"Barthel from little Luxembourg has won gold" what a cute way to put it😂😂😂
So proud to be luxembourgish, what an inspiration! Ehrenmann
Sami Bouraoui yo sami😂
Also, welcome back to Eurovision after 31 years.
How.... Why.... Did they forget the national anthem, it's so nice.
They were not prepared for it! No one even had an inkling that a guy from Luxembourg could win,so the orchestra improvised a 'national anthem' on the spot.
They never forgot it, they’ve just never heard it.
0:20 Actually I am very surprised that Canada won gold back then. Usually the USSR dominated ice hockey until the pros were allowed to compete.
well it is canada
While the pros from the Eastern Bloc had been competing all along. (The Soviet Pros were all in the armed forces)
Lucas Liso the Soviet domination began after 1960
Well it was not yet the 1960 Olympics, before this the country was trying to establish its hockey team, everyone in USSR well the mostly Russian part played Bandy at the time a similar sport but enough different that the sports do not quite match up for very top level competition. Now Mostly all Russian's that are pro's play in a famous outdoor hockey league that most are from Russia.
Loving these historical videos. Can you make something from when Denmark won something impressive?
@Nicotex Denmark is a great country!
😳Little Luxembourg!
Amazing! 🥇 🇱🇺
NOBODY EVEN NOTICED THAT 4TH PLACE WAS THE GREAT ROGOR BANNISTER OF UK,WHO BROKE THE 4 MINUTE MILE BARRIER TWO YRS LATER
Yea cuz that's not what the video is about, it's about this great achievement by Luxembourg 🇱🇺🥇
All four of my mom’s grandparents came from Luxembourg - I’d love to see it one day!
This was a highly controversial race both on the day and for decades afterwards. Josey Barthel's sudden improvement in performance so late in his career owed more than a little to the methamphetamines with which he had been experimenting. Of course the use of performance enhancing drugs was not illegal at that time (cf Harold Abrahams in the Paris Olympics 100m - coached by the notorious drugs specialist Sam Mussabini) though even then it was not really in the spirit of the sport.
Is the drugs story true ?
It’s likely, but there’s no proof. Just like it’s likely for probably all the contestants in that race. In the 50s, athletes took these drugs like athletes today take an energy drink.
Stop your bla bla bla
Parabéns pelos vídeos maravilhoso, É muito gratificante quando chega as conquistas.
Beautiful Barthel. 🏆🥇
Sur l'une des photos, on a le jardin du Luxembourg qui se trouve à Paris, donc en France. Sinon superbe exploit pour ce sportif.
But they were recorded as the same times but it was clear Barthel crossed the tape first.
Alla fine del XX secolo è stata scoperta l'origine lussemburghese di Michel Theato, medaglia d'oro alle olimpiadi di Parigi, 1900
This is why we compete. Anyone can win!
Look who got 4th place
Thanks for uploading.
A big milestone for that time
Thank You!
What’s with the fake British accent commentary during the race itself?
fake British accent?
Thats not a fake accent bro, it's called RP
His accent reminds me of Rick Mayall's character in Blackadder 😂
Estas do trista por la luxemburga atleto.
Hahaha, that's so funny!
😂
They matured fast in those days! I have a picture of my dad at 19 - he was a MAN already then! Nowadays, people in their 30s are still sponging off mother and staying in the family basement...
O choro de mary decker ou neymar 1984 ou 2016
Why are all national anthems the same
Well, you can hear the Indian National Anthem. It's melodious, trust me.
