Afghanistan's Rohullah Nikpai had his Olympic debut at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The Teakwondo athlete claimed the Bronze Medal in the 58 kg category right away which was also the first medal ever for Afghanistan at Olympic Games! At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Rohullah entered the 68 kg category and claimed another Bronze Medal for his country.

The honor behind being the first medalist in your country ... must be unimaginable
And one that’ll never be beat, it’ll withstand time.
Indeed!
As an Afghan I can tell you he paved the way for so many athletes that are successful today and he is considered as the living legend today.
Taekwondo was first introduced to Afghanistan in the 60’s by an African American Peace Corps volunteer. He started with a very small group of young school kids. That guy should be very proud.
Wow I learned something new. Do you mind sharing his/ her name?
Afghanistan, Taipei, Dominican Republic, Mexico. Great to see a varied podium for what some might assume is a niche sport.
We are proud of you legend! You took the first Olympic medal for Afghanistan, but still there are some racist ignorant, trying to ignore your efforts and victories!
I as an Indian went to see the Olympic Games with no hope from South Asia.
When India won the gold by Abhinav.I literally cried in the shooting arena.
But when Rohullah Nikpai won the medal I literally cried a lot for Afghan.
Afghans are really the nicest human being I have ever ever known.
@I M these 1st WORLD ppl live never knw wat we 3rd world ppl suffer

His efforts will never be forgetting he is a national hero.
We also should respect others opinions not everyone is going to like the same champion.
However, a champion is a champion, and therefore like him or dislike him he must be honoured and respected at the highest level as he has brought highest honour at an international level for Afghanistan, our lovely great country.
9:51 that was satisfying to watch
Yes
Yes. Yes it was
What a man, a hero and a national icon for afghans, not just hazare, but for the whole Afghanistan
@Shohab Rafii let’s not mention what ethnicity our champions belong to.
You see on his back it has Afghanistan written so he is a hero of Afghanistan.
When we mention ethnicity than we disrespect our national champion.
He is Afghanistan’s national hero and a national champion. Therefore, he is the champion of every single Afghan.
@@mkhan9033 yeah but you can't ignore he is a hazara, why it it hard for you to digest that maybe you should do a self reflection
He is indeed a national hero. For a country that has fallen prey to extremists once again.
@@shaqaeqrezai5875 indeed he is hazara but to bring it up needlessly with the current climate is unnecessarily divisive…
they should make a video for him about his journey and stuff. he is inspiring
I feel like they would have if would have been the first gold in Afghanistan
I cry every time I watch this video and see him crying !
Who wouldn't

Hi Le does the point system work in this sport?
How does
1pt: punch/kick in the body
2pt: kick in the head
3pt: round kick in the head
4pt: round kick in the face
I don't know if is it totally correct, but it's something like that
one point, basic attack to torso
two points, spinning kick to torso
three points, kick to head
(there are no 4 point, neither do they differ, between head and face)
One point for a valid punch to the trunk protector
Two Points for a valid kick to the trunk protector
Four points for a valid turning kick to the trunk protector
Three points for a valid kick to the head
Five points for a valid turning kick to the head
@@josefholm6922 just curious. At the end of the 3rd the guy from spain lost a point. Why?
they don't have electronic stockings
needs commntary, 99% of comments dont even know how the sport works, just happy for afghanistan. also want to know why point was deducted for spain? Also what and why do they scream after each point score? it seems unsportsmanlike, the spain guy was screaming a lot, why?
In TKD you lose points by gaining two „warnings“/penalties, incurred by ex. punching to the face, stepping out of the ring, pushing/ holding/ grabbing (here the judges have a bit of tolerance in judging). The spain fighter got his first penalty because he went out of the ring 9:50. the second one, was due to holding his opponent 11:00. thats why he lost the point
the screaming in the fight is some sort of „mental warfare“. Furthermore, the fighter thinks he scored, so he is cheering. but since the judges are accountable for deciding wether there is a point or not, there is no real effect for the fight. why the spanish fighter screamed during the break, is pretty unclear to me aswell.
Whats wrong with the foot of the guy representing Spain?
He dislocated his toe o think
Bring tears in the eyes we afghan have best sport men but do to wars we have not giving to show it
🇦🇫🇦🇫🇦🇫❤️❤️
9:51 I always laugh at this bit
how come there are 2 bronze medallists?
respect to both of them, but shouldn't them two actually fight for the bronze medal??
Look at the damage they are getting, exposing them to more of that for a bronze might not be a good idea.
🇦🇫👍
Bro who wins 🏆
And now Taliban makes everyone fights for their medals (Life)
was that a kick to the balls?
5:26
12:45
Como llora jajajaja
jai afganistan. long live people of afganistan. taliban ka vinash ho. insaniyat ka jeet ho. lov fm bangaluru india
Look how short that spanish kids arms are....
Clap, what ever martial arts you bring it in the tournament. At the current situation or actual sparing. You will ignore the actual step you learn. You goal is win or make a score. Sorry for the comments.I bout both of the athlete.Well done.
Spain DQ?
Medial withdrawal he dislocated his toe after hitting his elbow
🇦🇫
