There was a Capoeira/Teacher movie called "Only The Strong" that I got into, but otherwise, I don't tend to really enjoy watching sporting events on TV.

I used to really get into watching modern dance shows and ice skating competitions in person and I've always liked watching rhythmic gymnastics on TV.

back up a second... nacho libre was a real thing?!?!?!

what the hell mexico

please at least tell me the fat girl who crawled through the holes in the baseboards like a rat was fake :<

(also please tell me the midgets were real)

Jesse Owens

well, certainly a blam sandwich in terms of sporting achievement; and almost a century later, people still complain about those of african descent in sports :)

Greatest moment in australian sport since a long long time, possibly back to americas cup (i suppose im bias since i dont like cricket or rugby much). Still gives me the shivers thinking back to watching the shootout.
Edit : shit quality video i know

The movie, "Balls of Fury" with Christopher Walken was an awesome sports movie too!

I just saw Makoto Nagano do an awesome job on Ninja Warrior again! He and Ayako Miyake are so cool.

There's a Ninja Warrior marathon on G4 right now! Mr. Octopus was on there with a giant octopus and wearing a thong!

pacman wins again!

i dont have g4 tv :<

i have found a link though and will proceed to watch./

lets be honest, pacmans victory is not any achievement. mosley is >40 y old, around 50 fights, fought against pacman and mayweather and NEVER lost before the end of time. thats achievement for me.

Look at that:

3-0 against Russia in semi-finals.

6-1 against Sweden in finals.

It's gold for Finland!

watched those games artturi (not huge on the NHL; IIHF is some of the most interesting hockey to watch)

and yeah we might never see a more awesome goal in the game of hockey; hard enough to pull that off just mucking around in the driveway, and there he is in international competition blasting it out; ice wouldn't melt in his mouth

edit: maybe they can bring granlund to my crappy hometown team
