My top pleasure: It looks like the USA will top the medal table again.
My next pleasure: It looks like Canada will miss the Top 10 again.
The best American Olympic moment ever BY FAR, is when a group of college hockey players were thrown together for a few months.....hockey being America's 4th most popular team sport and defeating the professional national all-star team of the Soviet Union. A professional national all-star team that spent their ENTIRE careers playing together, in a nation where hockey is their number 1 team sport.
That level of upset had never been seen before, or since. It would be like having the 92' American basketball Dream Team not only assembled for a single tournament, but to have played together for years and end up losing to a bunch of college kids from the Soviet Union.
In other words.....a MIRACLE.
In the height of the Cold War..
They were like 500 to 1 dogs in that game and got curb stomped like a month before the Olympics the only thing that keeps the moment from being absolutely perfect is that it was the semi final not the final
@@claychristian1140 Exactly.....
that diver is greg louganis. he hit the board with his head , came back, and won gold the next day.
Not only hit the back of his head, he split it open requiring 4 stitches; minutes later he completed that preliminary round. He soldiered on to defend both of his previous golds nearly perfectly to runaway victories while battering his wound in the springboard and 10 meter platforn!
@@JayRGewing thanks for the helpful addition!
@@nh2155211 👍 Dude was next level dominant and highlighted his competitive greatness persevering through that skull wallop.🐐
@@JayRGewinghe was the greatest diver - may not have at the difficulty but his form & execution unsurpassed - gorgeous!
He is one of a handful of divers who have one back-to-back gold medals in springboard and platform.
I heard a recent story from a reporter covering the 92 Dream Team that during one of the games against either Italy or Spain a very good Italian or Spanish player ended up getting caught in a switch on defense to where he was guarding the post against Magic Johnson. As soon as that happened, he started shouting over to his team's bench "Photograph! Photograph!" He was just so thrilled to be playing against Magic that he needed someone to take his picture guarding him.
We all knew the Dream Team was going to beat tf out of the world and the world loved them for doing it.
I remember watching Kerri Strug nail that vault live on TV. It still gives me chills. It’s certainly one of the most memorable moments in sports for me
The Kerri Strug moment was absolutely insane. This is my favorite moment👍🏼
"Who was that?....Tell me everything about him!" - That's Greg Louganis. He won gold medals in both '84 and '88. He is the only man and the second diver in Olympic history to sweep the diving events in consecutive Olympic Games. He notoriously hit his head on the 3 meter springboard in the '88 Olympics, bleeding into the pool and didn't disclose his HIV positive status until 1995. No one was... almost certainly... in any danger (chlorine kills HIV), but he's caught some flak for not letting the other participants know. I think we watched replays of him hitting his head on TV for months and months in 1995.
Triple Gainer wasn't it?
@@SkewtLilbttm I believe it was supposed to be, but it's been a long time ago now so I may be misremembering.
How did Jesse Owens 1936 performance in front of Hitler not make this list?
Perhaps the greatest American Olympics moment!
Jesse might have won for races but, Germany destroyed that Olympics.
Mary Lou Retton winning gold in gymnastics with a perfect score on banged up knees is considered the greatest individual performance in Olympic history. Add her to the list too, along with Mark Spitz ,Bruce Jenner, Cassius Clay, Dick Fosbury (Fosbury flop) Flo Jo, Florence Griffith, Carl Lewis etc the video could have been 3 hours long if he included everyone ha
@@ryanc9888Right?!?? I have a 3-DVD set that captures all the special Olympics moments (winter and summer, all countries) from 1896-2010. I love it!
Disc 1: Greatest moments
Disc 2: Golden moments
Disc 3: The Olympics Spirit
@@johndessoyestrange thing to say
Miracle on ice is THE greatest US Olympic moment of all time, by far.
The 1972 U.S. Olympic basketball literally had the gold medal stolen form them by an off court official who had no authority over the game. He ordered time be put back on the clock so that the Commies could win the game. The entire team boycotted the medal ceremony and refused to accept their medals. To this day,, 52 years later, the medals still sit in a vault at the IOC's headquarters in Switzerland. The loss of this game is not what lead to the downfall of amateur basketball team we sent to international events. It was the rest of the world using professional players pretending to be amateur athletes in order to catch up with us. Once the governing body opened their eyes and saw what was actually going on, the Dream Team was born and we kicked ass once again.
