Oscar Albeiro Figueroa Mosquera is a Colombian weightlifter who competes in the 62 kg class. At the 2004 Olympic Games, he finished fifth in the 56 kg class with a total of 280 kg. In 2008 in Beijing, he struggled with a serious injury that prevented him from achieving a result. After a successful operation, he returned in 2012, set an Olympic record of 177 kg in the clean and jerk and won silver. He finally won gold in Rio in 2016 with a total of 318 kg and then retired from the sport by symbolically taking off his shoes and placing them on the platform. 🏅👟

How is your comment from 2 weeks ago 😂
He truly deserves it. It took 3 surgeries to his back, and the toll on his body will accumulate, but that’s the real sacrifice of a Olympic champion
it is also very dumb and sad to sacrifice your health and life for the roman circus. It has absolutely no value
@@raskolnjikov1you're sacrificing your life too... But for nothing...
@@jonhdoe4831everything is nothing
@@raskolnjikov1what mediocre tought
Working 9-5 is sacrificing your life also@@raskolnjikov1
For anyone wondering what happened to Oscar at the Beijing Olympics, he was suffering from a (yet undiscovered) "herniated disc between two vertebrae in his neck that compressed the nerves responsible for mobility and sensitivity in his arms". He had to undergo surgery to fix it before the London Olympics and again 6 months before the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. Dude is the definition of grit.
Thank you for this.
All that for what… for a piece of medal..
@@josephb8499 tell me you're a massive lose without telling me you're a massive loser
The medal is only a part it, the journey completes it.
@josephb8499 recognition...recognition is the word.

From sad tears to happy tears, this is a true lesson about resilience
HE DESTROYED HIS BODY
He has a lifetime to recover @@radscorpion8
@@radscorpion8nah your just jealous of his success
The most emotional performance of all times to me!!!
For me its between this one and the one about the guy who had lost his wife a year prior to the olympics in a car accident. Both of them had different things motivating them, but both won Gold at the end. The human will is special
@@giovannygarica275Matthias Steiner
the lifts at beijing really brought tears into the eyes!
Yeah bro😢
Same 😢😢😢😢
he had a herniated disk that was undiagnosed then
What happened? Did he have a wrist injury?
whatever success he attained, it never hurt more than it did in Beijing. To be so hungry and expereince such heartbreak, it stands to reason that moment in China would be the fule for a lifetime.
Oscar if you are watching this just want to let you know that you are fighter. And you are inspiration for many of us. I am preparing for an exam and and I came to this video you inspired me to work lot more harder. Sending love from India.
I also from india and preparing for exams same as you getting motivated 🔥
Exam already aced
If grit, determination and perseverance were a human body, it would be this guy! Legend!
Grit, determination and perseverance ARE in this one
he trained every day to get that golden medal, one of the South America pride, well done Oscar
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better. And in the end you'll be a champion... And yes, you proved it...This video literally made me cry...❤
i cried, so happy for his success
If grit, determination and perseverance were in a human body, it would be this guy! Legend!
This video should be shown in every school. It's a prime example of focus and hustle when it comes to chasing your dreams. It's not a walk in the park, but anything's possible if you put your mind to it. 12 years! What a champ!
This is what the Olympics/sports/life/achievement is about. It’s not one straight line - its a journey of constant pain/hustle / grit/hard work/ and determination
This is the best example of total dedication, commitment, passion and sacrifice to the sport bravo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks
Go Colombia!!! Very proud. Never Gave Up!!! Heart of a warrior.

