You are wrong about him being the only Olympic and Paralympic medalist. Randy Snow USA accomplished this too with a Silver in the 84 Olympics and a Gold in the 92 Paras.
His wheelchair event was added at the 1984 Olympics as an exhibition event, it was not a proper medal event and the IOC doesn't count it as a true Olympic medal. But more importantly, what I said in the video was that Szekeres was the only person to win an Olympic medal, become injured, and then win a Paralympic medal. That doesn't apply to Randy Snow. Even still, Randy Snow is a brilliant athlete and more than deserving of recognition! Thanks for checking out the video.
Thank you for sharing his story. Greetings from Hungary.
Cheers from Canada, thanks for checking out the video and for your support! You have a real hero over there in Hungary and it was a pleasure to tell his story
You dont know about south african swimmer
Please tell me about it
@@voxathletica there was a swimmer who won both in deaflympics and olympics in 200m breastroke in 2004 olympics
@@Karlmarx-r9d Do you recall the athlete's name? It's slightly different as the deaflympics are different from the Parlaympics but it sounds interesting and I'd like to learn more
@@voxathletica his name is Terence Parkin

My favorite part of the opening ceremonies is when the athletes come out and wave to people it's riveting.
Exciting stuff, imagine how those athletes feel walking out there
Monaco has been in the most Olympics without winning a medal in a sporting event.
The Olympic record of Monaco is incredible, I'm debating whether it deserves a whole video on its own
Idea for a video:Countries that greatly improved thier medal count over the years such as obviously China,France,Italy and countries that regressed like Bulgaria,Romania,Austria,Finland there are lot of factors behind both reasons
That's a fantastic idea, I love it. Thanks so much for suggesting it!
I like how you ended the video focusing on accessibility ❣️
It's exactly what the man himself would have wanted!
Excellent video , your new focus of the channel is spot on 👏👏👏..and what a romantic figure , I love romance , specially romantic stories and this is one of the best ❤🙏🤺
Thank you so much for all of your support and encouragement! And I completely agree, this is one of those stories that I'll always remember, it's incredible and inspiring
Suggestion for a video: Athletes who represented three or more countries. A few examples: - Allison Reed, figure skating: born in the US to a Japanese mother, Reed represented Georgia at the 2010 Winter Olympics because that was her then skating partner's country and she was given a Georgian passport. Due to partnerships changes, she then represented Israel and later Lithuania for whom she won a bronze medal at this year's championships. She couldn't get Lithuanian citizenship on time for the 2022 Winter Olympics, but she's planning to end her career at the 2026 Winter Olympics representing that country. - Yamilé Aldama, triple jump: Cuban-born Aldama defected to England, but due to her process to earn British citizenship taking too long and unable to properly compete being nationless, in 2004 she agreed to compete for Sudan, the country she represented at the 2004 and 2008 Olympics. Finally Aldama got British citizenship in 2010, and in time to represent GB at the 2012 Olympics (also winning the world indoor title that year at age 39!) - Connor O'Brien, alpine skiing: born in Canada and raised in the US, due to the tough rosters of the US and Canadian skiing teams, O'Brien decided to compete internationally for Great Britain, due to his father being from Northern Ireland, representing GB at the 1984 Winter Olympics. He later retired from the sport and got a job on Wall Street, but decided to go back to skiing to try to qualify for the 1994 Winter Olympics, which he did, this time representing his mother's birth country: Estonia.
Thanks for the idea for the video topic, that is FASCINATING for sure! And I appreciate the few names to get me started, great stuff!
Don't forget Oksana Chusovitina, the only gymnast to complete in eight Olympic games! She represented three countries: the Unified Team (ex Soviet Union) in 1992; Uzbekistan in 1996, 2000, and 2004; Germany in 2008 and 2012; then Uzbekistan again in 2016 and 2020. Oksana is a truly inspiring athlete.
@@loganrae6342 Chusovitina's case has an asterisk because Uzbekistan was in the territory covered by the 1992 Unified Team and had she won an individual medal, the Uzbekistan flag would be raised at the podium. The same asterisk applies to other 1992 Unified Team athletes like the archers Natalia Valeeva (EUN > Moldova > Italy) and Khatuna Lorig (EUN > Georgia > USA). Having said that, Chusovitina's history and her legacy in gymnastics are amazing so I agree that she should be included.