Every couple of years, the team is asked by the IOC if they want their medals, with the proviso apparently being that it must be unanimous. Not one player has taken up the offer. At least one player has added a proviso to their will barring any descendant from having permission to accept on his behalf.
One moment not listed thanly you have to look into: Bob Beamon's long jump. Broke the world record by over half a meter, and to this day, it's only been matched without wind assistance once, in 1991.
The funniest part is they put up the score and everyone went bonkers... except Bob Beamon, because he didn't understand the score as given in metric. One of his coaches had to tell him what he'd just done
My favorite sports moment (of my lifetime) was Dan Jansen in the 1994 Olympics. The Kerri Strug vault, though, is right up there.
I was 10 years old watching the Miracle on Ice. It was the top sports watching moment of my life. It’s impossible to really express what it was like if you didn’t live it.
That 4x100 swim relay was so awesome! I was in my teens watching with my family and we were cheering, jumping, high-fiving, going nuts! What made it sweeter was our own commentator creaming his jeans about the French team and saying we didn’t have a chance. We were so pissed off, yelling at him through the tv to STHU haha. There was a ton of buildup too because Phelps needed a gold medal for a record. Please do more Olympic videos!
I remember watching the the Kerri Strug thing on to as it was happening... I'm really doubt I'll see anything as impressive as that in the olympics. It's straight out of a movie like the Karate Kid on one leg or something. That relief she feels knowing she stuck it and she can now hobble and drop to her knees... must have been unreal.
It's sad though because she didn't actually have to vault for them to win gold and she lost her career over it.
10:02 this bit killed me😂😂 “I reckon we’re gonna win this” in America’s best Olympic moments.
😂😂😂
Mark Spitz is an American swimmer who won the most gold medals up to the time of Michael Phelps. The diver you asked about is Greg Louganis, who dominated diving in the 80's and 90's until his retirement.
"I don't know anything about Angola, but Angola's in trouble" has to be one of the best Chuck quotes ever
Greg Louganis would have been at the '80 Olympics , but US boycotted the Moscow games. He also won the Silver medal in the '76 Montreal games when he was only 16!
Appreciate the info, thank you for the comment! 🙏
Steph Curry just added a moment to this list with this two games vs Serbia and France 🇺🇸
Saw him versus France, he was epic with those killer 3s
Michael Johnson was a beast. Growing up he was huge and I remember watching all of his races
Put Cole hocker on that list. Former collegiate track all American here. That 1500 today with your own josh kerr vs jakob ingebrigtsen should pretty much a guarantee for gold and silver and the Americans came from nowhere
no jesse owens or boys in the boat is sad but i assume it's maybe a footage issue? Although the berlin olympics were very well documented so idk
Jim Craig was so clutch in the final moments of the Miracle on Ice. You love to see it. Also whenever I think of American track athletes, I always think of Carl Lewis lol having won 10 gold medals.
The Miracle on Ice wasn't the gold medal game and the USSR had to play Sweden for silver, with the US playing Finland for the gold medal game.
So how did Finland end up not medaling if they played the USA for gold?
@@chrispavlich9656 It's how the bracket is formatted. Finland was 4th going into play against the #1 seeded US. US won, making Finland 4th. Sweden played the USSR for 2nd place as they were both 2nd and 3rd respectively.
@@chrispavlich9656 The format wasn't a straight knockout for the finals - it was a second group stage, with the results of the game against the other qualifying team carrying over (the USA's tie with Sweden and USSR's win over Finland). USA won it with 2 wins and a tie, USSR was second with 2 wins and a loss, Sweden got the bronze with a loss and 2 ties, Finland was fourth with two losses and a tie.
@@Timmycoo 👍🏻
@@danbaker300 👍🏻
You guys were talking during the brief backstory on the 4x100 swim relay, but the French had been talking all kinds of smack about how they came to the Olympics to smash the Americans, or something like that. The U.S. were underdogs. I was alone in my apartment for that race, jumping up and down, yelling. It was fairly late at night, but I could hear others in my courtyard yelling, too. I've heard many similar stories. That's my greatest Olympics memory ever.
