Have a look at the Soshi winter olympics. Specialy the speedskating matches... Also a very nice video to watch is: "Why Are The Netherlands a Speed Skating Dominant Force?" | Olympics on the Record
Best olympics for the Dutch ever. Remarkable is that normaly we score way more medals in swimming and judo, historical our best scoring sports. So proud of Team NL.
The gold medal in 3x3 basketball was insane! That finals match, man, France and NL were so close to each other. Worthy de Jong managed an equalizer in the final seconds of the match itself with an absolute hail mary shot, and then in overtime with just 2 seconds left on the shot clock he did another hail mary shot from the 2 point line. It was absolutely bonkers!
Bonkers but no nba players allowed...probably no players from the euroleague either. For me its a rather lame medal this way. I want to see the best of the best in each sport.
Agree with Marcel on that. Normal basketball there were nba players. During the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, a record-breaking **81 current and former NBA players** featured in the men's basketball tournament. This number surpasses previous Olympic records, highlighting the global presence and influence of NBA talent at the event .
3 years ago in Tokyo we had 36 medals with 10 gold and we were on 7th place. I am so proud that we continued this year. Best Olympics ever. We also had 14!!! 4th places but unfortunately they don't count. I am proud on Sifan Hassan who did an unhuman job to run 5km, 10km and marathon. 2 bronze medals and gold on the marathon. What an achievment. And Harrie Lavreysen who scored 3 gold medals. We call him hattrick Harrie hahaha. He is now with 5 gold and 1 silver the best athlete in summer olympics for the NL. But there were also dissapointing results because of bad luck. Puck Pieterse was on silver medal but had bad luck because of a flat tire. So we could have more medals but hey.. this is an amazing result.
@@SubbTedSifan Hassan came to our country as an Ethiopian refugee when she was 15 years old. She is 31 now, learned our language and we are proud to call her Dutch. She herself is proud on the Dutch anthem.
@@jasper46985 Yeah, on the list i saw 1. Australia 2. Netherlands 3. New Zealand. Kinda funny, considering the history the three countries share as well.
@@jasper46985 Usually, the focus is on the gold medals, as they are considered the ultimate achievement. When you calculate the number of gold medals per capita, the Netherlands ranks first with 15 golds for 17.8 million people. Australia has 18 golds for a population of 26.01 million. But in the end, it doesn't matter-every country has delivered outstanding performances.
Actually all 3 cycling track gold medals are won by only one men called Harrie Lavreysen. He won the: sprint, teamsprint and keirin those are also all the parts he participated in. And now the gold medal for the women's marathon can also be added because it was awarded during the ending.
Love love love how the Netherlands did this year! Love from 🇫🇷 @8:00 I can tell you where is Luxembourg 🇱🇺 ! Partying like crazy at Invalides Paris I can tell. They are so coooool.
We did awesome! Very proud of our Orange Olympians. We could have done better in Judo and I expected a couple more medals in cycling, equestrian, handball and waterpolo, but the athletes made us proud. In swimming we had silver taken away, because they decided to rerun the race and our Olympian wasn't able to give the same performance on second try. I felt a bit robbed.
Actually it is amazing how broad the range of sports where Netherlands scored is this time. In winter olympics we basically score only in speed skating, medals in other sports are very rare.
What Sifan Hassan pulled off is insane. Bronze on both the 5 km and 10 km runs. And less then 36 hours after the 10k she races to gold on the marathon. 😀
We did pretty good but also a shout out to Oz. Though it is a big country, it has a small population. Relatively we did about the same. Of course, Saint Lucia blew everyone out of the water with a population of 180K and still a gold and silver medal.But the single most important thing is we beat the Germans again! 😆
@@Vincrand only if we want it to be... try explaining..haha...all over the world they know Holland more then when you say I am from The Netherlands... sorry
@@VincrandTue it is not a country but even at the Olympics, they call us that in their comments (Holland). Also in my traveling for years to all countries of the World, not many know The Netherlands, if I say The Netherlands, I get question marks or they reply...ohhh you mean Holland. Holland or The Netherlands.. Same thing, same country (just 20-150 km difference/distance (like States in the US, but a bit smaller) This is why we use both names...( in case you did not notice.. I am Dutch 🙂)
@@BarryHermans In English speaking countries Holland is used more often indeed, but it mainly (not only) depends on the language family someone uses as primary language. Calling the Netherlands Holland is like calling the UK England. Most of the states in the US are indeed big, but the difference in between them is rather small for as far as I noticed and I've been to over half of them (most of the coastal and and southern inland ones and some others). A lot of them seem to barely know their regional history except for which side they were on during the civil war. So using their ignorance as a reason to not use the correct term for something sounds like a lazy argument to me.
We always do well. Also, during the winter Olympics. We're not tiny at all. Only in landmass and in population. It is because of our wealth. Still, we missed quite a lot, unfortunately. Many 4th places. No judo medallions, very little swimming medallions. We were great in both in the past.
For anyone wondering: The reason they are counting gold medals and not total medals is because the larger countries can field more participants, so they have more chances to get medals. So in order to make it more fair, they decided to only count total gold.
