Cody Simpson's Favourite and Possibly The Best Team Swimming Race in History | My Olympic Moment - Duration: 5:13.September 16th, 2000 in Sydney, Australia.
The world had no idea what was in store for them.
The men's 4 x 100m freestyle relay.
Some have called it the best team swim race in history.
I'm Cody Simpson
and this is My Olympic Moment.
(CODY SIMPSON MUSICIAN/SONGWRITER)
I think maybe something that a lot of people didn't know
is that I did swim competitively pretty seriously
before I started to get really busy with my music.
I was Australian champion for butterfly and freestyle
for about four or five years in a row growing up.
Swimming, for me, really embedded
that competitive spirit within me since I was a young boy
and I've really taken that with me
as I've grown up and I now apply that to my music
and that always makes me want to get better
as a songwriter and as a guitar player.
I really was born into the sport.
Both of my parents were Australian champion swimmers
and that's how they met.
So ever since I can remember,
I was kinda destined to be involved in it in some way.
I started competing really, really young,
when I was about nine or ten years old
and loved it ever since my first race.
2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia.
The men's 4 x 100m freestyle relay.
America has always been dominant in this relay,
but Australia had a really good team
that Olympics led by Ian Thorpe.
Could Australia do it and pull off a huge upset?
The buzzer goes off and
everyone's into the water.
USA in lane four.
Australia in lane five.
So Michael Klim gets off to a really, really quick
first leg leading by half a body length.
On the first leg of the relay,
Michael Klim also broke
the individual 100m freestyle record
with a time of 48.18.
Australia really got off to the start that they needed.
The crowd was going nuts.
The whole stadium was going off.
Second swimmer, Chris Fydler,
keeps up the momentum.
And then Ashley Callus dives in
and he's swimming like he's never swum before,
but the American swimmer quickly caught him.
This was terrible. Everyone was wondering now if Australia
was going to lose the race because the Americans
were catching up quick.
Now we have the last Aussie, Ian Thorpe,
and the last American, Gary Hall Jr,
anxiously waiting to get in the water.
Two of the world's best swimmers
waiting for their team-mates.
Ian Thorpe, Australia's anchor,
exploded off the block
and into the water.
Gary Hall Jr was almost instantly
pulling ahead of Ian Thorpe
and it was not looking good for Australia.
In the final 50 meters,
America was still ahead,
but Ian Thorpe was slowly
mowing him down.
Which country would reach the wall first?
During the final stretch, we had anticipation building,
until Ian Thorpe finally came ahead
in the last moments.
And Australia just exploded.
It was incredible.
Australia had just won the Olympic gold.
The Americans, the undefeated champions
of this event, finally lost
and Australia in their home country were able to do it.
Australia had set a new world record at 3.13.6 minutes.
Australia had beaten the Americans by .19 seconds.
It was that close.
To be great at anything,
a serious level of discipline, hard work, determination
and devotion of mind, body and spirit is necessary,
whether it's a sport or an art form like music.
I am humbled day to day by the fact
that I have so many people out across the globe
that are willing to listen to me and the things
that I have to say and the music that I have to give.
That keeps me going on a day-to-day basis.
I can be up on stage in front of a crowd
and inspire other people to go after
what they believe in and what they dream.
I just want to inspire other people to reach new heights.
This is My Olympic Moment.

White Chocolate Cookies Recipe - Duration: 3:11.Hey guys welcome to my channel!
In this video I will show you how I make white chocolate cookies.
They are so good and simple to make and they don't require allot of ingredients
For these cookies you will need:
Butter
All purpose flour
An egg
Vanilla extract, baking soda and salt
Brown and white sugar
And chocolate
To the flour add salt and baking soda and whisk it together.
The exact measurements will be in the description box down below.
Now to the butter, add the brown and white sugar
Here I am creaming the butter and the sugar
The butter should be at room temperature, that while make it much easier to cream it.
Cutting the butter in cubes can also make it easier to cream.
You can also do this with a kitchen machine if you have one.
Eventually it should look like this
Now add the egg* and vanilla extract
So after the egg has been incorporated, add the flour
You want to mix it until you see no more flour, but don't mix any longer
Then lastly add the chocolate, I used regular chocolate which i chopped in cubes because
I couldn't find chocolate chips for baking.
But if you do not set the oven too high, that shouldn't be a problem.
So after the chocolate has been incorporated take a spoon, or an ice cream scoop, to make dough balls.
So after I formed the balls, I put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Then put them on a lined baking sheet,
make sure to leave some space in-between as they will spread in the oven.
