Barshim and Tamberi were best friends even before this, to the point of standing in the other's wedding, because they went through the same devastating injury and recovery process. When Tamberi was ready to give up, Barshim didn't let him -and that was when they were merely competitors. It forged a brotherhood and then they tied for gold in the proceeding Olympics. With Katie Moon and Nina Kennedy, Katie ended up being interviewed about it on a bunch of Australian morning shows about the decision to take the tie. It was a massive deal in Oz, and both Katie and Nina felt that continuing genuinely wasn't safe -their legs were just too dead. For those that want to see a clear winner... Watch men's pole vault and Mondo Duplantis. Otherwise... I would have forgotten the winner of these two events a shortly after. Instead, particularly in the case of Barshim/Tamberi, not just track fans but fans of the Olympics in general will likely be re-living that tie for decades to come.
I’m still cracking up at the early pole vaulter who didn’t compete because his mom was worried. Early modern Olympics were wild, safety-wise. I think the swimming was held in open water one year and some swimmers caught typhoid fever.
The athlete must have been more worried what his mom would do if he didn't listen. "No. You are not doing that sport" 'But I could become an Olympi-' "-Did I stutter?!" 'No....' "No, what?" 'No,mommy' "Good. Now give mommy a hug and go play " "I'm 25, mom" 'But you will always be my wittle wittle bebeh" 'Mom!' "Alright, alright, I'll stop" 'So...I CAN go to the Olympics?' "You can get a CAN of whoopass!"
Katie has explained the pole vault jump off as partially due to a safety concern. When you’re jumping that high there’s a much larger risk of injury if you are super fatigued, which they clearly both were. Plus she already has an Olympic gold medal so I’m sure sharing a WC gold didn’t feel like a huge compromise
This high jump comp was so special, Tamberi had gone through SO MUCH to injury. Barshim and Tamberi are close too after competing against each other on the international circuit for years. They push the event so much.
I love the sharing of the gold! They say the person who gets silver is sometimes sadder than the one who gets bronze. I’d be so mad if I had gold the lost it because I chose a jump off 😅
The cruelest of tie breaks in sport in recent years was in the cricket world cup final where after 50 overs each (8 hours of play!) The scores were tied 241runs each. Then they have what's called a super over, where both teams bat 6 balls to decide the winner of the world cup which is contested once every four years. A long story short, it came down to the final ball of the super over where New Zealand facing England who scored 15 runs and New Zealand needed 2 runs to win and if a tie was played out, then a countback would happen on how many boundaries (4s,6s) which ended up happening after the New Zealander got run out coming back for the winning run by mere inches! If you're intersted it's 2019 cricket world cup final. It's one of the greatest commentaries you'll ever hear even if you know nothing about cricket!
There was a jump off in the women's high jump final in the 1997 world championship. Three people had cleared every hight until 1.99 where they all failed out, but one person got it on a fourth attempt getting the gold medal while the two others shared the silver since they didn't get it on their fourth attempt.
If you like the whole splitting golds concept a very unique one was at the 2018 winter olympics a Canadian and german bobsled team got the exact same time which was very rare as small inputs made to the steering device can make you loose or gain a thousandth of a second
The Barkley changed rules on how far you can go, originally it was how many loops you could do, now each loop has a time limit so making the 3 loop target is far tougher as you no longer have the full time to complete them.
it would be great if you could do a video on Marcel Hug, especially given his recent massive world record of 1:15:33 at the Boston Marathon a few days ago. he's awesome. thank you for making these - i always really enjoy them!!
His time doesn't count for WR because Boston is a net downhill course so can't be used for record purposes even more so with wheelchairs as going downhill gives them way more of an advantage. But the time is still great going 2 minutes faster than his previous Boston time including having a crash part way through
@@maxb148 so interesting! i didn't know this but it makes perfect sense. track 10ks are way harder than road 10ks (furthest i have gone) because you can't coast, and it reflects in the times. interesting to learn which marathons count. is it the same for ambulant athletes?
@rozcrip Yes it is the same for ambulant athletes. The rule is there can't be more than a 1m drop per 1km of the race, so for a marathon that is 42.2m. Boston has a drop of 460 feet which is 140.2m or just over 3m per km in drop. There is another reason for Boston not able to be a marathon that allows for world records and that is because the start and finish locations are so far apart. The rules state that the start and finish need to be within 50% of the race distance if you drew a straight line between the points, for Boston it is around 39km which is quite far above the 21km needed. There is a list on world athletics website that has every road race if you look up World athletics certified road races then scroll down until you see a link that has the list.
@rozcrip It is the same for ambulant athletes. The World athletics rules are that there can't be more than a 1m drop in elevation per 1km over the race distance. So for a marathon that would be 42.2m, and Bostons drop is 460 feet or 140.2m. Boston also breaks another rule for road events to count for records and that is the start and finish need to be within 50% of the distance of the race when a straight line is drawn between the two points. Boston's start and finish are over this limit aswell. You can find a list of the rules and the events if you look up World Athletics Certified road races.
I love this!! Also your videos are so well done and I can't believe you're only at 20K subs. You'll get to 100K in no time! I'm guessing you'll hit 100K when this year's olympics takes place :D
Well yes the athletes will share if there's a chance since there's nothing to lose expect the respect of some fans. The fact that it happened twice in such a short period of time and important events does make me worried.
I watched the epic Tamberi/Barsham duel. Two phenomenal athletes stretch their abilities to the absolute limit, and with more painful, exhausting jumps needed so that one of them can be declared the loser... they say the hell with it and declare their work damn well done. It was AWESOME. One of the greatest acts of sportsmanship and honor I have ever seen. Few things are more painful to watch than the "Lu Xun bemoaning Zhuge Liang" moment, where someone who should be a deserving champion is denied because the one person on the planet who could match him happened to be in the arena that day. And on that day two good men said, screw it, we're _both_ Zhuge Liang. Simply beautiful. Needless to say, I do not give a rip what a bunch of *royal imbeciles* on social media said about it. Seriously, one of the things that just _pisses me off_ about the Internet age is the ignorant ravings of random blithering yahoos getting airtime on once-respectable outlets. There was a time when this worthless drivel went straight to the circular file (Look it up! 🙂). When history gets made, the voices I want to hear are those with respect for the sport and what it takes to reach the highest level, not a festering stupidity factory like Twitter.
Just imagine if a country lost a world cup final in football/soccer because after 90 minutes of normal play plus extra time, they had to have some kind of kick off to determine the one winner instead of sharing the world cup. Oh wait that's what actually happens in other sports
When they both decided that they were cowardly gonna share the gold medal both fearing they could end up with a silver otherwise I did not like it. They are supposed to compete
I don't like this, the Olympics is about finding out who's the best, not deciding to stop competing and still getting a gold medal each. Could two boxers do the same?
Where does it say that? I think the Olympics are mainly to make money! But secondarily, it's to display the extent of human ability and to achieve the highest level of competition in the world

