DPR Korea's Un Guk Kim sets a new world record with a total lift of 327kg to win the gold medal in the men's 62kg event at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Although men's weightlifting has always been on the programme of the Olympic Games - except for at the 1900, 1908 and 1912 editions -- women started to participate only at the 2000 Games in Sydney.
The Olympic weightlifting programme has evolved greatly over time. Today, weightlifters compete in snatch and clean and jerk, and are placed according to their total combined result. From the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, men have competed in eight weight categories and women in seven. This total of 15 events remains unchanged.

His jump at the end was so precious
Like you
So this is basically a win or die situation. Literally.
lol the world may never know lol...
shut up stop spreading slander, if people were killed as much as people like you say they are then the population of that country would be like only 1m
undeadpresident God you're an idiot, he's talking about the weight that he's lifting. Lift the weight, you win. Fail to lift all that weight that is over your head, have it potentially fall anywhere on your body, which would most likely either severely injure you or straight up kill you.
Timothy Van Graafeiland No, OP meant that since the lifter is from North Korea, he would face severe consequences for not winning. OP was referring to possibly getting killed for it which is an exaggeration in my opinion, but he would definitely face consequences being that he's from North Korea.
mliniman you make it sound like they are going to a gulag for not winning a sporting competition. Not true. But like any country if you don't cut it at sports then you have to do something else that you probably wouldn't like to do as much.
1:22 when you remember Kim Jon Un is watching
🤣😂🤣😂
😂😂
This is probably the smartest sport in which to participate, if you're from N. Korea. You have to eat heartily to get this strong. He's probably one of the best fed men in N. Korea.
LGunchained besides the high ranking officers and Kim Jong un and his family
I was thinking the same thing
north korea hasn't had food shortages and mass famine in over 20 years lol
@@saintnicole3209 🤣
@@saintnicole3209 ah did you go to all the rural villages in the drp and ask them if they have enough food?
He failed the first time. I'm sure he got a phone call from KJU that said "camp 14" and he succeeded the second time.
lol
omg mate. you cracked me up
best comment on youtube 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
this is why youtube comments are the best
where did u learn such a knowledgeable informative thing ,
1:05 he was having flashbacks of the labor camp they said he was going to if he failed
He still can hear the voices of horror ringing in his ears.
bruh
Crusader Nikolai . Go re Friday
lol true
He is like an anime character who gets stronger by remembering the power of friendship but in this case he remembered the power of Kimship
comments section
90% slamming north korea
10% actually about the sport
For those wondering why he saluted at the end, I think there are two reasons: 1, he is most likely a soldier, due to the conscription laws in the country, and 2, north koreans are taught that going to the army is the most honourable thing, even better than going to university. Therefore the salute was likely a sign of great respect
thank you!
N. Korea culture is very military based.
So that's kinda normal
North Korea's entire GDP was spent on this guy.
actually look at fat kim jong un
I'm weak af
HAHAHAHA . . . .
That's funny
actually, 10% on him, 70% on kim jong un, 19.999% on nuclear bomb and 0.001% on north korean citizens.
Guys, it's not funny. Making fun on someone's achievement is never funny. Even though he is from North Korea, we should respect him.
Well said
No one is taking his achievement away. We re just making jokes about the regime
Well you must be fun at parties, ppl can make jokes if they wish
@@liamcosgrave69 Telling a bad joke at a party isn't fun.
@@CommunistBot and what consists a bad joke is subjective, not just based on what you specifically find funny
This was of course only made possible by the great leader Kim Jong Un.
I think it was him in disguise
He had a similar name!
Yes, because if everyone would get that much food like him, everyone would be fat. And so he eats it as a favour, so all North Koreans can get really sporty.
Carmelo pearman i
Thanks
You can see him having a second of a flashback of his family getting murdered if he does not win this competition. 1:03
Ahah
Stfu!! You're the devil!!!
Lol
OMG :')
+Lizard Queen lol...funny
I can't get over how easy he made it look. My favorite athlete in the sport. Absolute stud.
His coach took him quickly backstage. "Time to go back to North Korea, son"
+Kofukufufu no. everywhere in the world is real
LikeaDJG u missed his point
So that's where North Korea's food went...
Now his family gets to eat
Peak
+A Pacing Goose You're god damn right, maybe has a new building too.
why are people so racist to people sometimes. its stupid
No you mean his family doesn't get sent to camp 14.