My oven was a bit too hot, so the browned more than their supposed to.
But if you bake them in a preheated oven on a temperature of 175 C for about 8-10 minutes,
you should be good.
The sweetness combined with the salt makes them absolutely delicious.
You can also freeze in the dough balls, and when your ready to use them just take them
out of the freezer.
Let it defrost and pop them in the oven.
Thanks for watching guys!

[CC] My Little Pony: Legend Of Everfree - Legend You Were Meant To Be (English) - Duration: 2:28.I used to think that stories were just that
Set in stone, concrete as a fact
It didn't dawn on me
That I could change history
Now I know I'm writing my own song
Fight my way to the ending that I want
I'll turn a tragedy
Into an epic fantasy
Hey, hey, hey
You can be a hero too
Oh-oh-oh
Take my hand, I'm here for you
Come away with me
Be the legend you were meant to be
You'll always be ever free
To be the legend you were meant to be
To be the legend you were meant to be
There was a time when fear would hold me down
'Cause I let it chain me to the ground
Look at me now, I'm soaring high
It's never boring in the sky
When I know I've got friends on my side
Whatever trials, I'll take them all in stride
Together we will shine so bright
A radiant brilliance in the night
Hey, hey, hey
You can be a hero too
Oh-oh-oh
Take my hand, I'm here for you
Come away with me
Be the legend you were meant to be
You'll always be ever free
To be the legend you were meant to be
To be the legend you were meant to be

AWKWARD AMERICAN!! Clinking Glasses in Germany & USA - Duration: 6:04.Someone gets a new drink and another round of toasting starts up again.
I nervously go from person to person trying not to spill my wine, trying to make eye contact,
and just in general trying not to look too nervous about the whole thing as I go.
Hey everyone! I'm Dana and you're watching Wanted Adventure Living Abroad.
As I mentioned in my awkward cheek kisses video, there are many things here in Germany
that I have really gotten used to and even gotten quite good at doing.
But like the double cheek kiss thing, toasting here in Germany is something that after 7
years of living here, I'm still pretty awkward at.
For one, here in Germany it's considered bad luck not to look people directly in the
eyes when you clink glasses with them.
In fact they say that not doing this could get you 7 years of bad sex.
But I'm just over here trying not to spill my wine all over the table.
I'm not always the most graceful person in the world.
In fact, I can be downright clumsy a lot of the time.
And so when I have a delicate little wine glass in my hand, especially when I'm trying
to hold it pinched between my fingers like you're apparently supposed to do for some reason.
I don't know why, because this feels like a very top-heavy situation to me with all the
liquid in here.
So I need all the concentration that I can muster zeroed in on my own glass as I move
it through the air and then gently, oh so gently, tap it against someone else's glass.
But alas, I know that in Germany it's customary to make eye contact, so what I usually end
up doing is, like, half looking at the person, but then, sort of, darting my eyes back and
forth between their gaze and my glass, their gaze and my glass, and I'm guessing that
in the end I just sort of end up looking anxious or scared as I try my best to
toast glasses with them.
In addition to all of that though, in the U.S., what I'm used to is only toasting
glasses one time at the beginning of a meal when everyone gets their first drink, and
sometimes not even then.
In my experience we toast glasses in the U.S. only if it's some sort of special occasion.
A girl's night out, a birthday party, anniversary, some sort of holiday.
But if I'm just having lunch with a couple of friends or I'm meeting a friend at a
casual restaurant, we're not dressed up, we're just ordering sodas, we're probably not
going to toast glasses.
Not even once at the beginning.
While in Germany it's been my experience that clinking glasses happens at most meals
that I have with my friends, whether it's out to eat at a fancy restaurant or just meeting
up at a casual bar-restaurant around the corner, or even just eating a relaxed meal at home.
And I've also learned that toasting glasses can happen not once, not twice, not three
times, but an infinite number of times during a meal or a night out in Germany.
For example, if someone finishes their drink and then gets a new one, well then everyone
toasts glasses all over again.
Or if a certain special song gets played at Oktoberfest, which they seem to do every time
I turn around, then everyone has to toast their glasses again.
And by everyone, I mean everyone.
That's another difference I've noticed.
In the U.S. if you're sitting six people around a table, and you all get your drinks
at the beginning, it's a special night, someone says, "Cheers!" and raises their
glass towards the center, everyone else would probably just kind of pick up their glass
and come in toward the center.
You might not technically end up meeting everyone's glass with your own.
It's often just one big symbolic toasting.
