Best athletes in the world?

[Rusty_Shackleford]

I LOVE the Olympics, winter and summer games. I watch it all. I admire those kids and what they sacrifice to participate in the games and represent their countries.
This year's has seen the addition of drone coverage of several sports and it's incredible footage. I particularly like the drones flying behind the downhill skiers and the ski jumpers. It's a whole new perspective on how fast and high they go.

But with the highlights are some low lights as well. I love the commentary on this one .
Even I could do this

Talk about a ball buster.

That skier will be talking with a high pitched voice for a while.

I felt bad for the next skier. We never heard any commentary on his run because the announcer wouldn't quit talking about the previous guy.

This is pretty cool footage. A view we never see.
You're a ski jumpers POV

I'm not much of an athlete myself but I am a huge fan of the Olympics (both summer and winter edition). Same goes for the Paralympics. When I was in my twenties and thirties, I use to go to the gym. But after that I didn't had the urge to go anymore. At home I'm still using certain weights just to keep my condition at a certain level. Which is important with my health situation.

Not to throw any shade on the Olympics (though I think some shade is deserved), but the best athletes in the world are on American football teams.
