Gotta love technicalities... Next you'll be telling me that our 1936 ice hockey gold doesn't really count because the team was basically Canadian.

This thread popped up for me and since the last post was from a Canadian, I thought I'd pipe in (2 years later). #1 and #3 - absolutely. #2 - hate to say it, but yes. Every Canadian (at least those over 30) know the name "Ben Johnson". But that's what made Donovan Bailey even sweeter in 1996. #4 - I don't know. Of course most Canadians today know Virtue and Moir, they are on commercials and we all love them. Just not sure if this one routine makes the list. There are so many great Canadian figure skaters and figure skating moments in Canada. I grew up with Kurt Browning and Elvis Stojko. Then there's Joannie Rochette's emotional bronze in 2010 after her mother passed away. #5 - I personally enjoyed this, and the penalty kick comeback makes it an easy highlight reel. But we need time to pass before it makes the the list. Possible nominations for the list: Many of these are older, so it's just about generations, I guess. -Crosby's Golden Goal will forever be #1. However, the golds in 2002 by both our men's and women's teams were crazy huge. First gold for the men in 50 years, while the women got revenge for 1998. I was in the streets in Montreal after the 2002 men's win and it was nuts till the early morning. -Schmirler the Curler winning the first curling gold in 1998. At the time Canada didn't win many golds, even at the WOG. With the men's curling and both hockey teams failing to win that year, this was our pride and joy. -Sylvie Frechette getting silver in synchro swimming in 1992 after a judge's error. The Brazilian judge accidentally pressed the wrong number (8.7 instead of 9.7) pushing Frechette down to silver. Despite alerting the officials right away it took a year and a half for the IOC to finally give her the gold. To make matters worse, she came home to find her boyfriend who had committed suicide shortly before the Olympics. -The Dufour-Lapointe sisters getting gold and silver in 2014 in moguls. Their other sister got 12th. -To stick with Moguls, Alexandre Bilodeau winning Canada's first gold on home soil in their 3rd home Games, with his brother cheering along in the crowd. -When TV channels would sign off for the night back in the old days () CBC would play Greg Joy's silver medal performance in high jump from 1976. I was actually born after that took place, but I remember as a kid seeing that jump late at night on TV. -Ross Rebagliati won gold in the first snowboard event in 1998, then had it taken away because he tested positive for marijuana, then got it back because the COC protested that marijuana was not a banned substance. Everyone laughed that of course the snowboarder was a pothead. People my age remember this well since Rebagliati's defence that he must have inhaled secondhand pot at a party became a rallying cry of every teenager for years to come.

meanwhile looks like Olympiacos is having a great year , they are the Champions of UEFA Youth League as the 1st Greek team ever to win the tournament and they are qualified to Semis of Conference league

For the Brits I’d have to agree with my other commentators on: - redgrave’s 5th “‘the Italians are coming!” - men’s 4x 100m - I’m not sure I’ve ever been more pumped watching the Olympics 🤣 - also like the Redmond inclusion for what the spirit of the games is all about id like to throw in a nomination for Jason Kenny in the Kierin Tokyo 2021 - the end of his career, hadn’t really shown any form in the individual sprint and looked like a rather meek goodbye - then in the final against an odds on fav in Harry L, he drifts off the front and isn’t immediately closed down and goes full gas 3 laps out to win by half the straight. Beautiful chaos. I’d also mention Adlington’ 400m free Beijing 2008 when she came from nowhere to win. The US comms didn’t even mention her name until the last 10 metres! GB took 2 medals home from that race with Jo Jackson getting bronze which was a shock.

Yeah you’re right

That 'gold every games' record is impressive, but it's on the shoogliest of pegs re: 1904. The single gold, won by a man who refused British money and a British uniform, insisted he represented only Ireland, and tried to tear down the Union Flag! Still, adds to the gaiety of Olympic history. my own fives change daily but: Ireland: Katie Taylor 2012 Michael Carruth+Wayne McCullough O'Donavons' silver (I know the gold was four years later, and better, but that first rowing medal said we'd arrived) Pat O'Callaghan's hammer, the first Ronnie Delaney A certain ginger swimmer who rattled when shook has been expunged from memory.

I see no one from US has responded to this. I've tried to come up with a list of most significant/infamous US moments across Olympic history, not my 5 moments. 1. Jesse Owens 4 gold medals in 1936. 2. 1980 US Ice Hockey team (although I personally believe the 1960 ice hockey team was a greater sports accomplishment). 3. 1972 US Basketball team. 4. 1994 Womens figures skating. 5. Frank Shorter 1972 Marathon (because it really triggered the running revolution in the US).

I suspect the 4 x 100 guys will be a secret fave of more than you'd think - the story was just so good, Had a mini "miracle on ice"/Hogan's Heroes vibe to it . It should have been impossible. It was impossible. They did it anyway. THAT'S the Olympics!
