22 Moments de Sport Magnifiques
Transcript
00:00 Hi everyone!
00:02 We think you'll agree that sport is not only about victories and defeats,
00:09 but that it's also sometimes incredibly beautiful to watch.
00:12 And it's not only the athletes themselves who can be the stars of these spectacular moments,
00:16 but also the fans or the pom-pom girls.
00:19 Today, we're going to show you moments of this kind from different competitions.
00:23 Let's go!
00:28 What's an incredible dunk?
00:30 It's when the basket is unable to withstand the impact.
00:33 And BIM!
00:37 And to think that this guy is still playing for his school.
00:39 Imagine what he'll become later.
00:41 Golf can hardly be qualified as a spectacular sport,
00:45 but incredible moments happen during the games.
00:49 What if a wide-open space was between the ball and the hole?
00:52 No need to be a pro player to understand that you should hit the ball with caution above the tank.
00:57 However, John Rahm wouldn't agree.
01:00 While training in Georgia, he decided to show a lot of originality on his birthday
01:05 and to make a shot that will remain in the legend forever.
01:08 [BIRDS CHIRPING]
01:11 Go on, go on, go on!
01:27 [CHEERING]
01:29 What better birthday present?
01:32 All those who saw this moment live on TV had to cry next to David Beckham.
01:37 Even today, it's hard not to be moved by this moment.
01:40 When the best players end their careers, it's always exciting.
01:44 But this farewell was particularly moving.
01:46 Beckham only stayed 5 months in the club, but the whole stadium saluted him.
01:50 His teammates didn't want to let him leave the field for a long time.
01:54 It's probably why he seems so famous.
01:56 Swimming, artistic skating or diving synchronization is great,
02:01 but what do you think of this school's "Pompom Girls" show?
02:04 [CHEERING]
02:07 To believe the audience's reaction, they didn't expect such a turn.
02:12 We can't even imagine how long it took these girls to train for this show.
02:16 And now, let's go back to the Rio 2016 Olympics to remember one of the best moments of these games.
02:22 We're not going to show you a new incredible record,
02:24 but rather the proof that there is always a place for gallantry and respect in professional sport.
02:28 During the 5000m run, Abid Agostinho accidentally walked on the foot of Nicky Hamblin,
02:33 who was running in front of her, and the two girls fell.
02:35 All hope of winning medals was lost.
02:37 How can you not be angry in such a situation?
02:40 However, the American immediately rushed to help her rival, and Nicky gave her the device.
02:45 It turned out that D'Agostino had torn her ligaments.
02:48 The most surprising thing in all this is that the two athletes found the strength to finish the race,
02:52 which ended in very touching hugs.
02:54 Besides, they didn't run out of medals after all.
02:57 The girls received a prize for their sporting spirit.
03:00 If you follow sports news, you've probably heard of the challenges that sponsors sometimes organize for fans.
03:06 This guy, for example, had to get the pallet into a tiny hole from the center of the field.
03:11 You think it's impossible? Well, not for him.
03:14 We can't be more precise.
03:20 This lucky fan of the Vancouver Canucks has just won a brand new Toyota.
03:24 But look at his reactions. It's hard to believe that he manages to score such goals every day.
03:28 We have a winner!
03:31 Oh my God!
03:33 You may not know it, but baseball is almost as popular in Japan as in America,
03:37 and the players of the regional leagues often go to play in the United States.
03:41 Here's the proof that these players are pretty good.
03:43 The batter hits the ball, it flies over the stadium, and is about to fall into the hands of his spectators,
03:48 when suddenly, this player climbs at full speed and manages to catch him at the last moment.
03:53 At full speed, this guy managed to accurately determine the trajectory of this projectile and climbed over the fence.
03:59 How to do a home run with a player as efficient as Spiderman?
04:03 Making 5 straight strikes or hitting two keys placed on both sides with a single ball
04:07 are only the best actions that the best bowling players are capable of.
04:11 One day, the Association of Professional Bowling Players had to choose the best shot of all time.
04:15 And Chris Barnes accomplished the famous flying eagle, which left everyone speechless.
04:21 It's just amazing!
04:23 There are often spectacular returns in professional sports,
04:26 and sometimes they are particularly surprising.
04:28 This is the case of the Swedish athletics champion Angelica Bengtsson.
04:32 Look at how her third attempt at the 2019 World Athletics Championships ended.
04:38 A piece of her pole simply broke in mid-flight.
04:46 According to the rules, in such a situation, it is necessary to give the athlete a chance to try again.
04:51 But the young girl did not have a spare pole.
04:53 It was then that her French rival, who had already passed her turn, came to the rescue.
04:56 And maybe you already guessed what happened next.
04:59 Angelica jumped over the 480 cm bar and set a new national record.
05:03 This is what we call a real determination.
05:06 It's hard to imagine many current sports without Pom Pom Girls.
05:09 Sometimes, their performances are much more impressive than the competitions themselves.
05:13 Here's how the Japanese Pom Pom Girls supported their team during an American football tournament.
05:17 Yes, this sport also exists in their country.
05:19 How do they not have to be afraid to go into such acrobatics?
05:22 As we did not find any footage of the match itself,
05:24 we think these girls must have been much more impressive than the other athletes that day.