There actually isn’t an official way of counting the medals. Most of the world just accepted counting golds first, but not everyone does that. USA tends to count total medals, and while they get a lot of shit for it, it’s technically valid for them to do that
@@Fons.s Gold ALWAYS goes above 2nd best (or best of the rest). In every medal count it's the same. How would you weigh a Gold medal against a Silver or/and a Bronze medal? Their are about 20 times more Americans than there are Dutch, purely mathematical i means they have 20 times more chances to win Gold. They got stuck with only 2.5 times more Gold and only 4 times more medals.
great video, maybe fun to watch, 2014 winter olymics, if i am remember correctly, the neterlands got 3 clean sweeps. ( all three medals for one event )
Thank you for the compliments. I think its a culture and money-invest thing, we just really like sports. Also, cycling is a good sport for us (3 gold medals if iam correct). Who would have guessed that! 😅 I hear the term 'landhockey', its called 'Field hockey'. Its just a really popular sport.
I unapologetically feel a lot of national pride for this, because it is truly a national achievement. Much more than the indivdual supertalents of Femke Bol and Sifan Hassan where I have nothing to do with at all, the solid wide base of athletes is the product of the nation: The huge number of private not for profit clubs and institutions and all their volunteers, the access to a diversity of sports for most kids through it, all the kids being able to cycle to training after dinner and go the regional tournaments by train. On top of that there is Papendal, a kind of sport monastry in the woods where athletes retreat to be among only other serious devote athletes. there is just a lot of work and organization to let far less talent go to waste than other Western European countries. We as a country do that better, so we can justifiably take pride in that.
To bring this in perspective, USA 40 gold medals, Netherlands 15 gold medals. But, the population of the USA is about 333 millions, while the Netherlands has 18 million people, that means, the USA has 18,5 times more inhabitants. 18,5 times x 15 gold medals, that would be 277 gold medals for the USA. If you look at it that way, yes, the Netherlands did a great job!
Comparing medals of the past to today you need to count the amount of potential medals. In the old days there were far less types of Olympic sorts. As a Dutch rower and instructor for youth I'm in a way sorry to see that the rowing is Concept II bad technique win. We Dutch have organized a structured way of learning of this mostly student sport. The technique when not learned from 12 years old onward because only then can you start rowing then the subtle balance technique is harder still to learn student rowers incorrectly guess to become semi top rowers at 18 years of age in one year towards top rowers later on. The gym technique on a Concept II means that the catch and exit aren't learned to be executed correctly. We won gold in a field in which all countries catch too deep and pull towards the belly button. In sted of catching just bellow the waterline and pullingbin a straight line above the belly botton. Rowing is also a technicle sport besides strength and endurence. I predict that any country that teaches even from 18 years (preferably earlier of course) and traing strength an endurence in balance will beat the sox off of any competion that doesn't. The only exception might be Pimonov technique which is extremly bad for the back and should thus be baned if anyone wanting to compete that way. 11:18
Happy or upset as a dutch? To be honest, upset. But not for the result, i had extreme long workdays, 180 hours in two weeks. Only now i am catching up with olympics. True, every olympic the Netherlands rank high for such a small country. Ahead of Germany and Great Britain, massive!
Shout out to Australia and New Zealand! Looking at medals per citizens you could rank those countries above us (excluding islands and city states) It shows how sports is part of the culture in those countries
The Netherlands started really bad. In first 4 days we had nothing. And became 4th a few times. After day 5 we started and ende d really great. My hero. HARRIE. 3 times gold
@@DACHBeneluxAmericans and Canadians wrongly call it field hockey because when they say hockey they mean ice hockey. We don’t say field hockey, but just hockey and when you play hockey on ice, we call it ice hockey, just like their own world organization IIHF, International Ice Hockey Federation.
As a former basketball player, I can say that being great in the sports has nothing to do with height. Of course it does help, but I know a few basketball players who are way below average height (below 1.70m even). It has more to do with technique, skills, and jump force.
tradtional young people were teach this dicciplins in the Netherlands.... it is all about living and management of circumstances with water. running is an other way, also that innprovement made, but possible because of foreign influence.
We never had more then 1 gold medal from rowing in a single olympic. Hockey is one of the biggest sport in hour country. We have the biggest hockey stadium of the world in Amstelveen "het wagenaar stadion". The 3x3 basketball was a surprise medal we arent big county in basketbal even it was brons it should be an big surprise.
If you look at the 'per capita' ratio the US should have gotten about 300 gold medals had they been as good as the Netherlands, but the got only 40. So for such a small country they did extremely well.
Sure but there is no nfl and baseball in the olympics. Also the dutch won a lot of medals in a couple of sports. 3x3 basketball should not even be a sport...
@@danielabatabogdanov8586 I agree with that, but even with American football and baseball which I don't consider real worldwide sports either, it would only add 2 medals to the US total at best. And China, with a population of 1.4 billion, did even worse. But from now on they will probably become the world leader at the Olympics.
