Captivating competition and even a torch-lighting ceremony: Welcome to the MarbleLympics

Jelle Bakker does not have a job due to his autism, but he works incredibly hard.

The Dutch devotes much of his time and care to making YouTube videos, and the exquisitely-detailed marble runs he creates are as oddly-satisfying as they are entertaining.

His latest series, the MarbleLympics, is no exception.

All the hard work Jelle puts into his videos is warmly appreciated online too, with almost 200,000 YouTube users subscribed to his channel and more than 72 million total views.

The games even had an opening ceremony with its very own torch-lighting.

Jelle says the MarbleLympics videos take up to three full days just to edit, which he does on Final Cut Pro X – and with three videos out in the last week and a month to go, it sounds like he’s still got a lot of work to do.

“The MarbleLympics will end in early August with an ending ceremony,” said Jelle. ” But I will still continue in making great marbles-related videos.”