Think this is why you're (fancy new) channel appeals to me so much. I don't want stories about Michael Phelps, Mark Spitz or Nadia Comeneci. I was this kind of stuff that's obscure but should be very well known
I strongly agree 👏🙏
Thank you for the kind words, and I definitely have been conscious about the stories I bring to the table. It's all about balance to me, as there are so many people like this who deserve to be better known. Thanks, as always, for your support!
Next video :The best Olympics
It's on the list for sure, appreciate the suggestion! Which one do you think was the best and why?
Futsal replacing football is a great idea. The 50m pool events should be obvious. Would love to see what Tom Pidcock would do with downhill mountain bike ! Two more - Underwater Hockey- already in SE Asian games, big following in Asia and played world wide. Netball, one of the biggest events in the Commonwealth games, big in Africa and the Caribbean, a really exciting event. Hadn't seen that second event before, could definitely do with more exposure, wow !
Sepak takraw is wild, isn't it?!?! Sounds like we're on the same page with quite a few of these, neat idea with Underwater Hockey too. I don't know much about that one, but it sure looks interesting!
Add Nepal to the list.
For sure, it's going on a future update to this video!
why did the channel change name?
The channel is shifting a little bit from being focused on general lists to being more oriented towards sports lists and related sports topics. The name and branding of the channel didn't really fit anymore, so I wanted to make it clearer for viewers what the channel was all about!
@@voxathletica ohh thanks makes sense
@@user-qz3qd3ly7b Thanks for asking, hope you like it!
Add Nepal to the list 🥳❤️
It'll be on a future update for sure! Thanks for checking out the video
Lacrosse 🥍 and Cricket 🏏 is coming back to the 2028 Olympic Games in LA the same time as Squash and flag football 🏈 are going to be added in 2028 Olympic Games. Darts 🎯, billiards 🎱, and bowling 🎳 and parkour should be in the Olympic Games in the future
I'm super pumped for those new events, I'm curious how they'll do and which will stick around for future Olympics. Which one are you most excited about?
I know it was weird how Macau can't participated at olympic. While Hong Kong can participated in Olympic while still as special administration region of China. It was short lived for Hong Kong and Macau. As both territory will dissapeared and become fully part of China by the year 2047 and 2049. After 50 years as special administration region.
Definitely some change coming in the future for both of those territories in the coming years, and the Olympics is probably the least of it. Thanks for checking out the video!
@@voxathletica Thanks for you too. By the way, Nice to see you've been change your channel. Your must be more focus and information about sport.
@@aniqnazri3863 Thanks, and yes the focus of the channel going forward is going to be all about sports. It's my fav topic and it's the one that my viewers seem to have been most responsive to, so it makes sense. Here's hoping folks like it!
Forget the Paralympics; I'm amazed by what I learned about Macau as a region. The fact that their gambling scene is about 7x bigger than Las Vegas' is surprising, amazing, and upsetting. So many gambling addicts...
Macau is a fascinating place on so many levels. I had the pleasure of going there in person a few years ago and I can absolutely confirm its gambling scene is MASSIVE. Their high limit rooms make the Vegas high limits look like peanuts...
Do I get credit for knowing, Macau, even though I just learned about it's participation in the Paralympics from a video of your I just watched?
Yes, full credit for you! Thanks for watching!
You were right, that was fascinating! Thank you to the suggester and to you for covering it. Separately Macau sounds awful, but the Faroes sound like everything I have ever dreamed of because I am a New Yorker and humidity is my friggin' life! Lol I also love anything that gets the Paralympics some talking up. So thanks for that as well.
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the video! Macau and the Faroe Islands are the very opposites of one another in so many ways, and I don't blame you for wanting to escape the humidity!
