Astonishing to think that Daley's Long Jump of 8.01m would have placed him 5th in the individual event at these Olympics. Unbelievable talent for a Decathlete.
Seb is white Tory. Daley is black. Hence the coverage difference. Daley is the best British athlete of all time…He was lightening fast and had the heart of a lion.
Steve Ovett doesn’t get the credit he deserves nor Steve Cram, and they’re both white. Dame Kelly Holmes gets credit so does Sir Mo Farah and Dames Jessica Ennis and Denise Lewis. Daley was controversial in his day and didn’t play the game, nor did Steve Ovett. And who cares anyway they won gold medals and broke world records. You spend your days looking for things to slap the word “racism” on ?
@@wakstar1That’s got fuck all to do with it you muppet! I loved DT when I was a kid, he was my favourite athlete and so did most of my friends. All of us are white. The sad fact is that the Decathlon although in my opinion is far superior to anything else in the games does not get anywhere near the level of interest of some other events especially the running ones. Are you honestly telling me that Usain Bolt gets under represented or praised because he’s black? They love him everywhere and they never stop raving about him. So tired of reading these bullshit anti white comments by leftist liberal fuck heads! Since DT I’ve heard fuck all about the Decathlon as an event because sadly people prefer mainly the running events. No more shit spouting please.
@@wakstar1I think it was because Daley was forthright, outspoken, and some say anti establishment. Coe on the other hand wasn't those things. Steve Ovett also never got the recognition he deserved in comparison to Coe.
Reminded a bit of me of botham around same time.. larger than life character, anti establishment, outspoken and a bit of a jack the lad. Never going to go down well with the old farts.. absolute class athlete though, should be Sir Francis Morgan Ayodele Thompson
Daley is not famous in the U.S. and he should be. What a fantastic athlete he was. I got to meet Daley briefly through my old track coach Marty Krulee.
Awesome - the word was invented for this man. Absolute disgrace he wasn't chosen to light the torch and he should have been knighted. So much more deserving than a lot of the others who have been knighted since. I love watching these vids.
D. PRYYNCE I guess athletes like Peter Snell and Steve Ovett must be black, if that's your theory. And from other sports, three-times Olympic gold medallists Jack Beresford, Henry Taylor, Reginald Doherty, Richard Meade, Charles Sydney Smith, they must all have been born black too. And I'm guessing Dame Kelly Holmes is white, as is Sir Bill Morris, Sir Trevor McDonald, Dame Shirley Bassey, Colin Powel (knighted, but being an American citizen can't use the title 'Sir'), Sir Sydney Poitier, and Dame Diane Abbott.
What a legend. It’s now 2022 and he has championed keeping women’s sports exclusively for female-bodied athletes, at a time when countless other famous male athletes have kept quiet for fear of the trans activists. He is a brave principled man, a hero, and loved by many.
Daley Thompson didn't associate himself with those involved doping, lie about having injections of a controversial supplement, or start throwing toys out of his pram or start 'playing cards' when asked difficult questions. Daley was, is, and probably always be number one, at least in my eyes and during my lifetime.
Extraordinary athlete. One of the greatest of all time without a shadow of a doubt. The only reason he wasn't granted a knighthood is because he chose not to have tits grafted on and ponce about in a shiny dress.
This man is a total legend! My childhood hero! He should have been chosen to light the Olympic torch! Best All rounder Britain Ever produced!!
Better than my neighbour Jürgen Hingsen.
Astonishing to think that Daley's Long Jump of 8.01m would have placed him 5th in the individual event at these Olympics. Unbelievable talent for a Decathlete.
10.45 could have qualified him for the final of the 100m that year too.
Yeah, my childhood favorite, his posters used to adorn my walls. His long jump was amazing by any means. Always smiling and a tremendous sports man.
Daley is the man, an awesome competitor. My altletics childhood hero. He deserves a knighthood.
The amount of attention Seb Coes sporting achievements receive in comparison to Daley is laughable. Daley was the supreme athlete. Incredible.
Seb is white Tory. Daley is black. Hence the coverage difference. Daley is the best British athlete of all time…He was lightening fast and had the heart of a lion.

