This has to be my favorite Olympic moment ever. Nobody, not even the person winning, has a clue as to what has just happened. This is why we watch sports!
Love it too.but from all Olympic moments there are some better like "Matthias Steiner", and not only because i m german..there are so much..and Ledecka s winning moment is hard to top,true..greetings
When the commentator says ''she is about to write a new page in Olympic history'' he doesn't realize that those words will transcend into a totally another dimenson after her run. Kudos Ester!
This came as a complete surprise to everyone in the sport; and obviously no one was more surprised than Ms. Ledecka herself. And she then went on to win gold in snowboarding, as expected -- making her the first Olympian to win gold in two different sports at the same Games
I like how they’re really giving her the credit for being a 2 sport Olympian even though she wasn’t expected to win the race at first. And their reaction to her gold medal time is amazing.
The commentators were absolutely brilliant.. you don't see that sort of emotion in the press box very often. And that isn't even the main point of the video, I just wish more were like this
Honestly how cool was this? Race of her life, so humble that she first thought it was more likely a timing error than an actual gold medal. As far as winter Olympics in my life, this is right up close to Dan Jansen finally winning gold. So awesome
So cool she's still dedicated to both sports. She won all 3 snowboard parallel slalom races she entered the past season, then won the World Cup final Super G at Saalbach, Austria.

I watched this broadcast live on CBC when it happened. They said something to the effect of "The Americans (NBC) have cut their broadcast to somethings else by this point, they aren't even showing this." The skiers skied in order of their world ranking, so I guess they figured no one was catching up to the top competitors and started covering another sport (at least on the main channel). Just to give you an idea of the magnitude of this upset. And then Ledecka would win gold in her snowboarding event (parallel giant slalom) a few days later!
That is correct: NBC cut to another sport. To their credit, they did go back and show this run just after the fact. In a way it was perhaps more dramatic as they had to explain why they were going back to skiing and that this was really a great snowboarder that just shocked the skiing world. Either way it was way cool.
Even though I'm in the USA I hardly ever watch the NBC broadcast. I prefer to watch the live streaming feeds which means that I was watching the coverage this clip was from and saw Ester's run live. The tough thing for me is time shifting my day for two weeks so I'm awake when the events are occurring.
The Swedish broadcasters did the same thing. They declered Veith the winner and ended the broadcast on their main channel one racer before Ledecka started.
Ester Ledecka skied 26th which meant the course was already broken up by the previous 25 skiers and far more difficult to ski. No one, and I mean no one, has any chance of winning that far down the draw...and on borrowed skis..... no chance ! She had previously never been anywhere near a podium during the skiing world cup season. And yet...!!! Her "mistakes" were her response to skiing at the limits of human ability under those circumstances. During those 1minute 21.11 seconds she was well and truly "in the zone".. a special place that transcends conscious thought and lets the body do what it must do to win. Her winner's mind was already there, as the top snowboarder, and it was harnessed for this incredible athletic feat under the most difficult circumstances.... so I can understand her thought of "what have I done???"
@@zonedutopia She had a couple of big skids and that's going to bleed speed and also lengthen the course for her by a hair. As far as the original post goes, race temperature was 16 degrees F so I'm sure it held up fine. And the reason she won (this is from Bode Miller, not me) is she took a more aggressive line to begin and shortened the course (even with the mistakes) on everyone. She's proven since then that she's a legit downhiller and this is her pace. And even before this she never considered herself just a snowboarder that ski's. She considered herself a dual sport athlete.
It’s just so tear jerking when you see someone so focused. This is what these people do as their purpose in life. Their gift. To see a human do some crazy stuff is just so amazing for the human race. The things we can do, it’s like building a skyscraper or a going to the moon. We are such incredible things.
Even though i am Austrian and i was watching live on TV, when i recognised Ester had the chance to win i rooted for her. Because this is a moment which probably happens 1 time in 100 years.
That's a myth guys. She had second hand skis that were returned to the manufacturer presumably by Shiffrin - which is pretty normal practice that the lesser known skiers pick among those returned skis - but Ester made the skis her own for some time and fine tuned them. It was not a last minute ski exchange:-) What is true though is that Ester's boot was broken for the race but they decided to risk it because she was used to it. It could have completely broke any moment.
She actually joined to fill the numbers for the ski team. She is a snowboarder Gold Medalist. She was not expecting to even qualify but instead got Gold. Love this.
Great story. It’d been a long time since Czech alpine skier (male or female) had been on the Olympic podium, and this was great for the Czech Republic as a whole 🇨🇿
I remember watching on NBC and Dan Hicks said something like, “Well, all of Austria, not to mention all of the world, all of the media, INCLUDING US, were assuming Anna Veith would be the winner.” NBC was airing figure skating at the time, and as they’re going to commercial break, Terry Gannon, the figure skating commentator, says “We hear there’s a surprise at the women’s Super G.” When NBC comes back from break, they show the super g course, and Dan Hicks says, “Well, these are the Olympics, and anything can happen, and it just happened in the women’s super g.” To quote another of Dan Hicks’ famous quotes, “Just when you think you’ve seen it all!”