If there's someone at the other end of the table that you really wanted to toast glasses
with, but you just couldn't reach, then you might do this move: the silent
glass lift and nod.
In Germany, everyone clinks glasses with everyone else.
Most of the time. But sometimes not.
And that is where Awkward Dana strikes again.
Sometimes at even bigger events, of like 15 people or more, sometimes just one section
of the table over here will start toasting, and not the other half over here.
But somehow I end up getting caught right in the middle, and I don't know if I'm
part of the toasting side or the non-toasting side.
So I just sit there, again, totally awkward, waiting to see if anyone is going to invite
me into the toast or not.
It is so embarrassing to admit this out loud.
So my question for you is: What is the custom of toasting glasses where you live and are
you awkward at this too, or is it just me?
Please let me know in the comments below.
Thanks so much for watching.
I really hope that you enjoyed this video.
And of course, as always, I hope you will also enjoy the bloopers that are coming up next.
Until next time, auf Wiedersehen!
So! So!
See if I can talk and hold a wine glass at the same time.
Okay, I got the wine.
It is a lot more embarrassing to admit this out loud than I thought it was going to be.
And I've also learned that toasting glassens...glassens. - Glassens?

Cody Simpson's Favourite and Possibly The Best Team Swimming Race in History | My Olympic Moment - Duration: 5:13.September 16th, 2000 in Sydney, Australia.
The world had no idea what was in store for them.
The men's 4 x 100m freestyle relay.
Some have called it the best team swim race in history.
I'm Cody Simpson
and this is My Olympic Moment.
(CODY SIMPSON MUSICIAN/SONGWRITER)
I think maybe something that a lot of people didn't know
is that I did swim competitively pretty seriously
before I started to get really busy with my music.
I was Australian champion for butterfly and freestyle
for about four or five years in a row growing up.
Swimming, for me, really embedded
that competitive spirit within me since I was a young boy
and I've really taken that with me
as I've grown up and I now apply that to my music
and that always makes me want to get better
as a songwriter and as a guitar player.
I really was born into the sport.
Both of my parents were Australian champion swimmers
and that's how they met.
So ever since I can remember,
I was kinda destined to be involved in it in some way.
I started competing really, really young,
when I was about nine or ten years old
and loved it ever since my first race.
2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia.
The men's 4 x 100m freestyle relay.
America has always been dominant in this relay,
but Australia had a really good team
that Olympics led by Ian Thorpe.
Could Australia do it and pull off a huge upset?
The buzzer goes off and
everyone's into the water.
USA in lane four.
Australia in lane five.
So Michael Klim gets off to a really, really quick
first leg leading by half a body length.
On the first leg of the relay,
Michael Klim also broke
the individual 100m freestyle record
with a time of 48.18.
Australia really got off to the start that they needed.
The crowd was going nuts.
The whole stadium was going off.
Second swimmer, Chris Fydler,
keeps up the momentum.
And then Ashley Callus dives in
and he's swimming like he's never swum before,
but the American swimmer quickly caught him.
This was terrible. Everyone was wondering now if Australia
was going to lose the race because the Americans
were catching up quick.
Now we have the last Aussie, Ian Thorpe,
and the last American, Gary Hall Jr,
anxiously waiting to get in the water.
Two of the world's best swimmers
waiting for their team-mates.
Ian Thorpe, Australia's anchor,
exploded off the block
and into the water.
Gary Hall Jr was almost instantly
pulling ahead of Ian Thorpe
and it was not looking good for Australia.
In the final 50 meters,
America was still ahead,
but Ian Thorpe was slowly
mowing him down.
Which country would reach the wall first?
During the final stretch, we had anticipation building,
until Ian Thorpe finally came ahead
in the last moments.
And Australia just exploded.
It was incredible.
Australia had just won the Olympic gold.
The Americans, the undefeated champions
of this event, finally lost
and Australia in their home country were able to do it.
Australia had set a new world record at 3.13.6 minutes.
Australia had beaten the Americans by .19 seconds.
It was that close.
To be great at anything,
a serious level of discipline, hard work, determination
and devotion of mind, body and spirit is necessary,
whether it's a sport or an art form like music.
I am humbled day to day by the fact
that I have so many people out across the globe
that are willing to listen to me and the things
that I have to say and the music that I have to give.
That keeps me going on a day-to-day basis.
I can be up on stage in front of a crowd
and inspire other people to go after
what they believe in and what they dream.
I just want to inspire other people to reach new heights.
This is My Olympic Moment.