The main reason that, unlike the Paralympic Games, Macau and Faroe Islands cannot participate in the Olympics is due to the rule instated by the Olympic Charter in 1996 that a new country must be recognized by the UN and international community for it to take part. However, the ten dependent territories that were already competing independently at the Olympics were allowed to continue to do so: Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, Virgin Islands (US territories), Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands (British Overseas Territories), Aruba (constituent country of the Kingdom Of Netherlands), the Cook Islands (territory under New Zealand jurisdictuon) and Hong Kong (Special Admnistrative Region of China). That was also the case of Netherlands Antilles (who even won a medal at the 1988 Olympics) until their dissolution in 2010. Unfortunately, Macau and Faroe Islands didn't get to have their NOCs recognized before that rule change and cannot compete independently at the Olympics unless they get total autonomy and internationally recognized independence. (Macau does compete separately at the Asian Games, as their NOC is recognized by the Olympic Council of Asia.)
Thanks for leaving the highly detailed explanation here in the comments for other viewers, much appreciated!
Always found the Faroes an amazing place. So close geographically to Scotland where I'm from and in many ways so similar but in other ways so different. Thanks for covering them (and Macau). Kind of on that subject. Why there is a UK team in some sports and why they are split up in others might be a fun research for you
Funny you should mention that UK topic, it's a weird one. Someone mentioned it to me during the Olympics (ie. why there is a team GB at the Olympics, but not in other major events), I think I need to give this a look. Thanks as always for checking out the video and leaving your thoughts, I appreciate it!
Michigan & Ohio State Football want to know your location LOL (kidding ofc) This is a historic baseball rivalry indeed and most people who root for teams other than those two generally despise them both equally. (I am a Blue Jays fan and I hate both of them, but I can't help but respect the rivalry the two have!)
LOL you're absolutely right, these two teams are very polarizing, you kind of either love them or hate them, but either way you still respect them And don't you worry about Michigan/Ohio State, they'll be on this channel in the not-so-distant future!
They should bring back pistol dueling, it was in the olympics back in the day and it would be safe like modern fencing. It would be a cool shooting event to watch unlike the ones we have today which are a bit boring.
More than a few folks would agree with you there, and there's definitely plenty of ways to make it safe in the modern era. If you think about it, is it really all that different from fencing, just different weapons?
0:50 “that’s right, no referees.” And the guy in the black pants and striped shirt walking along with the game play, bending down to closely see if the catch was made, is…?
Per Wikipedia: From its beginnings in the American counterculture of the late 1960s, ultimate has resisted empowering any referee with rule enforcement. Instead, it relies on the sportsmanship of players and invokes the "spirit of the game" to maintain fair play. Players call their own fouls, and dispute a foul only when they genuinely believe it did not occur. Playing without referees is the norm for league play but has been supplanted in club competition by the use of "observers" or "game advisors" to help in disputes, and the professional league employs empowered referees.
ha that’s me
I'm honored!
The video for you talk about the country that has won the paralympics medal but without the olympics medal was so fantastic. As from my home country, Malaysia. We already won the first gold medal at Paralympics Rio 2016 by athletics. And we become the first country to win paralympics medal in Seoul 1988 in weightlifting, four years before we get first medal at Olympics medal in Badminton. I just really hoping Malaysia can get Olympics gold medal one day. But Congratulstion to our single badminton who won the first gold at paralympics paris 2024 to Malaysia. It was so fantastic game by the way.
Congrats to Malaysia on their gold! I am with you, I hope that Malaysia can finally get a gold at the Olympics. I did a whole video on the countries that have never won an Olympic gold medal and Malaysia was perhaps the most surprising. I hope it can come soon, Malaysia deserves it!
Thanks for you support to me. Also shoutout to Mauritius by the way. They finally won their first medal at Paralympics with bronze at Paris 2024. It means Mauritius is become the country to win bronze at Olympic and Paralympics in history. It was unbelivable desevers to won medal. Respect!
