What is your favorite Olympic moment of all time? Let us know in the comments below and it might be featured in the next #ThrowbackThursday!
My favourite? Biathlon in Sochi 2014
I have more from Beijing 2008 Olympics but I want Cuba vs China women's volleyball competition in preliminary round
Matthew Mitcham's 2008 gold medal in diving. All the feels for real!
2008 Beijing Olympics Men's indoor volleyball semifinal US vs Russia. Epic match!
Also 1st Olympic bmx competition! 2008. Strombergs!!!
The beginning of Frodo’s ascent to GOAT status.
Alistair is triathlon GOAT, 2 Olympic gold medals, 22WTS wins out of 37 starts. At the age of 20 he was still leading here till 7th running kilometer. Already next year he won 5 out of 5 WtS races- more than Frodo in his whole career. Alistair is junior, u23 and 2x world champion. His winning rate in ITU WTS circuit is 60%
Frodeno is triathlon legends, Alistair is best triathlete ever, often he was beating Frodeno for 2-3 minutes over 2h olympic distance races. Alistair changed way of racing, he is an athlete without weakness. Alistair would swim on Richard Varga feet (3:52 400k swimmer) then he would destroy everyone’s legs on the bike and than he would post run splits often 60-120s faster than Frodeno and co. Only Gomez was able to race with Alistair, everyone else was racing for 3rd place from 2009-2015. Frodeno has amazing 15 years career with Olympic gold and 3 Kona titles, but we should not forget how dominant Alistair Brownlee was
It started all the way back in Mordor when he gave up the ring. What a journey 🥹

And what is Frodeno in 2019? The best Ironman in the world! Just wow!!!
Patrick Lange is record holder.
Jan Lange has the best time in Ironman Hawaï but Frodo the best time in the world with his performance in Challenge Roth (7:35:39)
@@thibault8862 exactly! can't wait for this weekend! Frodo all the way!
Sabin Shrestha me too ! Hope he will win. Jan is terribly in Shape actually but other triathletes too. What an epic Battle Kona 2019 will be!
Jan sorry..no longer
Simon had a mental lapse with just over a mile to go. That first sprint to catch group, tired him out for final finish. A tireless, fearless warrior. Congrats Frodeno, with a superior final sprint.
Simon Whitfield, mad respect for him. Gold in 2000, silver 8 years later. The man has the warrior in him.
Whoever watched through the entire thing mad respect

I watched it while doing cardio in the gym

Eleven years later! It's never too late. Hopefully they publish all the Olympic events as they did with London 2012.
Most, if not all of those were the original streams though
@@CoastalWizard u C chip
Young Frodeno...amazing sprint
verdade
The true joy of doing the sport you love, and 11 years on, he is still racing and is at the peak of his game. Keep inspiring us mortal triathletes Frodeno!! 🤗☺️
Watching today in memory of Shane Reed. RIP to a great guy :(.
where do these men find the energy to sprint after such a draining competition? Truly amazing to see what the human body is capable of achieving when you have a strong mind!
Years and years and years of anaerobic training
@@jeromeibanez6069 verdade (true)
A little too much commenting for my taste...
Great race anyway!
😂😂😂
The last runner was as happy as first one
Ederson Erick Colin Jenkins helped Simon Whitfield get the silver with letting him draft off him on the swim and bike. Unbelievable day for Canada.
At 1:49:27 when Whitfield threw off his sun visor, at the time watching live on CBC I knew he was going to give everything he had to try to repeat as gold medallist 8 years after Sydney. And he almost pulled it off!
I just happened to turn it on at the time, it must have been three or four in the morning just to see the end of it. Watching him throw that visor and just give was honestly one of the most badass things I've seen and definitely represents the Olympic spirit.
Alistair finished 12th in beijing, then won london 2012 and rio 2016, Blummenfelt finished 13th in Rio then won Tokyo 2020
Thank you Olympic finnaly triathlon.
Brownlee eyes at the finish looking at Frodeno. I'll be there one day... and other day as well!
