By the way guys, the aussie speed skater had an amazing story: During a 1994 World Cup event in Montreal another skater's blade sliced through Bradbury's right thigh after a collision; it cut through to the other side, resulting in him losing four litres of blood. All four of his quadriceps muscles had been sliced through, and Bradbury thought that he would die if he lost consciousness. The injury required 111 stitches and Bradbury could not move the leg for three weeks. In the 1998 Olympics he was a potential medalist but was impeded by two collisions with other races and his 3rd place finishes after the collisions weren't enough to get him into the final In 2000 a skater in front of him fell causing him to crash trying to avoid the skater. In that crash he broke his neck. He spent a month and a half in a halo brace, and needed four pins to be inserted in his skull and screws and plates bolted into his back and chest. Doctors told him he would not be able to compete anymore. In 2002 despite being past his prime age-wise he finished first in his initial heat, then his next race he was placed in the same race as Apolo Ohno (the goat) and only the first and second place finishers of this race move on to the finals so everyone was basically fighting for 2nd. Bradbury finished 3rd and thought he was done with the olympics but the 2nd place finisher ended being penalized for obstruction and Bradbury moved into 2nd place for a chance to race in the finals. Going into the final race he knew that he had no chance of winning so he intentionally trailed the pack. His strategy was so that if two people crashed, the remaining three could all get medals and he could maybe take a bronze home. In a crazy turn of events all other skaters crashed out and his strategy successfully let him avoid any collision and win the gold. Bradbury said: "Obviously I wasn't the fastest skater. I don't think I'll take the medal as the minute-and-a-half of the race I actually won. I'll take it as the last decade of the hard slog I put in." He also said, "I was the oldest bloke in the field and I knew that, skating four races back to back, I wasn't going to have any petrol left in the tank. So there was no point in getting there and mixing it up because I was going to be in last place anyway. So (I figured) I might as well stay out of the way and be in last place and hope that some people get tangled up." Fucking legend. He deserved every bit of that medal.
Any time he's ever been interviewed or had any publicity since, he has been a deadset fucking legend too. Unironically one of our greatest sports personalities
Did you know that you actually CAN get caught doping on caffeine, there is a limit to the % in athletes blood due to caffeines ability to increase focus and energy in moderation. :)
the IOC is fiercely protective over the broadcasting rights. Even major sports channels are using pictures instead of clips because of how strict they are lmao
whats interesting about the first modern olympics is that no professional was allowed to compete. This was because any person should be able to compete, and it was seen as unfair if someones profession was an event and they were competing. This was removed shortly after because people wanted to see the best compete.
That Aussie Speedskater is named Steven Bradbury - mate went on to become a national icon here. We've based our entire national identity around him. #nevergiveup Also was like the only gold we ever won at a winter Olympics
And mcdonlads was one for every single Olympic games from 1976 till 2018 till they decided to stop doing themselves..... so no, absolutely not "when they were in america"
To me it was funny you talked about Lebron like that. I am kind of on the same page. Except I'm a Lebron hater, someone who also disliked MJ mainly due to him keeping Isiah off the Olympic team. I never gave the "debate" much thought but I gave MJ the nod. However, just from the USA Basketball Showcase games. Not even factoring in the actual Olympics. Having watched Lebron, come in late and basically singlehandedly take the team away from any potential losses, had me sitting there like "damn, he's pretty good" at 39. Then I think about MJ around that age. At 38 he unretired for the second time and played with the Wizards. At no point did MJ make me do what I was doing with LBJ these past couple games. Right then and there I decided, even though I'm not a big fan of his, he's pretty much my basketball goat. Also at the Asia Games, it was Chovy who played and Faker was the sub.
His commission just to show up is a billion alone... so I understand why they couldn't get him, but their ticket sales would make their money back in a day if he was there, idk how they missed the ROI
Wasn't there an Olympic ESports event last year with the most obviously corrupt game list? I think one of the games was owned by a board member of the IOC LMAO
The game list was chosen by the international sporting bodies as representations for their sports. The list wasn't corrupt (maybe there was one game I dunno) so much as it was picked by people unrelated to videogames choosing a game based not on competition but on advertising their sport.
@@DNeonLamp you sure Tic Tac Bow is a valid 'esport' game? How about 'virtual taekwondo' which was deadass a game that a player would actually kick a dummy to score points?
@@smokycarrot5672that’s what they’re saying. They didn’t pick the games because they’re ‘valid esports’. They picked them because they just searched for a random game that matched with an Olympic sport and just picked whatever they could find, but didn’t bother actually picking something good because they know nothing about videogames.
China tried to boost their team too before the recent winter olympics. They paid legends like Ole Einar Bjørndalen (biathlon or "ski shooting" as some say). They trained for years. Some of the athleetes were picked out of other sports to become biathlon athlets without even having tried skiing before. It didn't work, but Ole got some cash :)
My friend is a volunteer in the olympic village and she got assigned to team NL, I haven't heard any problems with food shortages there so I think it's just the brits eating too much. They did bring in their own chef from the start I think
The Olympic esport game list: Tic Tac Bow, WBSC eBaseball: Power Pros, Zwift, Just Dance, Gran Turismo, Virtual Regatta, Virtual Taekwondo, Tennis Clash and chess. Who the fuck chose these?
Chess, GT, and I guess Just Dance make sense (well 2/3 at least) but the rest would be like the Olympics creating a new sport that nobody had ever played and just expecting world class athletes to materialize. Like do they expect there to have already been high level Tic Tac Bow?
@@NewLegacy93 Yeah, GT is fine, and maybe also the baseball game? I think it's really popular in Japan. Just Dance is very popular, but I don't really think of it as a competitive game, let alone an esport. Chess is...fine. Obviously very popular and has a rich competitive history, but I just don't even think of it as a video game (even if it technically is one in this case). They justify the mobile games because people in many countries don't have the resources for high-end consoles/PC's. I can kinda understand that, but then they go and include Zwift, which starts at $1300, and Virtual Taekwondo, which doesn't even seem like a real product you can buy (though I'm sure it would be very expensive). Just really baffling choices overall. I get that they didn't want to have shooters, but there are other games with well-established esports communities. Why not LoL, Rocket League, Street Fighter, etc.?
@@AbruptAvalanche I’d assume same reason of not wanting violence in general, and then sports games are likely licensing issues with the sports league in question? Rocket league or additional racing games I’m guessing was just not wanting redundancy because they already have one and everyone knows every car game is the same Yeah, including chess in video games is weird but it definitely deserves to be in the Olympics generally so I guess however they can make that happen. I wonder if it’s just one format of chess though as the format strongly dictates who the top players are.
As a French person, I can confirm that our diet is mainly cigarettes, croissants, and live snails. However, you forget cologne that smells like the piss miasma enveloping Paris in the evening
