It's actually insane that we even have footage of this
Even more insane that people 500 years later will have HD footage of us today!!
and a shitton of that
Damm my great grand father was alive when this was recorded he was born in 1905 and still alive nowadays he's about to turn 111
Happy birthday to your great grandfather then
CreeperStrafes we are in 2016 not 2010
CreeperStrafes from 1905 to 2005 there's 100 years and from 2005 to 2016 is 11 years so do the math :)
CreeperStrafes u forgot from 2008 to 2012 there's 4 years there so 7+4 =11 its basic math
CreeperStrafes substract 1905 to 2016 and you will see who's wrong
That scene where the guys were riding around on those high-wheeled bicycles was pretty cool. I'd love to see that in a modern-day Olympics!
@0:32 they should bring back the Tug o' War!!!
His name was Dorando Pietri. Two of the officials helped the runner cross the finnish line. American Johnny Hayes of the Irish American Athletic Club protested, leading to Pietri's disqualification. Runner up Johnny Hayes was awarded the gold medal.
I think it would be nice to see current olympians trying out the games and techniques of old Olympics see how different or difficult they were 😊
1:25 that's so badass. And those outfits. Gotta love that
"American John Taylor was a member of the winning medley relay team, making him the first African-American athlete to win an Olympic gold medal."
it’s so weird to see footage from like what…113 years ago…this is insane- and the fact that the athletes are in dresses and fancy clothing, lol
How could people enjoy this without tv, radio, internet, cinema ?
For sure only people at the arena can enjoy the games
BRING BACK TUG OF WAR!
Awesome footage!
The long jumping style looks great,even by today’s standard
Absolutely love it!!! Got a sneaky feeling I may have a chance winning a medal there.
The man' s long jump winner Frank Irons result -7.48 is quite impressive,women struggle to do such a jump even now ,The world record hold by soviet Galina Chistiakova is 7,52 and is 25 years old.
Loved the music
I love how women dressed when they were in a game.
this is so beautiful to see
Fantastic!
As old as I am, the ankle length skirts on the tennis court were amusing at best
Simply great
the dude at the 24 second mark is insane.
Awesome!
LONDON WAS THE HOST CITY IN 1948 AND 2012.
do you know the legend of the marathon?
the first man to do it was a messenger, and he ran news of victory over the Persians back to Athens, and died soon upon arrival.
1896 Athens, 1900 Paris, 1904 St. Louis & 1908 London.
Nadie pensó en la gente que saltaba en garrocha sin colchón? Que locura
I'm so glad o be alive in today's great world.
They should colorize this and correct the timing.
Woah, they gonna introduce break dancing and
skating to the games but not bring back tug of wars or one wheel cycling...this is going wrong direction.
Olympic Games should be like this, more austere, without demanding so much debt for infrastructure.
2008 athletes = 100 years later after 1908
only memories prevail
A great time in a great country.
Wow a lot has changed now...
776 videos on the Olympics Channel?
thoguh it wasn't until the 1960's when rome finally gets the olympics.
1:13 first gainer ever LOL
0:23 Holy crap, he would be a good hurdler :P
"Suicide Jump" at 1:13. Bring it back
This 1908 stadium looks very much like the 1996 Greek stadium. Possibly incorrect picture for one of them?
Love the video, but what is name of music, please..
"The budget of the organising committee showed a cost of £15,000; over one-third was labeled "entertainment expense". Donations were the major source of revenue; only 28% of income derived from ticket sales. Total receipts of £21,377 resulted in organisers claiming a profit. Construction of the White City Stadium, which cost the government about £60,000, was not counted."
Now try adjusting that for inflation. Cheap my ass.
that was good, it would be so cool if tug-of-war was still and Olympic sport!
the Africans & Americans today would destroy these guys
ikr!
The Olympics back then looks like a circus and the spectators are just watching the spectacles of a carnival...
It is coming to you all the way from 1908. Internet connections then were terrible!
im not beaing able to see the newest videos because of where i live! more than 100 athletes from my country are participating this year.... :( so sad that some still choose to show their videos to certain parts of the world... it the olympics! its worldwide!
NEXT IS IN STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN IN 1912
it's not about me being able to, it's about them blocking it! that's what makes me sad...
That's how long it took them to get ready.
I'm still realing over the fact that this happened over a hundred years ago
110th Anniversary.
im the only one around who is watching this video with lag?
They way they landed XD
Everyone you see on this video is probably dead by now! Now re-watch the video with that in mind! lel
❤️
Все, кто от SurkovRussia - палец вверх!
omg pole vault with no mat o_0
woo hoo! olimpics!
bring back tug o' war!
People's arms got ripped off by tug of war....
Not forced. That's how a classy lady was supposed to look like and most ladies liked it. Clothes was still considered an indication of wealth and power. If you had clothes that didn't cover your body you gave the impression you were from the gutter. Regular people's clothing should reflect the style of the wealthy. While they used cheaper materials the ideals were the same. A man without a hat was considered poor or strange.
Walking around half naked was considered obscene and rude.
It's 100 years ago already
Kerim Grozny 110
is it just me or do high jump and pole vault kinda seem extremely painful due to the lack of padding on landing
Really really long skirt for archery
song ? please
what is the song's name ?
Tug of war is an Olympic game back then?
What's music?

Where's the pistol dueling?
0:47 what sport is this?
100% of current olympians would destroy them. except maybe Eric Moussambani
What the heck is that diving?
Most of the ladies were still forced to wear dresses. Wow.
No. That was just the style then.
Nah
Skirts were so long :)
actually probably 90% of olympians would destroy these guys lol
That's ignorant
There're certain proxies designed to view videos on youtube try those or by infecting a victim from x location you could use reverse proxy and surf with their ip address.
0:19 - 0:22 Seriously?
lol people use to belly flop in diving and play tennis in a long dress back then?