05:28 So let us show you one of the most common acrobatic movements performed by the Pom Pom Girls.
05:36 All filmed from a rare angle,
05:38 to prove to you that this activity is not only a sport,
05:41 but also a very rare one.
05:43 Impressive, isn't it?
05:45 It would be great if the girl was wearing a GoPro and we could see the jump in person.
05:50 In the meantime, let's slow down a bit.
05:52 Because it's still impressive.
05:54 In case some people still think that the Pom Pom Girls are just happy to perform some basic dances with pom-poms,
05:59 it's time to deny this myth for good.
06:02 Here is a classic training of the American Pom Pom Girls team from the University of the State of Grand Valley.
06:07 It's nice, isn't it?
06:09 It's time to see their performance.
06:11 Their coordination, flexibility and acrobatics are impeccable.
06:14 It's not for nothing that cheerleading is considered as a sport in its own right.
06:18 The best moments of football do not only take place during the Champions League matches.
06:24 We can now see the shooting practice during a match of the Russian Football National League.
06:29 Let's pause here so you can try to understand what happened.
06:32 Was it a parachute? A rebound on the crossbar? A kickback?
06:37 A kickback on the crossbar!
06:40 I'd say a backflip in full penalty.
06:42 This guy has probably already been noticed by Real Madrid.
06:45 A goal against his own team.
06:47 Well, one of the teams deliberately scores in his own team.
06:50 But what's going on here?
06:52 You just saw one of the most beautiful examples of fair play.
06:54 Let's analyze this moment from the beginning to understand why.
06:57 During a match of the German Oberliga,
06:59 one of the players found himself on the ground and his teammate cleared the ball to make sure he was fine.
07:03 According to the principles of fair play, their opponents should have given them the ball,
07:06 but instead, they attacked and scored.
07:09 Fortunately, the coach of the team had more principles.
07:12 He immediately demanded that he score a goal against their team.
07:15 Frankly, if only each club had such a coach.
07:18 Many people think that physical abilities are the most important thing in sport,
07:22 while intelligence is optional.
07:24 Error.
07:25 It is precisely when athletes use their brains that we get the most beautiful and most memorable moments.
07:30 This young man, for example, did not waste any resources.
07:32 He noticed that the color of his uniform matched perfectly with that of the field
07:36 and made a low profile until the moment he scored.
07:38 Then he was able to fly with the ball.
07:40 Isn't that great?
07:42 A promising offensive from Tottenham on the flank,
07:45 but the player with the ball falls and, lying down,
07:47 makes a superb pass to the blind with his heel.
07:49 We absolutely need to see it again.
07:51 Anyway, this is Dele Alli.
07:53 He has always been able to get out of the most difficult situations.
07:56 If you don't recognize these retro images in the first seconds that follow,
08:00 then you probably don't know the legendary goalkeeper, René Higuita.
08:04 Not only did he score more than 40 goals during his career,
08:07 but this guy also made stunts that earned him the name of "the crazy man".
08:11 And look with your own eyes.
08:13 It's crazy, isn't it? But so spectacular.
08:19 Only a few have managed to reproduce the hit of the scorpion since then.
08:23 Many of those who watch the biggest football tournaments
08:26 complain today that the matches have become less impressive.
08:28 And you know why? Well, it's simple.
08:30 Without the fans in the stands, a lot of the show was lost.
08:34 Just look at the performance of the fans of Borussia Dortmund's club
08:38 to realize the importance of this show.
08:40 After such an event, the match may end without any goal or danger,
08:44 which will not be sad for that.
08:46 Sports are really surprising.
08:48 Sometimes there are impressive moments,
08:50 even when the competition is already over.
08:52 Let's take this one, which took place at the end of the last home match
08:55 of the basketball team of the University of Indiana Bloomington.
08:58 Players are used to say goodbye to the team's graduates after such a match.
09:02 Here are some images.
09:03 However, here, the player Colin Hartman
09:05 did not talk much about the difficulty of his studies or his training.
09:08 He preferred to thank his girlfriend for her support,
09:11 invited her on the field, and what followed is worthy of a Hollywood movie.
09:23 In American football, agility is as important as strength.
09:26 However, this guy seems to have invested all his efforts in one skill.
09:30 He would have been damn good in parkour with such a jump.
09:32 Don't you think?
09:33 Have you ever been a big fan of sports clubs when you were a kid?
09:39 If so, imagine the place of this little guy.
09:42 His hero noticed it and gave him the most beautiful gift.
09:45 It may be the most precious of palaces.
09:47 And now, let's go back to the 400-meter race at the Barcelona Olympic Games in 1992.
09:52 Few spectators remembered the names of those who had been medalized that day,
09:56 because everyone was too busy admiring this man.
09:58 Four years earlier, Derek Redmond could not participate in the game due to an injury,
10:02 withdrawing from the competition 10 minutes before the start.
10:05 In 1992, he promised his father to cross the finish line, whatever happens.
10:09 But fate can be sometimes ruthless.
10:12 The athlete's discus in his leg was broken at the start of his race,
10:15 which then led to an ovation from 65,000 spectators.
10:19 Derek's father ran to his son, who squeezed his teeth in pain.
10:22 And they reached the finish line together.
10:24 Hey, stop showing off.