Ah yes, all the records Gandhi broke!!
@@draincatYT😂 Gandhi chose non-violence ..
@@raguram2992 what does violence have to do with PRs my brotha?!
Yeah yeah bonel
When the going gets tough, the tough get going. As a colombiana myself, I´m so proud of Óscar
He is really deserved that medal but also thanks to those who stood up with him and gave him such golden chance🧡
Bro this truly teared me up. When get up from your failure and train hard with singular vision to finally achieve the long due success - that’s the triumphant nature of humanity. This is more than just a gold medal in the Olympics.
Weight lifting is probably the only thing that is closest to world peace. Everyone is competing with themselves to be truly the best version of themselves. Everyone cheering for you no matter what race. North Korea winning gold that one time is also unforgettable, but this Colombian winning gold after 12 years is truly a remarkable testimony that we never want to give up..
Tor would be proud of that lift.
To see someone reach the peak of their sport and to claim the victory of everyone else is a beautiful sight, especially when it has been a difficult path.
He earned that.
Olympic Champions are amazing.
Respect to his coach too for supporting him🥹❤️
Beauty of the Olympics. They have the same story of our first historic Olympic Gold Medalist in the Philippines, Hidilyn Diaz. Both are true blooded Warrior and Champion! 🇵🇭🇨🇴
This is what olympics are about, no politics, no shanigans, just heart, hard work and faith !
Olympics can be about politics lol these athletes have earned that platform. It’s their freedom to choose. just read the history of the Olympics 😂
@@lemondrop7305 I don't talk about the athletes, and you know what I mean, don't be a pain
to be the best in the world
Tell me why imane khelif was harassed then.
If you think they have nothing to do with politics, you have no idea what the Olympics are. The Olympics ARE politics and they are thanks to politics
This is what the Olympics are all about. Resilience, perseverance and determination. The human spirit of never giving up. Way to go Oscar!!!
The definition of try and try until you succeed
From tears of pain to tears of joy! An emotional and inspirational athlete. His journey is similar to Filipina weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz who won silver in Rio and gold in Tokyo. 🤩🇨🇴🇵🇭
Literally got tears in my eyes after watching this what an incredible journey 🥺
They know EXACTLY when to bring in the piano to capture to emotion in it’s entirety. I’m not getting teary eyed, YOU are. Honestly, sport has the ability to bring out the best in humanity. Add in beautiful music and it’s magical. Also, his last view walking off that stage seeing the Olympic rings. Goosebumps…that memory will never leave him.
Huge Respect from INDIA
Your jernoury is very emotional..

Nah bro I am ashamed pls never comment again
@@DragonSTORM-zb1pejudging is easy dude
Thanks Indian brother ❤
Now he will live 10 year longer than his fixed life with this great victory ✌️
Haha, really? How so?
@@tommyls4357 The memory of him will live longer than his death. His determination is immortalized.
@@MrQuestiel gotcha
I'm an Ecuadorian and I remember this moment as it was just yesterday, all my family was rooting for Oscar, Colombia is our country neighbor and we as fellow latin americans, we suffer the losses and celebrate our victories as one, because only we know the struggle that is to achieve the spotlight in the podium at the Olympics, not to say, to win a gold medal in our conditions is going beyond the impossible with our governments and "sport" committees lacking any attention and support to our athletes.
The power of discipline, dedication, and refusal to quit. A warrior in the flesh. ❤️
As a Colombian, I'm super proud of this guy. Tough as nails, fought his way through poverty and violence, like many of us do. Getting to where he got, starting from where he started, is truly a feat of the human spirit. Eres un grande!
What a beautiful journey. I cried watching this. This is truly amazing to watch. No1 deserves the gold medal like he does. Proud of Colombia. Lots of love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
I can say this is.. one of the most inspiring videos ever I watch on Olympics 🙏🥇
Shook me from inside ❣️❣️
NOTHING CAN DEFEAT A PERSON WITH STRONG WILL. YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION OSCAR!!!
Aún recuerdo cuando esto fue noticia nacional en nuestro país. Grande Oscar, es un orgullo colombiano y todo un país pudo ver ese esfuerzo que tanto le puso y como alcanzó la gloria. Hoy es un ejemplo de superación no solo para nosotros sino también para el mundo 🟨🟦🟥
A true champion.
Holy cow! This is awesome, you could not only see how determined he was on the Gold but he looked better than ever in that event, his Physique is insane for a clean athlete that also had such heavy spinal surgeries!
And After undergone 6major surgeries!!what a legend 🎉❤
I NEEDED THIS
DON’T EVER GIVE UP ON YOURSELF AND YOUR DREAMS
👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑

