I've never felt this happy for someone I didn't know existed 3 minutes ago.

What we see is a 2 min video, what he did was 12 years of hard work, respect

When people say “gold” is the only medal worth winning, they clearly haven’t met the people coming second and third or seen their emotions.. i mean just competing in Olympics is itself a pretty big deal and then making it to the podium is huge and admirable... just ask a guy who comes fourth..he would do anything in the world to earn that bronze back. Ultimate respect to those who compete at this highest level for such long times and make their countries proud.

I saw his fall in Beijing and in London and I felt so sorry for him and all his hard work. While watching him in Rio I was repeating in my mind "please don't fall" and he landed perfectly. I was so proud of him, his strength, his resilience.

I swear he looks like a different person in every game

He still went on 8 years later?! What a machine. He should be so proud of it all - the landings and the tumbles.

*Learning* - You Fall on your Face You Fall on Your head And then You Fall Straight Head held High ! SALUTE !!

A prata mais dourada que ja vi nas olimpíadas. Um verdadeiro guerreiro, não desistiu até conseguir sua medalha. Parabéns, Diego Hipólito.

that fact that he finally managed to win this in his own country makes this even more special.

The medal isn't made up of silver, it's made up of blood,tear and sweat.

Nowadays he Works for the most important TV channel in Brazil, he's very polite, secure, sensible in his comments. Congrats for him!!👏🏾👏🏻👏🏽👏🏾 Diego é massa!! Tá ótimo tb como comentarista da Globo; seguro, coerente, comentários pertinentes!!

Falling down is an accident, but staying down is a choice… respect!

In the end he wasn't screaming for the medal he was screaming for that he didnt fall. He managed to beat his fear and stand on his feet, a true warrior. In all aspects in life the only fight we have to take is the fight with ourselves.

It’s almost unreal how humans are able to perform such amazing feats

He is the happiest silver medalist ever. I'm happy for him too!

That's the power of not giving up.

I legitimately thought that this video would be about how to break your fall properly without injuring yourself

Only man with iron heart can overcome this along 8 years. We can't imagine how much pain he suffered EVERY single nights.

Silver medal for his skills at Rio Gold medal for his efforts and never give up attitude..

4 anos de preparação para 1 minuto e 10 segundos de apresentação. O peso de uma nação nas costas, sangue, suor e lágrimas.

Glad that he was able to win in his home soil. Inspirational story.

Are you sure it’s the same guy? He looks like he’s getting younger every time :D

Whenever I feel hopeless about my professional life, I come here. Thanks for being such an inspiration, Diego ❤

😭 When he landed on his feet after the last pass. He screamed and I just 😭 for him. What an inspiration. 2:09

He literally fell on his bottom, then flat on his face, but that didn't stop him. He got back up and accomplished his goal. He is truly inspirational!

His hair line is the true champion came back stronger every time

His tears at the end shows how much efforts he had put, both physically and mentally.

Imposible no llorar viendo este ejemplo de vida, qué perseverancia, valentía y determinación la de este hombre !

This is the definition of a man and of a warrior. This feeling, when he was crying, can probably be felt by a few percent of people in the world. This is a pure and complex feeling at the same time. Proud of him!

As Brazilian, he's in a remaining group of athletes that go with their hearts to each olympic games. He is a example of training discipline and an inspiration for all athletes here in Brazil.

Whenever i feel low and need a pick me up, i always play this video. So inspiring to see true blue dedication bearing fruit.

I like it when people fails, decides to quit but eventually comes stronger to succeed and then be happy. Look at his happiness.!

King

Can you imagine having to wait for something for 12 years of your life?! Most of us might just give up and move on. But if you didn't give up then that means you definitely won it.

This really brought tears in my eyes! Proud of Diego and his spirit, never give up!

Cara o Diego é um grande guerreiro, se ele não tivesse caído das duas vezes com certeza teria ganhado pelo menos um ouro.

