything else and both get rewarded with the maximum score?
That is amazing message to humanity!
Message is, I dont wanna lose the gold so lets not jump about it, lets make a deal. Thats the message? What if 8 of them did this?
Then the medal should be divided into half, not two prizes.😏
This is what friendship means a bit of sacrifice and lots of happiness
The first 10secs of this video almost brings me to tears. Barshim, being the best for years, take the initiative to share. They both, in a split second, understands the beauty of the situation. Tamberis uncontrollable joy together with Barshims smile.
The official, starting to explain but backing off when he sees how these two create history in front of him.
This is just so beautiful.
Am so happy that we humans create also moments like these, and not just problems and crises.
They are the true sportsmen. Write their names in history with golden letters
Greatest Sportsmanship, should be written in History!
This guy originally from Sudan, and sharing and generosity is the core value of Sudanese, Mad Respect
Whatever so many athletes all over the world competing Olympic and they represent the host home country.
He's born and raised in Doha. So no, he's from Qatar. His parents are from Sudan.
@@DirtyPoul Lol what? His origin is Sudanese, a Sudanese born and raised in Qatar. Also, he was raised by his parents, who clearly instilled in him these core values, I don't get your point.
@@statixfall8799 He got two olympic golds in half a second, so having two passports and being both Qatari and Sudanese should be easy peasy for him. Stop fighting...
@@statixfall8799 My point is that I disagree with you. You're not from where your parents are from. You're from where you were born and grew up. He's Qatari. As Qatari as you can get. I'm not even sure his parents are Sudanese at all. Wikipedia just states that his family is "of Sudanese descent", so even they could be from Qatar as well.
You could say that I dislike the idea of someone being said to be from where your parents or grandparents come from. To me, that's like saying that someone like Barshim is not a real Qatari. That he is somehow less of a Qatari than those whose heritage is Qatari.
Official: We can continue with the jump-off
MB: Can we have 2 golds?
Official: It's possible, let me explain....
MB & GT : Yeah, we don't care :))))))
hahaha
Alternative universe:-
MB & GT : what???
Official trying to explain
MB & GT : Evererrrrrrr!!!!
The two decided that there are no better athlete between them but that proves that both of them together is the best.
One of the Olympics history greatest moment, especially when you take into account their personal stories how they came to that moment. Barshim, one of the greatest jumper of all time chasing gold that he is missing and Gianmarco, great talent who suffered horrible injury and who was kinda underdog at this competition. Just beautiful. And on top of that they are truly great friends. I will priveleged that i had a chance to watch this live.
Commenting here now. Others gonna come back to my comment after years.
What a proud moment to see this happen live. That's, for me, the best moment of Tokyo 2021 Olympics.
Best moment for sure 💯❤️
Backstory: They're friends, they both got injured, both trained to be there, this is true sportsmanship.
Fair enough. To those few people who think this shouldn’t be allowed you have to bear in mind that both of them had already failed 3 times to clear the same height. Why have a jump off when they’d effectively already had a jump off when they tried, but failed, to clear the same height? It’s clearly a tied result.
Aisa india ko bhi karna chahiye tha
@@jainmohakjain
Kis game mein ??
@Sompal Pundir
But Mary lost
How can she share a medal
If they fail then give 2 silvers not golds 🤣
Or shorten the height a bit.
Then strip both results.
They couldn't beat each other, so they beat the system.
this just remind everyone that athletes are competitive people who work very hard to achieve their goals, sometimes people are overly focused on the Olympic medal tables and forget that behind every single medal won or lost, there are real human beings that worked extremely hard to reach for the medals. the athletes that didn't win anything are often forgotten, and the athletes that won everything in their traditionally skilled events are often treated as granted as if they didn't have to put in any hardwork at all.
Really appreciate Him Who has Given Real Great message To the World 🌎 by Sharing Gold Medal 🏅🥇 With Other One as well
Decades from now, this will be remembered as one of the greatest moments in Olympics history. Congratulations to both of you. Thank you for inspiring all of us.
