All I usually want to see at the summer Olympics are the 4x relays. But I happened to notice mention of a fantastic finish in the Women's Rugby bronze medal game between Australia and the USA, and it was amazing.

 

Take the "Immaculate Reception", mixing in some "Fumble in the Jungle", and then adding just a dash of Earl Campbell.

 

USA was trailing with under 10 seconds to play, and had the ball about 2 yards from their own end zone (not sure what they call it in rugby). Once the clock hits :00, the game ends at the next stoppage or the next time the ball is down. #8 is Alex "Spiff" Sedrick, and she was the last hope when she got the ball with :08 left.

 

Not sure how to reference a video on YouTube, but if you search for these 2 titles, you'll get the final moments in the first one and a super-slo mo in the second one:

Definitely worth the watch, IMO.

I thought I tried that, but I got a message saying something like YouTube doesn't allow it. I must've been doing something wrong. I'll try to add the links again. Thanks for the help.

 

EDIT: I was only able to add the links. When I simply pasted the URL, the pop-up said, "The link could not be embedded because YT does not allow embedding of that video." At least now they're more accessible. Thanks again.

It depends on the if the person who created the video allows for embedding or not. Not all videos on YouTube allow it.
