It would have to be this moment from the other day where Djokovic finally won an olympic gold medal, the first set was crazy lasting almost an hour and a half! This is the achievement djokovic has finally won which eluded him. The level of tennis they play was absolutely insane. Well worth watching back

My favorite moment is the women's singles badminton competition, where in the semifinals, between Gregoria Mariska Tunjung from Indonesia against An Se Young from South Korea, their competition was very tense, which we clearly know An Se Young is the world's number 1 women's singles badminton player, but Gregoria didn't give up fighting An Se Young, she fought An Se Young with all her might without thinking about winning or losing. This made me amazed at Gregoria. Her fighting spirit is something we should emulate.

Some call it whitewater kayaking, officially it's Canoe Slalom, but sometimes they call it kayak cross... Olympic Canoe Slalom | Paris 2024 Olympics

Since I started to explore watersports, this one has been pretty interesting and new to me.

The best moment was at 01:19, when an assistant jumped into the water to save the athlete, what a job! Kudos to the safety team!

Usain Bolts 100m win in London 2012 was an amazing moment of sport and entertainment in general. A huge personality and a true entertainer, with the talent and ability to match.

Such an iconic moment in the olympics and more memorable with it being in the UK. the 2nd fastest time in history other than his own 9.58s world record!

The most iconic moment for the olympics from me has to be the Opening ceremony in London. Wow. Directed by the talented Danny Boyle, you can’t help but get goosebumps watching this.

Seeing cameos from the Queen, James Bond, rowan Atkinson?? Whattt?? And let’s not forget the iconic reunion of The Spice Girls, and the recognition of the NHS. I remember where I was when this came on and I saw how untied we were as a country.