I remember watching the 4x100 freestyle relay in 2008 and I couldnt believe US pulled it off. It was one of the craziest sports events ive witnessed. USA always has the best highlight wins.
This last Olympics has been full of moments too. Quincy Hall, Cole Hocker, Noah Lyles. US sure knows how to win with style lol.
I would proudly add Quincy Hall's victory yesterday in the 2024 M 400m race to this compilation. An incredible showing of grit and willpower. Absolutely worth a watch.
I was sitting there for the dream team start and my brain starts registering the music and I'm slowly like, is that the Terminator theme? Yes, yes it is! Beautiful when played slower on piano, but still what a weird one to choose.
Diver was Greg Louganis! In the ‘88 Olympics he cracked his head open. He made diving fun to watch
I have really enjoyed the Olympics for the first time in awhile. I feel like there's a lot of the old "world coming together" positivity amongst the athletes. A bit of the external negativity has crept in, but overall, it has been really fun to watch and support all the incredible athletes from around the world performing incredible athletic feats.
I can remember the palpable excitement that surrounded the US/Russia hockey matchup in Lake Placid. It didn't matter if you'd never watched hockey in your life, EVERYONE watched *that* game. There's a really great movie about it, called (unsurprisingly) Miracle. Kurt Russell plays Coach Herb Brooks and he's terrific. It's one of my favorite sports movies.
Dave Wottle is the greatest moment in non-team U.S. Olympics -- 1972. You need to watch the entire race. Never fails to thrill.
The 1500 today was up there
Great reaction, lads. The Olympics is the greatest spectacle in sports. I love it and have been glued to the TV since it started. I always look forward to it. Some great stories have come out of this one. Even though Im rooting for the US athletes, there's been some great stories for other countries. Including some getting their first ever medals.
Diver looks like Greg Louganis
He was such an amazing diver.
I always get filled with so much pride when it comes to the Olympics. As an American we've had so much to cheer about and I've loved the Olympics since I was a little kid but I still understand that we have a huge population with money and training that surpasses most of the world. Great reaction guys
Regardless of the money it still requires the effort and dedication to become the best at what you do. Some of these athletes come from unimaginable squalor to achieve what they do, not just the third world athletes.
@@chrispavlich9656 I absolutely do agree with you on that. It is the self perseverance of the individual and not money. I'm just saying the other resources do help.
I loved the Mary Lou Retton female gymnastics moment (1984?) when she got a perfect 10 score for her performance. That was back when Bella as her coach called her “Panda”. Such a great moment back when the scores were easy 1-10! Not the 3.786 etc of today. 🙄. Kerri Scruggs helping win the gymnastics despite a broken ankle and Bella Karoli carrying her out was amazing too.
Best American Olympics moment I’ve lived through was the American amateur hockey league winning against the Soviet Union and defeated Soviet Union team ( secretly professionals though they were signed up as soldiers! 😂) The movie The Miracle is about that amazing win.
'92 Dream Team had Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Tim Duncan. All 4 are Top 10 Greatest NBA Players of All Time. Beyond that, there's another 7 guys that are all Hall of Famers and Top 25 All Time. Bird, Magic and Jordan had 14 championship titles between them. The only reason no one else had any was because of those three. You loved every guy on that team from Barkley to Malone to Pippen to Stockton to Ewing to Mullin.
Tim Duncan was not on the 92 Dream Team but David Robinson was.
The gymnastics gold on vault with 1 leg was epic. But the greatest olympic moment ever was the miracle on ice.
The UK usually does quite well in the Olympics, it seems like this year you have been amazing! Congratulations to the athletes, and the whole country
Thank you 🙏
Hey guys, I broke down how the USSR still got silver in the 1980 hockey tournament in your Miracle (2004) reaction video. It’s a bit of a longer comment but it explains how the tournament worked back then 👍🏻
Thank you Nathan, we really appreciate it, makes sense 🙏
You could make at least an hour video of USA Olympic highlights for every summer games; so many great moments
My theory is that most of the world doesn't actually hate us, they just view us as the extremely gifted cousin. Like "Man, he has all the tools, he just doesn't always get it together, and it makes us mad."