Just making it to Nationals is an incredible accomplishment, let alone the Olympic Games, let alone the Olympic podium. He was never a loser. The only way to lose in life is to not try.

it may have been silver but he treated it like gold, true inspiration

"Why do we fall?" " so we can learn to pick ourselves up." -batman begins

Eu me lembro que ele se cobrou mt depois dessa queda de cara no chão, deu muito dó dele. A gente que sabe o esforço dele, sente a dor dele. Mas, ele foi um atleta incrível e sempre será um orgulho do Brasil ♡

Glad to read all these positive comments. As a brazilian, I fell with him and I can speak for all countryman that was watching him. That was a strike over his carrer and life. He got depressed, literally sick. We're all humans, we all have flaws and bad moments. Couldn't be different for him. But as you all can see, he stand up and did what he did. A true hero and pride for his country. Thanks to the channel for such a great compilation, thank you all for the comments. God bless you all. 🙏🏼

When you fall, never stay down. This is deeper than you may think.

Essas quedas pra mim, Diego, nem fazem diferença diante dos saltos que que você faz! Simplesmente maaraaaaavilhooooso!

Brings a tear to my eyes and goosebumbs on my shoulders every single time i watch this

Bro i know zero thing about gymnastics, but 1:33 looks clean asf😤

This man fell twice in the Olympics but didn’t give up till he landed his routine.. here I am trying to find energy to study for my finals. Thanks Diego, I didn’t know you existed till 3 minutes ago, but you just gave me the little motivation I needed.

The way he "loses control" of his emotions at 2:08 is so wholesome. He quickly realized he still had to salute the jury before turning happy.

Truely inspirational...what a comeback.....it is just that split second that takes away all your hard work...

This honestly brought tears to my eyes!! And the fact that he had considered quitting before he made it, but persevered really provides a heartwarming message

This is the best thing I have ever seen. His face when he gets his medal made me cry. What a guy

I remember watching from home this last final with all my family. It was so tense, I was just hoping he could finish the presentation without any fall, and when he did, I knew it was a priceless moment for him! Made my day and the day of all the Brazilians cheering for him 🇧🇷💪👏

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ i cry every time i see this! So much talent, discipline and perseverance! Well done Diego!👏🏽👏🏽

I never imagined crying for a stranger. The look on his face got me in tears.

Poor him, he put himself through so much pressure, but then again, diamonds only form under pressure.

Really whenever I used to watch this video inspired each time and that last crying at prize dice really touch my heart. Well done Diego you are my inspiration.

I'll never forget the day he won this medal. Everyone screaming with joy at the restaurant I was at, we were all so proud!

Kudos to the Brazilian sports authority for remaining loyal to him. Diego, you're a wonderful human being. May God lift grant you more success in your life.

As you can see being first is not always important, what is important is the impact you have on people, even though he was second his story truly motivated me and i still don't know who got first place.

He should be awarded with a platinum medal for his relentless dedication.

Motivated by his own-self. Challenged by his own-self. He has no one to compete but him. That’s true winner in nature. Respect, Brother. 🙏

My friends from Brazil, hope you all are well. I dont know even the bare basics of gymnastics, but I felt really proud of Diego Hypolito. The way he kept rising up after fall for (at least)8years, your people and govt must have supported him a lot. My nation India is trying to improve, but still it can learn important lessons from top athletes like these and these short videos will definitely inspire a lot of young guys. Lets hope I get to see an Indian/Indian team winning a gold medal.

He gave me hope 😭😭😭 I am appearing for a exam every year since 4 years and now I was thinking to quit 😞😞😞😞 but after seeing him I will prepare once more with full energy 🔥🔥🔥 and will definitely succeed it. 😤😤😤 Thanku so much love from India 🇮🇳 🇮🇳🇮🇳

Really.. i can feel the happiness and struggle he has put in . ... He is a hero and inspiration for many..

Diego Hypolito is the poster child for tenacity. My father used to take me to Boy Scouts and he would drive me on my paper route and to swim practice, to diving practice, to football, track, field, motocross...he bent over backwards to take me to all these events. I never gave up. I never let up. When i fell i got up again. We would drive hours to some of these events and if i fall down i am going to get up because my father did not drive that far and spend all that money for a quitter. He never told me that...i just knew that when you fall off a horse you get back on that horse because that's what winners do. This Olympian never stayed down. He always got up. I was crying as i watched this video because i knew he was going to put it all together. I was pulling for him...cheering him on. I felt like the official who put the medal on his neck hugged him in congratulations obviously knowing his tough luck in earlier olympics. Perseverence got him onto that podium. I am very proud of him and i have never met him. BRAVO Diego Hypolito!

"a man can be destroyed but cannot be defeated" Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea

It's so sad that he felt ashamed of himself, for one or two falls when he could do absolutely SUPERHUMAN things! I wish he could have felt proud of his amazingness the whole time.