Alistair’s Olympic journey is incredible
I love this moment, when Frodeno wins... YES, YES!!! BOOOM :D
It's amazing, how strong he was on the last meters.
What a beast in the last sprint Frodeno
Gosh I remember this race - Doughty with out Hamish Carter - 4 years later Bevan Doughty 3rd - our Champion Kiwi. Love watching History of our famous Athletes that entertained us over time. Thank you
I love the music for medal ceremony. So beautiful
YASSSSS!!! Thank you for posting this amazing event. My day is made. :-)
Really strong man!
RIP Shane Reed 1973-2022...led the swim beautifully. 😞
THE GOAT!! Thanks for all the emotions Jan!! ❤️
Thank you for posting this!!!!!
Nice. Thanks for uploading, been wanting to see a full replay of this race for a while. Great finale, too bad Gomez wasn't 100%. Frodeno was well deserved champion.
Gomez is probably dissapointed, so would be Brownlee. Both had the guts do to do most of the work in (I think, not 100% sure) their first ever olympics.
Couldn't take my eyes off Jan Frodeno - who in the German Triathlon Federation thought that white shorts were a good idea....
Probably his lol. The other germans are in black and he still wears suits that are very white
He was German champion on the short distance. Those colours are white, while the others are black. Although I also think a little bit less transparent would be better ;-)
Another example for the national jersey being white is Jan Ullrich in the 1997 Tour de France and 2001 Tour de France.
What an introduction for young Alistair Brownlee! He's only ever known one way of racing, from the front...
As proved by his Ironman World Championship debut last weekend! 🤣
Video is playing put no talking from anyone
What a race. Whitfield such a strong bull.
Raña and Gomez so strong as well.
Interesting to see Raña and Gomez make the move that created the winning break. Wonder what was going through the minds of the 6 that made the break just prior to and after that move. Why raña went when he did and why the others hadn’t gone yet because clearly the other 5 still felt they had the legs.
La victoria que le cambio la vida a Frodeno!
Amazing footage especially from 2008
Mate 2008 ain’t like Stone Age or something
Non of the other medalist on podium are in triathlon scene nowadays! Hail to King Jan!🙂🙌
Probably because they are too old!
Rise of the greatest triathlete of all time. THE GREAT JAN FRODENO
This is amazing! Pls also do men's gymnastics! I want to re-live Kohei Uchimura's gold win in Rio 2016! ❤
Amazing athletes all around
트라이애슬론 선수들은 진짜 대단한거 같아요
Amazing Jan :) Legend
Please release the Womens Triathlon as well. It's won by future Mrs. Frodeno ;)
i've been waiting for this video for years
The best sport of the world.
When I see jan sprint like that , I almost cry , the man deserves the gold medal
Gimme more!
What a finish 😀
I like this sport after Badminton and Swimming
Yeay! I like it
Should do more uploading 2008 og matches! Please
勇士们
值得敬佩！
太强捍了！
Whitfield ran an incredible race
Abhinav Bindra winning Olympic gold in China is my absolute favourite!
Alistair Brownlee who is finishing at 12 , Gold in 2012 London and in Rio 2016 early waiting for him in 2020 all the very best Brownlee Brothers 🙂
Great!
amazing to see Alistair come in twelfth knowing how 2012 and 2016 end up!
Frodeno is used to 70 and 140 mile Ironman, this is a warm up for him...
Props to Brockel for taking the gamble to bridge that breakaway of two.. unfortunately, 1 min gap isn't enough. Would have made this race more exciting if they put a euro cycling tour commentator.
Der Jan! Frodissimo!
Whitfield throws off his hat.. time to kick.. Almost had it but Frodeno just had little bit more left in the tank...
Yeah, I think Whitfield wasted too much energy catching up and didnt get far enough in the lead to be able to control it at the end.
Where can I watch this race with English commentary anyone please??
24:26 Frodeno, sportsman!
Cuanto tiempo estuve buscando este video... falto Gomez Noya en ese podium :(
Si, es mi tio
nuuuu querooo agua!
this is so Relaxing to watch … like meditation
thought i was the only one
Фродиссимо!