Now his family is rich
He trained for this by lifting Kim Jong-un once a day.
🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
when he broke the world record the anti aircraft artillery was lowered from his family and they won't get sent to Camp 14
L
1:28 it sounds like h20 delirious screaming
omg yess
lool your right XD
Lol your another 12 year old gamer huh?
Zuriel Ioasa *you're
+The EGG *your
I actually watch this video everyday for inspiration.
.
I wonder if all athletes from NK have to go surrender their medals to KJU and the media then tells the country that it is their leader who has won all the medals.
lol probably
In 2010 apparently the North Korean media declared that they won the football World Cup while they merely qualified.
+Shoaib Ahmed this was a hoax
That was a hoax.
Atleast they've got some medals. Your country? The last time I checked they were desperately begging for cricket to be an olympic sport so they can finally get a medal for their 1.4 billion ppl.
1:27 he went super saiyan.
Gerald Ander Lee 我
i dont think it doesn't really matters what nationality the man is. He's done a great achievement through hard work and he deserves to be applauded.
Everyone trying his best to pull the best joke thinking it's funny.
You too and this was the best try wkwkwk
Not all of them are, but there are few that made me giggle.
I like how the coach always has his hand on Kim, probably in fear that he'll run away..
Ayyyy...any North Koreans in the comment section?
Probs not
North Korea is a massive prison. What'd you expect?
Hahahahaha
only if they had world wide web
avanish pank 😂😂😂😂
With those arms in that weight division, you can win almost everything.
What are you talking about? Like that he has short arms or muscular
@@tetevenskatazigula6788 muscular 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
it's a shame the arms only do like 10% of work in olympic weightlifting haha
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you...
North Korea's 25 dollar man.
Haha
KJU: "And here you see my gold medal that I got from the 2012 Olympics. *chuckles* This was when I broke the world record."
Tourist: "But I thought Un Guk Kim won it?"
KJU: *pulls trigger* "Send him to camp 4"
Basically the entire North Korea sacrificed their entire country so this one guy can get the gold medal
Lol so trie
Wow this is incredible! Almost 3x his body weight!
Excellent lift great form
really great! All that dedication paid off
bro was deff saying "love you mom, see you in heaven if I don't break it" for that 2-3 second wait.
good for him! He's a national hero now and gives hope to a country that needs it the most
Please lets get this to 2 million views. I've watched this 50 times at least across the course of 2018
Naim suleymanoglu nu izle
2 million views now
his life was on the line
No it wasn't.
North Korea are reading our comments
Forreal but how can they understand English?
The people dont have net, but the Gov and surveillance teams do. And they use it and have people manipulate what they want, especially news and media. The elite and the people that run these services for the Gov have been well educated and speak/read/write great English if they need to.
¡Excelente atleta Kim Un Guk! 🇰🇵🏅
awesome. proud of you!
aww he was so happy :')
His little jump was adorable... ^o^
Awesome salute. Good for him.
I guess his family got food for a week for him doing that.
Pretty sure he got a year's worth of food.
@@thesun849 don't forget it's north Korea they don't play that nice sun
Kim-Jong Un is proud of him :3
What really insults me about this comment section is that everyone is cracking jokes about him, when he lifted a new World Record. Thanks for offering a positive comment.
+DualScreenGamers A world record is supposed to be celebrated :3 I didnt even recognize the comment section :P
Most of the jokes are not about this incredible athlete (who may or may not be clean), but about the terrible country/prison he comes from and sadly had to represent here.
+barath4545 i thought everyone is making fun of him becuz hes from North Korea
Congratulations to Mr Kim beautiful performance amazing fantastic won a gold medal for Asian. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏👏👏👏
Does he even li-
Oh.
my thought exactly XD
He just saved him and his family's life.
The supreme leader could lift even more!
Absolutely, FANTASTIC!!!
That was amazing!
Amazing lift
wow ! what a practice they have!!
I hope he has a movie about him
cant help but smile at that salute though.
Wow, it makes me laugh to see so many comments about the DPRK that isn't even true.
Don't mind them. Search up any other video of any other guy not from America or it's ally countries and you'll find these same nationalities hating and mocking in the comments section. They are all rotten to the core. They all suffer from inferiority complexes and hate makes them feel better about their miserable, worthless lives. It's a part of their culture.