The thing that was funny about this was that it wasn't even a fluke. It wasn't like she beat them because they all did poorly, she was apparently so inexperienced that she attempted turns no veteran would even try due to the likelihood of failure and nailed them, earning a lot of time. Ironically, Ledecka is now ranked higher in skiing than she is in snowboarding, despite having been a better snowboarder for most of her career (including here).
@@yahopostinguy429 Being overly aggressive is a sign of inexperience in certain fields, this being one of them. No one else attempted the line she took because there was a high likelihood of them wiping out. She simply didn't and therefore won. It's a fun story either way.
@@yahopostinguy429 excellent analysis. She is also more raw than others, I would add. With more strength, the natural confidence level is higher - she could balance her mistakes with raw body strength due to her hard training routines. Majority fans think it's all in legs (just like in hockey, for example). The overall body strength is the deciding factor in athletic disciplines. Every muscle must be trained and exercised because in the end, they all work like one perfect machine. And there are many, even great - athletes who do not like the weight room. Ledecka is supremely conditioned in comparison to other competitors because she puts time and effort into the entire body conditioning. There are some exceptions to the rule in history of athletic sports but if you want to really be the best, talent is only a fraction of the success. Hard work is the key
she was pretty cool with it, since Anna Veith just had recovered from a major injury and it felt like winning for her (additionally she already was olympic champion four years before). One can't be mad about Ledecka winning this gold medal :D
Czech commentators actually were like "Oh a great mistake from Ledecka, another mistake there" but when they saw the timer, they almost went nuts and cheered her up! 😂
STUNNED! While she hit some turns like it was Freestyle, look at how little snow is being sprayed out from her Atomics - meaning perfect arc carving, which is much much faster than skidding around the turns.
Bro I saw this live and to this day it’s one of my favorite reactions to a win EVER, she was insane! Lol love the uhhhh wut 😱 look on her face at the end 😆
Ester Ledecka of Czech and Petra Majdič of Slovenia are the two most inspiring athletes, male of female, summer or winter, of all time! Just amazing women. Petra won a bronze medal in the 2010 Lake Placid winter Olympics after competing in four 1.4km skiing sprints. So what you ask?...well.... she skied all the races with 5 broken ribs and a collapsed lung.
"She earned the highest praise from other skiers, staff and the media for her amazing bravery as she attended the medal giving ceremony with a tube in her chest" - holy expletive.
And I don´t undestand that Laureus World Sports Award for Sportswoman of the Year was Serena Wiliams (even if she could be equal she had to win olympic games in tennis and ping - pong)...
I suspect the Czech brothers will stone me for this, but I still feel incredibly sorry for Anna Veith. She went through miserably hard times before those Olympic games, like injury and stuff, and then lost by the smallest possible of margins.... Don´t get me wrong, I really do deeply respect Ledecka for her talent and achievment, but if I could turn back time, I would absolutely let Anna Veith win this one particlar race.
That's not what it's about. After what she went true, second place is huge. But, many men and women Went through a lot, doesn't mean they should deserve it more.
You definitely have to feel for Anna a bit here, but I think she herself recognized that even a silver medal was an amazing achievement after all the injuries she had to fight back from. She seems to be doing great, just had her second child a month or so ago.
Truly amazing athlete; not only did she recover from 2 errors to beat the favourites but she did so on skis BORROWED from Mikaela Shiffrin! You couldn't make it up, just brilliant! The commentary was also pure gold too, especially when they realised she was ahead.
This has to be my favorite Olympic moment ever. Nobody, not even the person winning, has a clue as to what has just happened. This is why we watch sports!
Absolutely correct, one of my favorite moments of the Olympics and I am rooting for her again in the 2022 Olympics! Go Esther!
TRUE!!!!

The call is absolutely brilliant.
"What's another recovery from the youngster?" Full of love and no cynicism. Beautiful.
@@robinf3817 This is pure sport. "She is taking gold". Its like magic.
Great reporters for this surprise!
The best moment is when she finishes the race and has no clue what happened :D
The clue rushes in, where her belief can not go.
I laughed so hard at this especially since I watched it live. Everyone was confused, not just her 🤣
you think athletes can discern winning by 1/10 of a second?
you're saying "it's funny bc racers are timed to one-hundredth of a sec"
This came as a complete surprise to everyone in the sport; and obviously no one was more surprised than Ms. Ledecka herself.
And she then went on to win gold in snowboarding, as expected -- making her the first Olympian to win gold in two different sports at the same Games
Maybe winter games but Carl Schuhmann of Germany won 3 gold metals in gymnastics and a gold in wrestling in the 1896 Athens Olympics.
Anna Veith: "I'm going for the gold."
Ledecka: "Hold my snowboard."
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh goodie. another "hold my..." joke. how original.