This is a relatively old video. Nothing from the Tokyo games as a result or the 2018 or 2022 Winder Olympics. This would also have to be updated w/ what's going on in Paris. The men's track team has had 3 comeback wins alone; something that will probably merit its own vid.
I never saw the 1992 Olympics (I was only 10) but I kept hearing about the "Dream Team" at school and I was aware of the likes of Michael Jordon, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson. Oh and my dad told me that Spurs David Robinson was on the team too (my family are San Antonio Spur Fans lol). A good chunk of the team are considered Basketball Icons.
Now I DID watch the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. I was a fan of Gymnastics by this time and I remember watching everything about the Women's Team competition. See Kerri Strug's performance, I screamed with joy while my heart broke at the same time. I was 14 at the time so I was close to the age of some of these girls. It was VERY inspiriting. Oh the team there also had a nickname, they were called the Magnificent 7 and this was our first Team Gold Medal. A part of me is hoping that for LA in 2028, Kerri Shrug will be the one to light the cauldron because the last 2 times US hosted an Olympic games, they've picked Athletes that were heroes like Ali and the Miracle on Ice Team.
2008 Olympics was CRAZY. Yeah that relay was crazy! I was gob smacked for sure! It did seem like a miracle haha. This was the Olympics when Phelps won gold in every event he was in and this one was the most special for sure.
Now I wasn't alive in 1980, but my parents watched that match and it was one of biggest moments in sports ever. I did grow up learning about that match and so when I saw the Miracle on Ice Team (coach included) at the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics Opening Ceremony to light the final cauldron, I cheered and wasn't surprised by that standing ovation for them too.
7:26 I remember watching Kerri Strug's vault routine with my now wife in 1996. My wife went on to do D1 collegiate gymnastics and still does judging for lower division collegiate gymnastics as a bit of a paid hobby. We were 8.
Awesome episode and thanks for reacting to this Doc n' educating myself and daughter (i.e. 4th and 5th Gen Laker Fans) about what the exact purpose of the Dream Team was. Didn't know the U.S. wasn't sending their elite players like other countries during all those past Olympics.
My top pleasure: It looks like the USA will top the medal table again.
My next pleasure: It looks like Canada will miss the Top 10 again.
That diver was the great Greg Lougainis.
Thank you 🙏
ESPN did an outstanding "30 for 30" about The Miracle On Ice, but as seen from the Soviet perspective. It's called Of Miracles and Men. Absolutely fascinating documentary, if you ever get the chance to watch it.
Surprised they didn't do it from the non-binary black perspective.
Imagine that Olympic team with Larry Bird on it. It was already unfair.
The Men's Ice Hockey at the 1980 Olympics was just a round robin tournament and at the end of the round robin, the United States had the best record.
Kerri Strug's vault cannot be topped, but the Miracle on Ice probably ties it as the political situation gave the game so much more meaning.
Speaking of the clip where the guy came back in the 800m, that happened this year too in the 400m for the US. A guy came back from 4th with a lot of space between him and first on the final straight away. Quincy Hall finds another gear to come back and win men’s 400m | Paris Olympics | NBC Sports
In the semis the 2 losers play for bronze. The 2 winners play for gold and silver
Michael Phelps is the most decorated Olympian of all time.
Thanks for the reaction guys! Good video in theory. Considering we have multiple iconic moments pretty much every Olympics, def can't come even close to being comprehensive in ten minutes, especially when 6 of that is spent on Miracle on Ice and Dream Team. Kind of dissapointing compilation from the original creator's side imo
12:15 We have and DO watch BBC in the U.S. They have branches here and do American centric reporting with a little bit more global coverage than our typical networks.
Feel free to check out British highlights too...saying so as a biased American
Thank you! Appreciate the suggestion. I’m (Damo) a huge Olympics fan but I’d happily see those moments again 🙌
Sometines, I am like,"damn I'm old" but now I appreciate being a kid watching these moments kive while eating soggy cornflakes 😂
how iconic are these moments to you guys? obviously the whole world sees them win, but here it’s run to death on ads for nike, gatorade, etc. and the moments never die. so how many of these do you remember happening and how many are moments you see a lot?
