@@jamesmay7392 No Federer was a nobody till about 2001-2003. He was deffo a small time guy in 2000 where Sydney was. He was mostly famous for being the male partner in Mixed doubles with Hingis at that time.
@@jettlaxholly Listen, some athletes from whom people, especially their coaches, have high expectations tend to quit after achieving less than modest results. But other tell themselves "I WILL do better in the next Olympics!" and take their "failure" as a learning lesson. That's what happened to these athletes who are now well-known. That's the meaning of my post.
@@pantherablaxxx9930 I know EXACTLY what you meant!! Whenever I (and many others) fail at something when they expected to do well, the "maybe I should give up" thoughts start creeping in. These champions obviously didn't do that and that's the difference between them and "average" competitors.
sylvia well to be an Olympic legend you need to be consistently at the top of the Olympics, which Federer was not, while I agree he was a tennis legend, he was not exactly a Olympic legend
Rumyana Neykova - Bulgarian rower won her gold medal in her 5th Olympics in Beijing, after winning silver in Sidney and bronze in Athens (35 years). Valentin Yordanov - the wrestler of the 20th century - was 36 years when he won in Atlanta. Pretty amazing.
He was well known. All of you tennis fans just think that they had a junior career before being pros, and Federer won Wimbledon junior and was number 1 in itf junior ranking. Because of this a lot of people knew about him and his potential (not the Goat, but a grat tennis player).
@@carlosguerreroalvarez4624 Most people couldn't name the #1 juniors player now. Federer was hardly a household name back in 2000. That Olympics performance and the following couple of years, is what lead to the beginning of his relevance in the sports world.
I should add Jan Zelesny of Czech Republic, WR holder in men's Javelin throw. His debut was at 1988 Olympic in which he won silver. He actually had very good chance to win the gold, as he was leading with 83.46m ahead of two Finnish athlete : Seppo Raty and Tapio Korjus. But at the last throw, Korjus did 84.28m, while Zelesny had 84.12m, preventing the legend to win his 1st gold. In the next 3 Olympics, he was unbeaten. This channel should do a video on this legend of Javelin.
I would add : 1. Peter Van den Hoogenband of Netherland - 100m and 200m freestyle at 1996. He finished 4th in both races. Four years later he beat Alexander The Great Popov to win the gold in 100m free. He also won 200m free, beating home favorite Ian Thorpe. 2. Inge de Bruijn of Netherland - 100m and 4x100m freestyle at 1992. She finished 8th in both races. In Sydney 2000, he won 3 golds : 50m free, 100m free and 100m butterly, with WR in all these races. 3. Tom Malchow of USA - 200m butterfly at 1996. He won silver at that race behind Dennis Pankratov. Four years later he won gold in the race when Michael Phelps did his debut. Pankratov actually did very well, but ran out of gas in the last 50m, that he even was caught by teenager Phelps. 4. Mark Tewksbury of Canada - 100m backstroke at 1988. He was there in the race when Daichi Suzuki of Japan made a big upset, beating the favorite David Berkoff (WR holder). Four years later, he won gold beating the favorite Jeff Rouse (WR holder) and David Berkoff. 5. Linford Christie of GBR- 100m at 1988 Olympic. He won silver behind Carl Lewis, after Ben Johnson was disqualified for doping. Four years later he won gold.
The badminton legend Lin Dan should be on the list as well. He lost at round 32 in 2004 but came back with gold medal in 2008 and 2012. That makes him the legend of badminton MS.
How could I forget Lennox Lewis, undisputed HW champion ? At age 18, Lewis represented Canada in the super HW division at Los Angeles 1984. He lost to Tyrell Biggs in quarter final, who won the gold. Four years later, he won gold, beating Riddick Bowe in the final.
@Mr Clean In the US, yes, MJ was well known. But being a person that grew up and moved around alot overseas, US college championships were NOT highly televised worldwide, if at all especially in the 1980s. Even now if you were to ask someone from another country who won the 2019 NCAA Basketball Championship, there's a high probability that they wouldn't know.
Bolt was the World Junior and World Youth Champion, and also holder of the WJR and WYB heading into the Athens Olympics. His 19.93 was also the World Lead at the time so it was hardly an unknown debut??
No " LIN DAN ".....he lost in early stages of 2004 olympics. won gold in both 2008 n 2012 olympics. Best ever badminton player world has ever seen. Anyways...great inspiring video.
Rumyana Neykova - Bulgarian rower won her gold medal in her fifth Olympics in Beijing, after winning silver in Sidney and bronze in Athens (35 years). Valentin Yordanov - the wrestler of the 20th century - was 36 years when he won in Atlanta. Pretty amazing.
y yo aqui preguntandome porque jamas ponen a massu y a gonzalez en estos top, si alguien tiene un video, que me lo pase, (que sea oficial del canal de las olimpiadas)
you can feel the difference of confidence between their first and second attempt
I might gonna add Lin Dan from China (Badminton). He had his olympic debut at Athens 2004, only reaching round of 32. But after then, he got gold in both Beijing 2008 and London 2012
cant believe phelps was only 15 at his first olympics
I’d argue Federer was pretty well known by then

This is what I call NEVER GIVE UP!!!
Really? Making the olympics as a teenager or very young person in their 20s is what you call never giving up?

USAIN BOLT, MICHAEL PHELPS, MICHAEL JORDAN and ROGER FEDERER to me are the icons for this OLYMPICS.
How is Federer an icon for the olympics, he’s never won gold singles, and this is coming from a fed fan
Mihir Hingorani you don't have to win a gold singles to be an icon?
sylvia well to be an Olympic legend you need to be consistently at the top of the Olympics, which Federer was not, while I agree he was a tennis legend, he was not exactly a Olympic legend
There’re icons to their own sports if that’s what u meant
Pyrros Dimas , Alexander Karelin, Naim Suleymanoglu

Jesse Owens

I'd wish him the best. Hope he will be successful in NBA and maybe land a role in movies or something