Australia 26 million. Almost the same, but much bigger in size. Not only this time, but multiple times and it seems consistent. It shows that organization and attitude is a decisive factor. This also explains why the dutch football sucks. Lame attitude: they play half the speed the competiton does. Otherwise they would have been world champion several times. Sadly the women reflect to the mens football, instead of the womens hockey for whom I am honestly spoken afraid. So aggressive. The dutch women hockeyplayers are similiar in attitude like the us women football team. Win or die fighting for it. That is the attitude.
I would say Rowing and Hockey are the two sports where some Gold is kind of "expected". Perhaps the same can be said for Cycling on track. I think most of us expected more with Athletics (especially the running events). I don't think we had this few swimming medals in at least 2 decades. 3x3 Basketball was a total surprise to me. We once were a great Volleybal nation....once upon a time. Equestrian was a disapointment. We used to be top of the world. Even though it is a great haul, it could have been. I don't want to sound cocky but it should have been at least 4 more Gold if everyone performed as expected. That said, it all is about the form of the day, not mad at any of the Athletes, they did awesome. As for Belgium, I know many many people who, when the Netherlands doesn't compete but someone from Belgium does, we will root for the Belg. They are our little siblings after all
Field hockey, the dutch are top country in the world in team competition for decades. Its like premier league or spanish competition.. swimming should have been betrer. So as with cycling... basketball was on merit of players. We are not normally winning that. Best results; athletics: 4xmixed relay, 4x ladies relay and our goat: sifan Hassan winning marathon and two bronze (5000 and 10000). Cycling hattrick Harry did it in indoor cycling, 3x gold.. cycling on road, the men shoulld have done better.. but 6th overall is 2nd best to 1972 Olympische (4th) ever. So i am proud!
2nd best is not true. 6th in the medal list is the best result ever this year. In 1972 we were 16th. So the best results were: 2024 on 6th, 2021 on 7th and 2000 and 1928 on 8th place in the medal standings.
This year must be the worst for us for swimming... should have been more.. everything with water and hight..,like volleyball, we are normally better... not this year Hockey is normal.. always top 3 and competing UK, Spain, Ausie.. China was for me a surprise..might need to add them too....EK WK and Olympics always medals in Hockey

I would say Rowing and Hockey are the two sports where some Gold is kind of "expected". Perhaps the same can be said for Cycling on track. I think most of us expected more with Athletics (especially the running events). I don't think we had this few swimming medals in at least 2 decades. 3x3 Basketball was a total surprise to me. We once were a great Volleybal nation....once upon a time. Equestrian was a disapointment. We used to be top of the world. Even though it is a great haul, it could have been. I don't want to sound cocky but it should have been at least 4 more Gold if everyone performed as expected. That said, it all is about the form of the day, not mad at any of the Athletes, they did awesome.
As for Belgium, I know many many people who, when the Netherlands doesn't compete but someone from Belgium does, we will root for the Belg. They are our little siblings after all
Sailing (Bouwmeester) and marathon swimming (Van Rouwendaal) were no big surprises either.
Van Opzeeland could have won gold but was unlucky.
We did great sure, but wouldve been less if Russia would not be banned.
Russian athletes did or could participate under Olympic flag, only not their own war flag.
Why is there no ice-scating ?
No medal for the Netherlands?
That would be in the winter Olympics, not the summer one...
Very hard to skate without ice. Or you have to call it underwater running on skates???😂
I hope you are not serious? 😂😂
I was thinking about indoor skating, which in The Netherlands is possible during the summer in some cities ?
@@jsb7975 It's just not part of summer Olympics, there's already plenty of sports.
Field hockey, the dutch are top country in the world in team competition for decades. Its like premier league or spanish competition.. swimming should have been betrer. So as with cycling... basketball was on merit of players. We are not normally winning that. Best results; athletics: 4xmixed relay, 4x ladies relay and our goat: sifan Hassan winning marathon and two bronze (5000 and 10000). Cycling hattrick Harry did it in indoor cycling, 3x gold.. cycling on road, the men shoulld have done better.. but 6th overall is 2nd best to 1972 Olympische (4th) ever. So i am proud!
2nd best is not true. 6th in the medal list is the best result ever this year. In 1972 we were 16th. So the best results were: 2024 on 6th, 2021 on 7th and 2000 and 1928 on 8th place in the medal standings.
Great Olympics but Dutch Judo disapointed BIG
Indeed, to much fighting there in the WRONG place!
it's not the real hockey, the real hockey are ice hockey
All the countrys are bigger tjam the Netherlands, why are the biggest sportland around the world, sommer our Wintergames, whe are great
This year must be the worst for us for swimming... should have been more.. everything with water and hight..,like volleyball, we are normally better... not this year
Hockey is normal.. always top 3 and competing UK, Spain, Ausie.. China was for me a surprise..might need to add them too....EK WK and Olympics always medals in Hockey
austria is rank 36, 2 gold 3 bronze
Oh, I didn't see that
As a water country the Dutch will always rule water sports
Can I ask you why you love my country so much? 😊