That was Greg Lucanus (diver) ..PS I watch BBC and Graham Norton ...Are you being served ...etc
Greg Louganis is the name of the diver of the decade. I don't know if they covered Mark Spitz the 70's. Seven Gold and 7 world records in 1972 Munich. Olga Korbut was a tiny Russian gymnast at those games. Nadia didn't come in till 1980
One that wasn't in there was the women's 4x100 relay... USA dropped the baton and came back and won
the Olympics are awesome, especially the non pro events, it is so nice to lift someone up and celebrate their achievement!
Completely agree! Appreciate the comment 🙏
The last4 or 5 Olympics basketball players on the opposing teams get the US players to autograph their shoes, basketballs, and they get tons of pics with the players.
The reason the soviets still got silver was because the medal round of the hockey event was the four best teams and they all played each other in a round robin and the best record (3-0) wins gold and so on so bc the us was undefeated in the medal round they won gold but the soviets only lost once so they won silver
Micheal Phelps has 28 medals (23 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze).
Yeah that’s incredible. And insane!
This is a few of the moments but nearly a good chunk. Missing Mary Lou Renton's perfect 10's in gymnastics in 1994, and is missing tons though the hockey one is probably the top in team sport wins cited. Number of them this year including the men's 1500m unexpected victory and 100m that was won despite a time tie down to the 1000'th. Even the 400 was pretty amazing in the last 50.
i think other people said but ya the diver is Greg Louganis, lots of cool videos/history on him
I'm surprised no Jesse Owens in Berlin, worth looking up if you don't know the story (I think we take it for granted we all do) Thanks for the react!
Appreciate the comment, thank you. Great shout with Jesse Owens, definitely would have liked to have seen him included here as I only know high level details
also about the teams that had to play the dream team. i had a friend growing up who was on a team from a very small school who made it all the way to march madness just to face the UCONN women’s team that won 111 games in a row. we were stoked. but ouch
You should have seen how dominant the USA women's softball team was in the Olympics. So dominant that the Olympics got rid of the sport.
My biggest memory of watching the dream team is that Charles Barkley was unstoppable
I'm not a basketball fan at all. But I watched the Dream Team.
And Michael Phelps the GOAT he was awesome
First Olympics I ever properly watched was Michael Phelps tearing things up. Just incredible
I'm moving my first timestamp to the top because it is so wacky.
16:04 - HOLY CRAP!! I actually just learned something about this too so I'll pass it on to y'all. I always knew that the Soviet game was the second-to-last game and Finland was the final game which means I always assumed that Finland won silver and the Soviets got either 3rd or 4th. When I saw Sweden's uniforms and flag in this shot and also being confused about the placement of the Soviets in what appeared to be silver-medal position, I looked it up. Turns out that the Final Round of that tournament was a modified group stage. They took the top 2 teams from each of the 2 groups and had them play the top 2 teams from the opposite group. The final standings would be determined by those games AND the results of the group stage games between the teams from the same groups. The US and Sweden topped our group and the USSR and Finland topped theirs. The first 2 "games" of this final round were essentially the 2-2 draw the US played against Sweden in the group and the 4-2 for the USSR over Finland from the group. Then, the US beat the USSR 4-3, Sweden and Finland drew 3-3, the US beat Finland 4-2 and the USSR beat Sweden 9-2. This all created (based on a 2 points per win system) a final table of the US with 5 points, the USSR with 4, Sweden with 3 and Finland with 1. Weird wild shit if you ask me.
3:40 - The craziest thing for me about seeing NBA players at the Olympics is seeing them wear numbers that look so out of place for them. Back in 1992, FIBA required numbers to only be from 4 to 15 to make it easier to signal to the scoring table who committed personal or technical fouls. They don't require this anymore but Team USA and a few other teams still maintain a tradition of doing that.
7:02 - The best thing about that Keri Strug moment is that the Russians and Romanians had been thoroughly dominant in the team competitions for decades. Russia/the Soviet Union hadn't lost since they first entered the competition in 1952. We had some great individual gymnasts during that period but the team never had a chance but this '96 team was the best all-around team we had in a while and, while still underdogs, had a good chance of competing for gold. They went into the vault in the lead and the second-to-last vaulter only needed to land her vault to clinch gold but she fell both times and then Strug fell and injured herself and it felt like we had just choked the gold away. For her to land that with all that pressure and being injured was one of the most incredible things I had ever seen on live TV.