TheMishmisheh That was such a huge generalization. It really makes you look unintelligent.
next TOKYO 2020.
welcome.
from JAPAN🇯🇵
He is a hero in my country.
What I'm relatively proud of was that just about everyone in that hall was cheering him on.... you heard the noise.
Don't care where someone is from, just want them to do well.
Though admittedly most people in the hall probably wouldn't know the difference between north and south Korea ;)
Nothing like the fear of death to motivate you
Not true.
do you think he got to keep the medal?
Why wouldn't he? If it that was a joke, it was a terrible attempt at humour; if you are being serious, then you're just sad and ignorant.
+Kai H. It's a serious question. I'm curious as to if he actually gets to keep his medal. I don't see how that's ignorant. I mean it's not like I would want his medal to be taken away of course he should keep it. I'm just curious as to how that sort of thing would be handled considering he lives in the most strict and secretive country on the planet.
***** Ah ok, apologies. There's so many comments like this and I'm just really sick of them. To answer your question, yes, they do get to keep their gold medals, this has nothing to do with politics. In fact, North Korean gold medal winners in the Olympics are awarded gold watches and mansions by the government (at least in recent Olympics).
no it was melted into a nuclear alloy
+Stuart O I'm pretty sure he doesn't live in North Korea...
Good for him!
BEAUTIFUL
and salutes his glorious leader after the lift
Anybody know what shoes he's got on? I think they're asics but I'm not sure. Anybody know the specific model?
He was so happy:)
Now he and his family can have some food.
he looked so happy :)
They killed his pet goldfish as pre-motivation, with his family held hostage.
Great leader lifted this as a toddler
I do this for my warmup set
Which weight class is this
Thats probably the first time hes heard an audience cheer for real and not out of fear
First time for nations colonized by your country too.
@@yujimemon8221 Yeah, so many racists in this comment section. They don't think North Korea is a state run by human beings.
1:20 this is the first time I’ve seen a North Korean express joy
When you believe in something remember than an asian guy can beat you.
not in 100 meter dash he can
Maxx Snow 110m hurdles though..
hlaakso nah
Maxx Snow Well, this is an exception...
Ezra Freeborn table tennis
Gave me chills
He did it for the dear leader
did some body hear that scream
Yeah someone got shot
what was the old record??
When your life is on the line anything is lightwork
Not true.
what was up with the texas fan that was pumped at 1:29?
show respect to north korea
I'll show respect to the athlete and his fellow countrymen. I will not show respect to a tyrannical government. (I'm not just talking about NK here)
AWESOME!
wait I dont understand, didnt hossein rezzazde lift like 263 kg? what is it that i´m missing
it's a record in his weight class
Hoang Duong Le ah ty
yea it wouldn't be fair at all if you compared records beyond weight classes because 62kg lifters will obviously not be able to lift nearly as much as 105+ lifters while staying in the weight.
the actual world record is 266kg in 1988 (by leonid taranenko), but the IWF scrapped old records when the weight classes were rescheduled. so once again its a fight for the top
what food?
looks like he was fed well
Good for him
Un Guk Kim is awesome
Hard to describe just how over this guy was, everyone went nuts for him
Why is the sound not synchronized with the picture?
Interviewer: "How do you train?"
Him: " Everyday"
Now that's motivation.
The threat of him and following generations going to prison camps is probably a great motivator.
Not true.
Bill Bradley said of playing against the Soviet Olympic team, “They were tough to beat. After all, they were playing for their lives.”
Not true. So not true.
How gullible you have to be to believe this
ITS A BUFF NORTH KOREAN!!!! well that's a first. i expected them to be skinny and bony.
true........
***** >justifying north korea
LOL WUT
***** >implying the truth about north korea is lies
>implying the camp survivors are lying
>implying north korea is a pretty chill place
>implying north korea isnt as bad of a place to live as media says
lel
Yeaaah! I'll keep my head!
I feel oddly happy for him haha
His little jump lol it's cute.
watching this felt so painful. it is so evident that he's confined no matter what he does and his love for the sport is retained by the government of North Korea. Even the coach had to always hold him firm so he won't make a escape. Truly sad moment more than victory.
Kim Un Gug, is the BEST OF THE WORLD !!!!!!
