The Goalkeeper Who Changed Football

Posted barely a day ago, "Why is she even out there?" is already the busiest thing on David King's channel. It tells the story of Jolien Boumkwo, a Belgian shot putter who lined up for a hurdles race at the 2023 European Athletics Team Championships, and it is moving at a pace none of the week's other uploads can match.

The week opened with a football double. "The Goalkeeper Who Changed Football" is about René Higuita, the Colombian keeper famous for his scorpion kick, and it has passed two million views. Its companion, "The War on Ball Fondlers," follows the 1992 back-pass rule change and the messy indirect free kicks it left inside the penalty box. That one has had a much quieter run. Baseball got a turn too, with "Vengeance," on Chas McCormick, Ty France and a 99mph pitch between the Astros and the Mariners.

The older catalog is doing its part. "Something's Wrong…," the 40-day-old story of Óscar Figueroa's path from a nerve injury in Beijing to weightlifting gold in Rio, is still one of his three liveliest videos. The whole channel is running a little above its usual daily pace. Among football channels of similar size, David King sits third by subscribers, and talkSPORT is the one having a noticeably busy stretch.