9:40 - Yes, Spitz was also American and held the previous record with 7 gold medals in one Olympics until Michael got the 8 in 2008. This is also up there for one of the most incredible things I ever saw on live TV.
10:46 - Yeah, that was the world record line. The 2008 Olympics were the one where the swimsuits got so jacked up to the point that almost every world record fell and they had to change the rules to ban that specific type of suit.
11:18 - Greg Louganis (loo-GAIN-iss). At the 1988 Seoul Olympics, he hit his head on the board during a dive and busted his head open during the 3 meter springboard prelims and got a concussion but recovered and won gold in that event and then also the 10 meter platform.
And yes, I LOVE the Olympics. There's so many great stories out there in and out of Team USA.
Michael Phelps, also from the 2008 games out-touching his opponent by 0.01 seconds after coming from behind and taking a half-stroke that he thought lost it for him in the 100 meter butterfly was nuts.
The Semi Final was the Miracle on Ice Game. Next game was Sweden in the final. No one remembers that one. USSR had to play for bronze.
Thank you for the reminder, appreciate the comment 🙏
Here's 2 movies to watch number 1 Prefontaine , and number 2 running brave there both about Olympic runners.
Appreciate the suggestions, thank you 🙏
Interesting difference you’ll appreciate - Americans know athletics as track and field. Athletics is just a generic word for sports here.
If I could go back in time and be at any sports game in history…easily it would be USA vs Russia 1980.
"This video is not available." :-( I will try again later.
Awesome video.
Thank you 🙏
You should react to “The 96 Effect” on Peacock. It goes through the explosion of USA women’s sports at the ‘96 summer Olympics in Atlanta.
The games are just fun to watch, I'm sure there are plenty of great moments no matter the country...also go USA
Absolutely love them!
These are great, but Kurt Angle won Olympic Gold for wrestling with a broken freakin’ neck
Wow, that is insane!
The US hockey team beat the Soviet team in the semi-finals. They still had to beat Sweden for the gold medal.
It's kind of misleading because all the emphasis is placed on the game against the Soviet team.
NFL starts soon blokes. Last year I suggested you root for the Detroit Lions for excitement and they delivered. This is a good year to latch onto One Pride. Superbowl Motown!
Please react to 2024 college football hype videos and also 2022,2023,2024 college football anthems! Love y’all
Michael Phelps just doesn't have the most medals and gold medals of any Olympian ever. He has more gold medals than 112 countries in the summer Olympics, and 113 countries in combined Winter and Summer golds. He has more total medals of any type than 87 countries. And that's if you don't include coalitions like when the Russians had to compete under an IOC flag because they were the only ones not caught doping when Russia got banned or when there were Mixed Olympic teams or teams like Australasia or Individual Neutral Athletes.
Like all the guys that can stand around a bar and say "I was struck out by Nolan Ryan". Sure there were better than 5000 guys struck out by Nolan so you're not unique, but how many cannot say that and yet wish they could.
Yeah, these were some great moments, but I’m surprised they didn’t include Jesse Owens’ performance in Hitler’s 1936 Olympics, destroying the “superior Aryan race” narrative.
The 1980 olympics the final round was a round robin, not single elimination. Had the US lost to Finland, they and the USSR would each have had 1 loss and the USSR would have gotten gold on goal differential!
diver was maybe louganis?
I think so yeah, had a few comments for him 😀
Before US wouldn't allow professional Athlete's to be in the Olympics...but they changed that rule
Can you react to the intuit dome
Sadly many GREAT athletes were NOT mentioned
Sending our true team is so unfair we’re sending our benchwarmers now to give the other nations a chance at winning in basketball at the Olympics
Dream Team beating up on a bunch of cab drivers wasn't a great moment in Olympics. Americans were NBA players and the rest of Olympic teams had a total of 8 NBA players.
Gen Z losers complain about Kerri Strug being pressured into that 2nd vault
The Soviets won silver in ice hockey in 1980 because it was a round robin format and had beaten Sweden and Finland (the other two teams reaching the medal round).
US Olympians are good at everything..... except shooting. Big irony there.
Thank god!!