Daley Thompson.........The Ultimate Athlete
What a competitor.......what a moustache!!
Atlast somebody mentioned his walrus mush....!?.
Fantastic athlete...him and jurgen hingsen. Those were the days....
Legend - one of the first athletes I remember my dad telling me about as a kid. Great competitor.
I used to play this on ZX Spectrum. Graphics look better than I remember.
Daley is not famous in the U.S. and he should be. What a fantastic athlete he was.
I got to meet Daley briefly through my old track coach Marty Krulee.
Billy Bussey He's Certainly better than Bruce Jenner!!
I guess if we'd got to see Thompson v Jenner in 1980, he'd have been more noted.
Yeah, Americans don't like somebody that good that isn't American.
Awesome - the word was invented for this man. Absolute disgrace he wasn't chosen to light the torch and he should have been knighted. So much more deserving than a lot of the others who have been knighted since. I love watching these vids.
Greatest Decathlete of all time without question. Charismatic too.
I WATCHED IT BACK THEN,IT WAS GREAT.
Daley Thompsom is a legend and should be knighted and celebrated on tv all the time. Why the hell isn't this so?
Cos we decathletes don't get any media time ever
because he is black. simple as that
Could be that he cheekily whistled during the National Anthem or have you considered that he may have refused the honour?

interesting point, but where are they now...?

Daley was my childhood hero. I adored him.
David Coleman "10.45 is good".........bit of an understatement!!!!!!!!! An awesome athelete.
Sir Daley was a machine!
daley thompson u r my hero i love u soo much......... i really want 2 see u face 2 face...........
This guy is king
Never got the recogntion he deserves
He was awesome!!
I see someone has 'disliked' this video.........It's an easy guess that its you Jurgen Hingsen.
Daley is the greatest decathlete in history and Britain's 2nd greatest Track and field Star after Mo Farrah. What a man, he was INCREDIBLE.
Eric George He's. Number 1!!!!
Daley Thompson didn't associate himself with those involved doping, lie about having injections of a controversial supplement, or start throwing toys out of his pram or start 'playing cards' when asked difficult questions.
Daley was, is, and probably always be number one, at least in my eyes and during my lifetime.
@@jaysmith2858 His all round ability was awesome.
Thanks so much for uploading.
Much respect!!!!!!
He is the best
Best athlete England produced
daley you utter legend!
The GOAT UK sportsman of all time
Without a shadow of doubt daly is and will always be the greatest Sports person we’ve produced. Fact
Greatest
Daley Thompson's best in 100m is 10.26s
Usain Bolt's best in 100m is 9.58s
whats Usain Bolts best shot putt?
I used to be a decent club middle distance runner - I bet my 1500m PB is far superior to Usain Bolt's. I really don't see what your point is here.
What’s Bolts long jump, Pole vault and javelin?
Awesome video! Anybody else noticed that Hingsen was running on the inside line of his lane on the 400m? Can you get disqualified for that?
if you repeat it or are constantly on the line then yes.
Probably a bit late
Great Britain will never witness anyone as impressive as Thompson ever again I just watch this instead of the London overhyped snobs Olympics
So true
Ha, ha... he was never given the respect due to him. He was a very humble man. No airs around him. True professional.
How the hell is this guy not Sir Daley Thomson yet? It's a bloody disgrace.
He is simply outrageously amazing..
awesome - at last Daley gets the exposure he deserves on youtube - you got any stuttgart 90?
Hinksen looked like he was running out of his lane in the 400 metres
I too thought the same, funny it went unnoticed by the officials there....!!??.
Im disappointed... HE SHOULD HAVE LIT THE CAULDRON IN THE OLYMPIC STADIUM FOR THE OPENING CEREMONY!
I broke numerous joysticks trying to emulate Daley on the ZX Spectrum
It wasn't David Coleman commentating, it was Stewart Storey...
Daley is one fine looking man...
legend
The ultimate competitor.. 😀👍
Extraordinary athlete. One of the greatest of all time without a shadow of a doubt.
The only reason he wasn't granted a knighthood is because he chose not to have tits grafted on and ponce about in a shiny dress.
the good old days where there should have been a medal for the best chemist
what do you mean??
Amen
Whyd they skip shot put
Brilliant athlete, he was that superior to his rivals he could still beat them with that big heavy tash
Can Yılmaz
Klişe Hayatlar Matbaası.
Daley Thompson Bize Niye El Sallasın ki?
O Günleri Yaşatan Güzel Bir Hikaye...
Superman
Proper tache
I guess Hingsen crossed the line ten times running his 400 meters
sorry, stuttgart 86 even
He's a real person? I thought it was just a video game!
Oh Hudson Hudson ..
Those were the days.