@@aniqnazri3863 Huge congrats to Mauritius!
sailing is one of the most fisicial sports
Do you mean fiscal? Or financial? Not sure I'm following
This is a tough question in my opinion. I agree with most of your arguments. As someone who danced a lot, I am actually missing a dance sport at the Olympics. Ballroom dancing with formations of 8 pairs would fit the best for it imo, but let's come back to Breaking. I would say I know a lot about sport history and the different kinds of ideas/terms/concepts of "sport", people throughout time and countries have. My thought after watching documentaries about Breaking and watching it in Paris 2024, I think this an issue about the different ideas about "sport". There are sports with a specific philosophy and idea behind it, that is just different from the olympic idea(l) of what is meant by the word of "sport". Breaking is one of those. That doesn't make it less valid as a sport or anything else at all. It just fulfills a different idea of sport and that is fine. But that's why it doesn't fit into the Olympics perfectly. It's still compatibale enough to be there, but you are totally right if you say that other sports would fit to the olympic idea (which is a very european, historically english/british idea) of a good sport much better. Breakers themselves debate a lot about, if it's good or bad for their sport to be in the Olympics. A german TV commentator, who is a professional B-Girl herself said that they don't see the Olympics as a part of their movement. They don't see Breaking as a part of the olympic movement as well. They just see it as a great platform to promote this not very olympic-ish culture. This says a lot in my opinion. So Breaking is a nice sport and I am fine with it being at the Olympics, but I tend slightly to say that it would be better for Breaking and better for the Olympics if it is not part of it anymore.
Thanks for leaving your detailed thoughts, I enjoyed reading them. Even though Breaking has been ruled out for LA 2028, it's a worthwhile discussion to me because it's not just about Breaking; just like you say, it's just as much about what we consider a "sport", which applies to a bunch of different potential events. And it's not just important for any future event to be added to the games, but it also prompts debate on potentially removing events that are currently in the games. While this seems less important, given that the IOC folks have said there is an upper limit to events at the Olympics, anything new has to come at the expense of something coming out, so it all needs to be discussed. Thanks again for checking out the video and leaving your ideas!
1. Your argument with just 12 teams in Handball is invalid. Despite Men's Soccer, in every team sport at the Olympics you have a Maximum of 12 teams. Handball World Cups are held with 32 teams. But you're right that it's basicly Europe and three other countries in the second row, who are competitive. 2. It's a fun video, but I disagree with it's content. In my opinion, the only sports we can debate about excluding from the Olympics are (random order): 1. Boxing (beating your opponent is not sportsmanlike) 2. Breaking (obvious) 3. Weightlifting (it's so boring, has huge doping problems, too many Gold Medals (10), almost no tradition/culture behind it, and who would miss it?) 4. Golf (Top 1 of the list, rich people argument, very bad for environment and almost no movement, most important: it('s vibe) doesn't fit into the Olympics) 5. Cycling Track (too unpopular and too many Gold Medals (12)) 6. BMX Freestyle (For a sport that is meant to be spectacular, it's very unspectacular) 7. Shooting (arguments from video) 8. Sailing (arguments from video, though there is a big difference to motor sports) 9. Teakwondo (for the reasons why it's often debated to be excluded by the IOC) 10. Since Equestrian is removed from Modern Penthathlon (after Paris 2024) (which I am really sad about), it lost it's main part of it's historical olympic meaning, prestige, idea for me. Since it's not popular at all and now lost it's special olympic connection (imo), it can be excluded. 11. Trampolin (same as BMX Freestyle) 12. And maybe Fencing, but it's olympic tradition is huge. 😳 Didn't thought I would be okay with so many Sports being excluded.
I appreciate your thoughtful and detailed response, thanks for leaving it here in the comments. And I'm totally cool with disagreement on the content, I recognize it's a controversial list and many of the choices won't be popular. But I think it's great that you dropped a few of your own suggestions in there, and of course I'm glad to see a few from your list overlaps with mine! I appreciate you checking out the video and leaving your thoughts
I knew the thing with Macao 😁 Proud Olympics freak here 🤓 Am looking forward to that video 🤔
HAHA that's some serious knowledge you've got! The Macau/Faroe Islands video gets released tomorrow at 5:45pm ET, check it out when you get a chance!
Cant agree wird any of them
Not an issue, I'm happy to hear dissent and different ideas
#IDEA Great video. A video idea: Country broke most world or olympics record in the olympic or Paralympic events since the introduction of the digital clock.
Very interesting idea, thank you! I'm gonna look into it, that's a neat topic
Shoutout to our neighbors. Malaysia has won golds in the Paralympics, but in the Olympics, they are still on the hunt for their first gold. I do hope they get it in LA28. We (The Philippines) already got our taste of Olympic gold in Tokyo and Paris after almost 100 years.
