rafalgorka 1,394 Posted January 14, 2021 Author #97 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Probably my favourite olympic moment ever. The biggest olympic sports emotions for me ever. https://youtu.be/h-yrG0deqB8 M high jump final, Atlanta 1996 First, Artur Partyka jumps 237 with such an enormous clearance Then, Charles Austin jumps 239 Although only Silver, this is my fav Polish olympic medal in history. That contest was really something, nothing has been better than that so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipooo 617 Posted January 14, 2021 #98 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I have three amazing moments which makes me cry: Torino 2006 - cross-country skiing - Women 30km - Kateřina Neumannová and her finish! (it was her last olympic track) Beijing 2008 - athletics - Women javelin throw - Barbora Špotáková and her last sixth throw in which she break the russian leader Maria Abakumova. Barbora's win is more valuable, because exactly that day was the 40th anniversary of the Soviet occupation. (Barbora had been never threw over 70 metres before) Pyeongchang 2018 - Alpine skiing - Women super-G - Ester Ledecká. Just phemonemal... In her called "The Amphibian" Oooh! I have a goosebumps hckošice and rafalgorka 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafalgorka 1,394 Posted January 14, 2021 Author #99 Share Posted January 14, 2021 @Hipooo thank you for these videos! Never watched Ledecka race with Czech commentary :-) that's great. I haven't heard Spotakova story about Soviet occupation anniversary before, either. And this 30km Torino race was great gold for Katerina Neumannova greeted by her kid at the finish, but also first olympic medal for Justyna Kowalczyk, who DNF 10 km race few days earlier (because she fainted, they say) but in 30km she came back strongly. It turns out - what a-moment that was for both of us. Hipooo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