Living in the era we live in, I would say in 1-2 months no one will remember this. The same way most of the people don't remember any moment from other Olympic games.
We constantly hear and watch things that impress us, but we only remember the huge stuff that happens, this is definitely not an example of a huge thing.
Tomorrow evening i will have forgotten about it.
This overwhelming moment of pure joy of the italian is one of the most satisfying things I ever saw. A real moment of beauty giving me goosebumps. I like that the video is instantly starting with this moment and appreciate the words of both men and their friendship.
This was the best night of the Olympics: this amazing moment from such an intense High Jump competition, Rojas setting an amazing world record in the Women's Triple Jump and a shock Italian win for the Men's 100m final. Amazing night!
As an Italian August 1st 2021 is the craziest day ever in our sports history. Two of the heaviest gold medal in the Olympics both for us and this wonderful story between two friends that reach their goal and share the victory. You can't ask anymore after that, but the 4x100 relay decided to write history again and take another gold, oh boy these are days impossible to forget 😍
True! I watched it live. It was an awesome day for athletics.
@@SiegNico let's not forget Berrettini who lost the Wimbledon final... like this summer we felt on the top of the world (olympics, tennis, eurovision, european football championship)
A day no one is going to forget , where friendship won...
You live for moments like this. Better than gold.
True Sportsmanship spirit. I'm so glad that the Games managed to afford two gold medals for these fine gentlemen. They've surely earned them!
This would be something to remember years to come... Such an iconic olympic moment. Thank you for bringing the unity in sportsmanship. It is so inspiring for young athletes. Love ❤️ from Malaysia.
For me this is and will be one of the most memorable Olympic moments of all time! Pure sportsmanship from two athletes who gave their all and then some!
Memorable yeah!! But now everybody will want gold medal without prolonging event. How do you proceed?
Then the medal should be divided into half, not two prizes.😏
Why am I crying for this one .. I feel like humanity have lost so much solidarity for a long time and this moment through sport making it alive again.
Yeah!!
This was the most beautiful moment of these Olympics. Just a reminder how cooperation can lead to powerful positive emotions. Something we truly need in this dax and age.
Truly what the Olympics is about!
This is the core soul of the competition!
The resilience and the humanity shown through sport during a pandemic we are all experencing. Amazing moment and really captured this olympics new motto adding the word "together" :')
If only they didn't add it in broken Latin... 🤦♂️
Tamberi's happiness can be felt by everyone even beyond these screen . Awesome moment in epic edition of Olympic . Gonna miss Tokyo 2020.
2 Perfect Examples of Friendship and Sportsmanship 🥰🫡🇦🇺 Much Respect to You Both From an Aussie ❤❤
Thats the true "Sportsmanship" 😍
They not only wins the Gold,
Both wins our hearts too😍😍😍❤
Sport By Disney
I followed this competition from start to finish. I was impressed by both athletes. The Italian guy's reaction was just delightful.......true spirit of the Olympics.....🇮🇹🇧🇭
The best thing I have ever seen at the olympic games. Period.
😂😂😂 Nice joke
What nice joke kid @@braboi5372
Usually I kinda dislike those feelgood stories bc they seem so fabricated.
But this time, having followed their careers as a fan for so many years, I could feel how authentic the whole thing was and I ended up in tears while watching it.
I saw them hugging and jumping and crying when they both got the gold, i did not know the story behind it. This is gold.
Our greatest respect to both competitors, the reason we compete in sport, and the REAL reason so many of us who cannot compete at this level, or anywhere near it, love to watch such a wonderful sporting event is concluded with the ultimate definition of sportsmanship.
This gesture and result will go down in history. Congratulations to BOTH gold medal winners! RH New Zealand 🇳🇿
This is one of the best moments in Olympic history
Just melts your heart ❤
Salute to Bashim, true gentleman
This is what true sportsmanship is about. Two champs rounding it up with the Olympic spirit that serves as inspiration for generations to come. One of the best moments in Olympic history!
