🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh goodie. another "hold my..." joke. how original.

Für Anna Veith tut es mir leid. Sie hätte es verdient nach den Verletzungen aber so ist Sport.

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"

Absolutely correct, one of my favorite moments of the Olympics and I am rooting for her again in the 2022 Olympics! Go Esther!

TRUE!!!!

Mine too.

Which kind of snowboarding is this !!! It is 🎿

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

it is incredible how he calls it right in the perfect moment...

Yeah. This was a fantastic call for a fantastic performance

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!

👍👍👍👍

And that she won snowboarding later as well

Shawn White has entered the chat

@@allmight1359 she has something he will never have a gold in gs ski race

except of the mine

She race from like almost the 50th spot

The Aussie chap in the speed skating was pretty incredible

@@adamwyatt-lowe2833 I was Steven Bradbury the first Australian gold medal in the history of winter Olympics in 2002

@@bunt1691 yes. Almost no one was broadcasting. Veith was already considered the winner. Got everyone by surprise

She's a monster athlete. Congratulations!

congrats - she's legend (and fearless)

+ 5. and 4. place :-)

👍👍👍👍

Přesně Judy

👍👍👍👍

@@changeeyecolor3891 Nice!

This was one of the most wonderful and genuine stories of the entire Olympic history

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.

Incredible! This is the kind of thing that makes the Olympics fun to watch.

👍👍👍👍

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.

google Emil Zátopek....you may like his tripple at 5k, 10k and marathon.

She had the skies of Mikaela shiffrin. She decided not to race and gave the material to here.

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.

not true

Najs hoši

@@simontaticek5520 Kick rocks

yep, pretty much!

Yes. It was basically a controlled fall watching her going down that thing 🤣

@@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.

I think people call that a fluke haha

@@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

@@mitsanut5869 I saw Ester water skiing and sail boarding. She's ripped...

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

cant imagine how the person on the 4th place felt

@@xaKristyy Ouch

@@xaKristyy She was only 0.01 behind 3rd place too as you can see from the standings at 0:27

Přesně tak, to se nikdy nezají... A jak koukala jako telátko, když zjistila, že je zlatá... ...opravdová krása sportu!

Beautifully said.......

This is Super G. Downhill is faster.

Hi from Prague. IT had never happenned before. Ever.

Correction: not golf, but ski

"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.

Commentator:"Two massive errors."

, c , 055 ..........:-.'.

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! 😂

Fun fact, the Atomics aren't even her. She borrowed them from another skier (I forgot the name tho)

Ne, neomrzí. Pouštím si to vždy, když mám pocit, že lidstvo nemá smysl... ...má! 😉

For snowboard lady... ... Yeah!!!

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.