Wow
Gold medal match. Pv Sindhu and marin
So sad for Gomez,he faded on the last part of the race😑
Run Frodo run!
I want to see again the cycling road (male and female).
Road race and time trial.
Please, can you post again?
Could you also publish Athens 2004 Men's Triathlon?
Was there no commentary?
北京2008のマラソンをフルで出してください!!

The final of the men's eight in Seoul, 1988.
I am happy to see the Canadian guy who finished last :D
He did his job for Whitfield through the bike, leading the pack most of the way chasing down the breakaways. Even if he finished last it was worth celebrating.
Race time 1:29:11. Look at the water boy!!! How that clown got there? "Please no water on me!!"
Dang that's a LONG biking path
Firstly Frodeno and Brownlee had the benefit of full careers in Olympic triathlons. Frodeno wins gold at 27 and Brownlee at 24 and 28. Whitfield did not, he was allready 25 for the first Olympic triathlon. In 2004, Whitfield miscalculated his competitors motivation to bury him in the swim, otherwise he medals, likely gold. In 2012 the crash cost him a likely Top 10 at 37. The triathlon course in London was made for Brownlee and the queen and flat as a pancake. Frodeno winning Ironman at 34, 35 and 38 is ??? Whitfield was the first, he set the bar, he did not have the same benefits as Frodeno and Brownlee who had Whitfield to motivate them. Whitfield still has my vote.
I want cycling road race from beijing 2008
7:05-7:20 it looks like they aren't going anywhere
What this before drones?
cool--bart
4 y 5 💪🇪🇸
Drafting allowed in triathlon?
Why no tt bikes?
not allowed on draft-legal races
rogger55 thanks
too dangerous. Reaction time is way slower and accidents are very likely
What were the distances of this race?
adrian b 1,5/40/10
Men's 20km walk Beijing 2008 please
Only a Canadian would be so happy even in last place
He was a domestique for Whitfield. Not racing for himself.
ชอบๆๆ
Frodeno just went berserk
I saw that there was one triathlete who had just started lap 4 of the cycle leg while the leaders were coming in to complete lap 4 of the cycle leg, should there be a mathematical elimination of that athlete because he was so far behind or what is the rules for that.
Athletes get lapped out of the race on the big leg, meaning that if the leaders are about to catch you and take over, you are out. Here he barely avoided getting lapped.
3:35
why didn't they had pure TT bikes? in road TT olympia races (brasil 18) i saw almost everybody with a TT bike :shrug:
Cause it’s dangerous to ride TT Bikes in large groups. Your reaction to anything will be slower and therefore accidents are way more likely. TT Bikes are just unpractical for triathlons in the elite field and won’t safe any time. At the road TT races they all start alone.
If you crash into another rider, the tt bars could drill into his body.
I like the place... this serious stuff... china's prepare this place and this event very well 👍👍👍
que le paso a serrano? iba en tercero todavia en la bici
Could that commentator please shut it, I am trying to listen to their breathing
Isn‘t It 500m swimming,20km cycling and 5km Running?
No dear 1.5 km swimming
40 km cycling
10 km running
This is sprint distance, but more likely 750 m swim
Who else finds it strange that they numbers are tattooed on their arms and legs?
It can be a bit strange to see but if you think about it a bib or stickers would either get in the way or fall off during the race so it makes sense to do that
@@aggressivelemon3957 but what happens when they get a new number in the next race?
@@stianpollestad754 I'm pretty sure there is only one race so that shouldn't be a problem.
Hello idol nice content, I'm watching and sending full support hope you do the same keep safe and stay connected
.
Olympic Triathlon is definitely a weird event.
All fine with the swim, but the run and especially the bike feel a little absurd to me.
It is not time trialing, but just riding and running in a bunch, which kinda makes the bike the time to sit in the draft and get ready for the run.
Not really what it’s supposed to be, is it?
I'm a little surprised drafting is allowed... that explains no tt bikes and clearly the best runner wins the race
You can lose it on the swim or bicycle, but you can only win it in the run