Oscar ha llevado el nombre de Colombia a lo más alto, mostrándonos que con disciplina, dedicación y perseverancia, no hay meta inalcanzable. Eres un ejemplo de superación y un orgullo para todos nosotros. Gracias por inspirarnos a soñar en grande y a nunca rendirnos.
Gran ejemplo porque con su perseverancia, convicción y dedicación durante años, él y el equipo multidisciplinario, alcanzó el tan anhelado éxito, para el, su familia y su país, que viva Colombia. Bendiciones 🙏

Gran ejemplo de Resiliencia. Siempre histórico Oscar Figueroa
That really brought me tears 😢 Respect the legend 🙏
Winning Takes A Long Practice and Patience. Congratulations Brother. Lesson. Never give up no matter how long it takes to achieve a dream
What I know about weightlifting could be written on the back of a postage stamp but this was a great video! What a wonderful athlete! The toll on the body and mind from that kind of continual punishment must be overwhelming, yet he persisted until he reached his goal.
Let's not forget the team around him, his family and friends either. They will also have shared his journey and some of that pain, as well as the joy of success that eventually came. Well done Mr Fosquera! You conquered not only the sport, but yourself as well. A true athlete.👏
What better motivation than this truly emotional and inspirational sports power
Bro I cried at this. What a champion.
This is inspirational journey... Be consistent to your goal and oneday you will achieve it with your hardwork
Este hombre es la muestra de lo que somos los colombianos no nos damos por vencidos jamás!.
Oscar para mi es la muerta de todo. en cualquier deporte
Bro makes me tear
we are same
So proud of my fellow Colombian. I always get teary eyed when I see his video ❤
Never give up💪
Estuve allí para vivirlo junto con el y el resto de compatriotas que sudamos, apretamos he hicimos fuerza junto por el... Que orgullo haber podido verlo y gritar ese himno nacional que nos lleno tanto de orgullo y lágrimas ❤❤❤❤
Absolutely deserved it.... truely anyone can achieve whatever he/she wants if he sets his mind to it...👏👏
"Thank You, Lord!"- is read on his lips as he opens his arms to the sky. This video has more emotion than most films out there.
Wt a person, wt a athlete ❤❤❤❤, his story says everything, what a dedication, He is a hero 👍
Grande Oscar, mis respetos por tanta dedicación 💪🏼

Ese día lloré de felicidad con mi amado compatriota Oscar Figueroa ❤
Congrats from the USA!!
Editors done great job making this video for inspirational
Mis respetos por tanta dedicacion, Saludos desde Sri Lanka 👍, Grande Oscar , hero de verdad en realmente,
This story reminded me of the story of Hidilyn Diaz of the Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 .
It also took 4 Olympics for her to get the gold ( none in the first and second try ( 2008 & 2012 ) silver in the third Olympic stint ( 2016 ) and gold in the fourth appearance ( 2020 ) , exactly the same journey as him.
They should make a movie about this guy. Just for his determination and true grit.
Just 62kgs but his muscle mass is insane 🤯.. really he is a GOAT
Grande mi negro. Hermoso todo. Su resiliencia tuvo recompensa
How many no.of times i watch this video, that many no.of times i get tears in my eyes
This inspirational video brought me to tears. No matter how much time you fail, you don’t give up. In the end, you will win! Congrats to Oscar 👏🏽🎊🎉
Love from India 🇮🇳 my motivation you bro ❤ and next lavel hard work and struggle bro❤
Too many times our youth see the fruits of hard work and years of perseverance on social media. They discount how much effort and work it takes. They just want what comes after all the work, not the work.
Well done Oscar Figueroa! 😎👌
You can see his life story in his face and in his raw emotion. We push on. We try harder. We win harder.
This dude brought tears to my eyes. What a locomotive to keep going like that. Congratulations. 👏🏽
My feelings are like as if I achieved Olympic Gold Medal. 🥇. Congrats Champ 🥇💐💐
No importa cuantas veces fracases dios siempre te dara fuerzas y la victoria arriba hermano colombiano desde Venezuela te bendicimos
Success doesn't get in one day but One day Absolutely