So inspirarional! He is very emotional as well, he managed to control his emotions to reveal his talents! Congrats!

When an athlete cries for joy on the podium when he/she wins a hard-worked-for Olympic medal, especially in their home country, it hits my heart so powerfully!

Why am I in tears 😭😭😭😭 ... Tears of happiness inspite of being in a different country 😭😭 _😭_

What u don't see is the years he spent training for a single moment! And he failed twice and didn't give up, that's truly a heroe

After years of trying he got a medal AT HOME! Proud of him and my people! 🇧🇷

When ever i feel down i watch such videos to boost my self for the event 🙂... Respect. That thing remind me my hard work four year back ... Now alhamdolilla i am doing successful and trying for the best for the future...

The sheer hapiness made my day. The purity of this man's smile and face tells that he has been through a lot. And I feel happy for him. Way to go.

2:37 When I saw him cry after he made his Dream come true. That was enough to make a grown man cry.

Watching this during Tokyo 2020 And I’m thinking there’s someone failing today who will bounce back the next 4 years at least. Thumbs up to every athlete out there cos this takes a lot of patience 🎉🎉 Medal or not, you are a Winner!

MARAVILHOSO!! Temos muito orgulho do nosso grande atleta brasileiro Diego Hipolyto e sua historia. Abencoado por Deus!! BRASILLLLL!!

"IN BEIJING I LANDED ON MY BACKSIDE, IN LONDON I LANDED ON MY FACE" "THIS TIME, *I LANDED ON MY FEET, WITH MY HEAD HELD HIGH* " pure hardwork and dedication. This a definition of a man and a warrior. That medal isn't made of any silver but made of blood, sweat and tears!

His crying and expressions seemed so genuine

I’m literally in tears. Such an inspiration!

Absolutely amazing!!!!! So glad you never gave up❤️💛

Everybody admiring how Diego redeemed himself while I admire how he kept his hair in perfect shape the whole time

the dedication. The courage to overcome his previous falls, and probably even more scary, overcome the fear of falling again for the 3rd time. Heart of a champion.

Diego você é incrível e nos inspira!! Orgulho do Brasil ! ❤️❤️🇧🇷🇧🇷

I cried. You are an inspiration, Diego.

Que orgulho ver um brasileiro levando o nome do país pro mundo de maneira tão inspiradora. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

*Grande DIEGO HYPÓLITO! orgulho dos brasileiros nas olimpíadas, A HISTÓRIA DESSE CARA É DIGNA DE UM BOM FILME!*

Fantastic Diego. Congrats

This is so emotional and wholesome. Everyone started rooting for that guy the third time!

Inspirational. What he needed was a great hair appearently, just like Samson. His hair somehow got better and better through the years.

Watching him so sad after losing made my heart hurt so much for him. He isnt a cocky man, hes very respectful he is what a REAL man looks and behaves like.

Maybe if I got an opportunity to view Olympics live, I would end up crying every time I saw these hard working individuals trying and working so hard Power to all the the people who try and get better each day, work harder for the better 😍❤️

Chorei. Diego, voce é incrível mano! Parabéns pra caramba!

He really wanted it so bad. Conquered his fears and his own feeling of humiliation. That is more important than a piece of metal.

Diego é a personificação do "espirito de guerreiro" anos e anos de sua vida forjando essa medalha que conquistou em 2016!! Mas a forja não ardia em brasas, e sim em dedicação, sangue, lágrimas e suor!

Tem um olho na minha lágrima, Diego guerreiro♥️

Congratulations Diego, everyone falls, this year was Uchimura's turn and that's really sad for a gymnast. But you are a winner, you desearved your medal and I'm absolutely sure you would've win the gold medal in 2008 if it wasn't for a second of a little mistake, but this is how sports and Olympics are. Congratulations for not giving up!

The dedication is visible in his appearance. Every other Olympic he is getting younger. The diet, discipline, perseverance is clearly visible.

Him looking at his metal is so wholesome

What a story...What an inspiration! I am able to relate myself with my own career with his failed attempts...I am hanging in still... Putting all my efforts... Hoping to be successful one day...

Com TDS as adversidades do esporte no Brasi,l com o tão pouco insentivo aos atletas e ainda assim chegar numa final olímpica já digno de orgulho ... Palmas garoto vc é merecedor de mts 👏👏