Congrats to The Philippines after all that time! Here's hoping Malaysia can get theirs sometime soon
@@voxathletica We started in the second Paris Games in 1924, won our first gold three years ago, and we won two more this time. I even just met that guy who won two gold medals at a mall here.

Sri Lanka already has 2 Olympic silver medals in London 1948 and Sydney 2000.
Congrats to Sri Lanka on yesterday's medal!
Silver is the only color that matters to Sri Lanka. S for Sri Lanka
Video demand- Why does India performs so well in the Paralympics (this yr we are within top 10) but fails to clench a single gold this yr (our position was 72). A detailed video would br appreciated.
I could say the same with Israel. Took them until Athens 2004 to win their first gold, and would not win gold again until Tokyo.
Interesting idea for sure, I'll check it out, thanks for the suggestion!
India has some incredible athletes but for such a large country (population) you'd think there would be more in all the events. As far as I know india is strongest in weightlifting and some of the combat sports. Of course you do have Neeraj Chopra but it feels like he is an exception. There really should be a lot more like him in the other field events.
@@anubis520 Yes, thank you..but to be honest, the truth lies somewhere in between. We are really good in some sports like Wrestling, Javelin, Badminton ,Shooting, Field Hockey Archery, Cricket, as well as in our indigenous games but the thing is that we excel in them in our own arena, i.e. Asian Games, Cricket WC, Hockey WC, etc but when it comes to Olympics a vast majority of the sports are Euro Centric which is not even popular in India and not even played. And in some others like Boxing, Badminton where we are good, we are outplayed by our European and Central Asian counterparts. This is the main reason we lack here.
Football should be removed because there are World cup and so many World youth cup. Football olympics is just youth U23.
Totally agree, Olympic football is a shadow of other football events, they'd be better off bringing beach soccer or Futsal into the games instead
As Indonesian , I considered that Indonesia may ever winning the Olympics one but chances of winning is more thicker during the Paralympics
Does Indonesian have many Paralympians in Paris 2024 with a chance to win medals?
A comment for the algorithym
Both myself and the algorithm thank you
One of the best videos that I have ever seen in my life ,if not the best and I watch Olympics and enjoy their related trivia since 1984...3rd,2nd and 1st were spot on accurate 😄..and your commentry made it even better 😸❤🌷🙏
Wow, thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your support!
I think Iraq should have been included in this list , they have only a Bronze medal in weightlifting , however in Athens 2004 they came so close to win another Bronze in football ,but they ended 4th !! That was even more amazing achievement as they have been torn by wars for over two decades !! and it would have been the first for an Arab team in the Olympics in any sport ! Eventually Morocco won that very much coveted Bronze of football in Paris 2024 after defeating Egypt ...😶
Iraq definitely could have ended up on this list, as could a lot of other countries for sure! I am definitely going to do a part 2 to this video at some point in the future, perhaps I'll include Iraq then
Great video , I love the closing ceremony too though a bit forlon sometimes 😉😸..One of my absolute whole times favourites are : the 1984 Los Angeles and Lionel Richie singing 'All Night Long' and the Athens 2004 as it was one of my favourite Olympics in general with two of my favourite Arab athletes Hisham or Hicham elGarrouj (Marocco) & Rania Elwani (Egypt) appear with the IOC chairman of that time in his speech ❤🌷🙏
1984 was a great one! Like I said in the video, the closing ceremonies are really underappreciated in my opinion, though I think Paris 2024 got a lot of attention
Amazing video ,thanks for it 🌷🙏❤
Glad you liked it, thanks for checking it out!
Looks like I made a pretty dramatic error on this one with respect to the Ivory Coast/Côte D'Ivoire. My apologies to the viewers as well as to the talented Olympians of the Ivory Coast. Mea culpa.
Nepal got their first medal ever this year! 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
Congrats to Nepal!
The Ivory Coast/Côte D'Ivoire have won five medals at the Olympics, including one gold. They won their first one back in 1984 and the most recent in Paris 2024.
Yup, looks like I screwed this one up. Big time