I don’t get how it was possible for this to happen but couldn’t stop smiling watching how happy they were
They both had allready maxed out at the max height and they were both exhausted so they agreed to share the 1st place and it made sense that they did i know the olympics is a stage of competition to Test your physical abilities against others but at the same time if they kept going they're no longer competing at their full potential since they were allready exhausted so a draw was in perfect order in that situation
You make it sound so complicated. Basically, their scores were tied at the end so they had to compete for sudden death. They both decided not to compete in the sudden death round. This way, they both take a gold medal because there are technically two winners.
@@Big-Papa-Smurf yes it is complicated because two competitors shouldn’t be able to make a decision to just both win gold lol what the he’ll is the it’s not a joint event it’s just stupid like two guys win gold for the same event
@@frankyfish9700 Its not stupid. Olympic games aren't a battlefield. There's no death. They won the game by completing all jumps. They both deserve gold. Easy as that.
@@frankyfish9700 because they had both attempted that jump about 3 times each and none of them got it. The most reasonable solution is a draw
if only the world could be so united like these.....
I watched it live, had goosebumps and cried!
This was THE BEST of this Olympic!
Best news video I've seen in a very long time. Watched it 3 times and my cheeks hurt from smiling... So happy for these gracious gentlemen and their countries...
Other sports: Draw? You gotta play more
This one: Can we have 2 golds?
Chess haha. Totally understandable that when facing a world champion and in a case of a draw. That means the contender is not able to overthrow the world champion hence the world champion stays the same.
@Mostafa Zain how do you know xd
@@dionel1388 there is draw in chess?
Wow
which sports? the ones that you can kick a ball not for sure sports in which you jump 2.37 meters. They could continue doing what? playing chess?
@@Ultra289 yep. most high rated game ended up in draw
One of the iconic moments of Tokyo Olympics. Actually that's what sports is. It is to show friendship, respect and love, not hatred 👍👍
Now this, this is what we called a *GOLD* moment
They are true champions in all aspects.... What a spirit.... Whole should will cherish this moment and learn from this..... Respect
They went together throughout the conpetition and stayed together in victory.
A jump off didn't make any sense and with their decision they became history and legend
This is the real sportsmanship. We are all humans and we can unite even when it comes to the first place the gold medal in the Olympics.
Truly historical moment.
This is truly a beautiful expression of humanity as its best, China and US can foster similar friendship instead of being adversaries. We have many challenges in this world that we can work together on.
I'm glad I've watched the whole Men's High Jump competition and witnessed the whole Olympic journey of these two amazing athletes. Essa was so charismatic and so fun to watch and I was expecting him from Qualifying to win the Gold, but amazingly, this happened. I rememberd crying that moment when they decided to share the Gold medal. This is one of my favorite moments in Olympic. Thank You Essa and Gian Marco for the great sportsmanship 🇮🇹❤️🇶🇦
I love this, i been following this guy since i was very young, always hearing about his accomplishments in qatar, what a gem of a guy ❤
One of best moments in history,,
This moment taught the real spirit of games, they are the tool to keep our relationship strong
It just goes to show, REAL sportsmanship does still exist these days...a great moment indeed! 👍👍
This is an epic moment, which let all people believe in the Olympic spirit and peace! So great!
The way they both celebrated together
Cleary shows the message!!
This was one of the most brilliant moments of the Tokyo Games.....just beautiful. The Olympic Spirit in a nutshell.
Peanuts butter
Definitely one of the best moments of the 2020 Olympics. Thank you all athletes, thank you Japan for hosting.
One of the nicest moments of (any) the Olympic Games ! Goodwill, unselfishness, sharing al that was shown by those two athletes!
Well done !
Just ❤
Such moments take the championship to another level. History!!
Tokyo Olympics 2020 has had one of the most historical moments. 🙌
India's first athletic gold, gold medal shared after nearly 100 years, and many more... 🌟woah!
Close fight between 1st and 2nd place in medal table
Great guys. These men have shown greatness in humanity. Boy power.
One of the most memorable moments of Olympics.
Respect! that's what the society needs more ...
