In my opinion, the olive wreath should be exclusive to Athens or Rome, because those are the only two modern cities that controlled the Olympics in their first era.
@@taylorburtis I'm fairly certain that Athens is the only modern Olympics to give an olive wreath. But like I said, I'm open to Rome giving out Olive Wreaths as well.

The Ancient Olympics actually have their origin in Olympia, Greece, which is why they're called the Olympics. The Modern Olympics have their origin in Athens.
Well there's a mistake at the weightlifting part. The narrator says that "Dimas is now one of just two weighlifters in Olympic history, to have won three gold medals". The fact is also that Georgian/Greek Kakhi Kakhiasvili has also already won three medals (Barcelona, Atlanta, Sydney) and was competing for his fourth (and unfortunately was disqualified in the same way as Suleymanoglu did in Sydney. No lift in the snatch).
Olympic channel do you have any more Olympic films that you can upload to your channel like Beijing 2008, Vancouver 2010, London 2012, Sochi in 2014 and Rio de Janeiro 2016?
If you consider the the Intercalated games of 1906, you are right. But the IOC wrongly does not consider them as official games. Unfortunately for the IOC Athens was host only 2 times (1896 e 2004)
@@adrianolubini5079 Why "wrongly?" There was never a hint of organising games in 1898, 1902 or 1910. The 1906 Games were merely a 10th anniversary celebration. Only the Greeks wanted them officially recognised. The concept of a 4-year cycle is one of the fundamental principles of the revival, as the ancient games were similarly organised. So there's no case for ever recognising 1906, unless they were differently named perhaps? How about the "1st Pythian Games of the modern era...?"

Dear God! Grant me a way to make enough money to be able to buy back the gold medal Otylia auctioned off to donate the proceeds to leukemia patients. I will never ask for another wish again.
Not a single mention of Dame Kelly Holmes? Yet 15 minutes dedicated to SOFTBALL and 10 to aussie cyclist who was always in Victoria Pendletons shadow? Wow
ok that Jacobson fencer saying that everything you had worked for was gone after losing her semifinal and having to compete for a bronze is Boosh no amarican woman had ever won an Olympic fencing medal isn't everything you have worked for still alive and well?
In 2009 the corrupt prime minister George Papandreou inflated the debt of Greece and borrowed ~ 200 bil € from IMF, ECB, Eurogroup and gave the money to the bankrupt private banks of NB,EURO, ALPHA, PIRAEUS then he had the Parliament vote that the Greek People should pay these loans by reducing salaries , pensions and increasing taxes thus destroying the Economy and enriching his family which had acquired the Credit Default Swaps for 1.3 bil € and was paid later 23 bil€ when Greece declared bankruptcy.

What an incredibly awful film on the Athens Olympics. Too much waffle and not enough action. 14 minutes on baseball, which is not even an international game? A complete wastr of time.
The olive wreath is still the greatest medalist gift unique to an Olympic city.
PlaxicosPistol it symbolises simplicity that the winners don’t compete for gold but for the experience

In my opinion, the olive wreath should be exclusive to Athens or Rome, because those are the only two modern cities that controlled the Olympics in their first era.

This is where the Olympics began in Athens by the Ancient Greeks love history

My country, Paraguay won their first ever olympic medal in Athens! In Football and was Silver medal
and no medals on 2024..
The Otylia's story really moved me to tears. Such a beautiful soul!
Puff
good editing and narration of a great event!
Fun Fact: The Olympic Games in Greece came just after the nation made an unexpected results in Portugal by winning the Euro.
Journey to Athens, mini series episodes from March 25 - August 13, 2004, the Olympic Games are returning back home with the Olympic torch relay.
Yes! Otylia's heart of gold!
hey Bahamas won in the 400m as well this year in the Rio olympic games!
The best olympic games
No way Sydney every day
London beats both
imo Beijing just because of phelps and the 4x100 freestyle relay
i've remembered athens 2004 that was my favourite event of all time

Clown Baby yeah too bad they didnt include it
They included the Marathon in the Atlanta Olympic film. It's at the end.
When the Dream Team in Basketball won the gold in 1992 I was only 1. That was great for them I guess
Also known as "Bud Greenspan's Athens 2004: Stories of Olympic Glory".
Still don’t get why this video included 15 minutes for softball. Nobody cares about it outside the USA