"history, my friend"
literally the coolest thing he could possibly have said

What a beautiful love story

"Alright, alright, I'll stop"

"You can get a CAN of whoopass!"
@@GullibleTarget You might be an Olympian, but you're never coming home for Christmas again!

I understand sharing the gold because the injury risk seems high after you've already made multiple attempts at very high jumps
I love the sharing of the gold! They say the person who gets silver is sometimes sadder than the one who gets bronze. I’d be so mad if I had gold the lost it because I chose a jump off 😅
If you can't decide on a winner, fine, let them share a medal - silver.

Nice video. I had not heard of the joint gold medal for the female pole vault before.
Any chance you could have a look at the Barkley Ultra Marathon? It's one of the most wild running events of the year
I think he only does track and field
The Barkley changed rules on how far you can go, originally it was how many loops you could do, now each loop has a time limit so making the 3 loop target is far tougher as you no longer have the full time to complete them.
ultras and track are not even in the same arena... literally
Cool video as always
That we got a tie situation for the gold in the mens high jump again at the olympics is bizarre….

Funny how in the Paris olympics in hj the tie happend again, but ended in a jump off and a win for Hamish Kerr.
I love this!! Also your videos are so well done and I can't believe you're only at 20K subs. You'll get to 100K in no time! I'm guessing you'll hit 100K when this year's olympics takes place :D
I love this channel! Interesting content and great editing. Keep the videos coming!
Would love to hear your thoughts on the men's high jump jump off at the Paris Olympics

Kind of sad to see them trying to hype up the crowd and theres just nobody xD

I started becoming a fan of high jump because of them, I also watched the Tokyo 2021,
another fun video

🔥💪💪🏽🔥🌿🏅🏆👍🏽👍
And nobody wants to do jump offs anymore 🙄 Imagine a World Cup Final ending after Extra Time with a draw, because no one wants to do penalties.
💯EXACATLLY! 🙃

there are many draws in boxing, from the majority draw, to the split draw, to the unanimous draw. it happens very rarely, but so did this.
Disgusting, the Olympics is specifically to see who is the very best
Disgusting? 😂 Get a grip
It’s pretty lame to share
It’s a tie. There’s a tiebreaker that is allowed in the rules, but both athletes completed their full competition.
I agree with the other response and the jump off only shows who has more stamina, not who's best at the discipline
Where does it say that? I think the Olympics are mainly to make money! But secondarily, it's to display the extent of human ability and to achieve the highest level of competition in the world
