NBC filmed the games in 1992, then Bud Greenspan and Cappy Productions, Inc. spent their time delivering them in this 1993 release which was worth the wait. Lee Holdridge provides the music and Nick Michaels narrates this 132 minute film. The track athletes include Derek Redmond who tore a hamstring in the semi-final of the men's 400m race, but finished with the assistance of his father; 10,000 meter runner Khalid Skah who won a gold medal, was disqualified and then reinstated; and Evelyn Ashford who at 35 was the oldest sprinter. Includes footage of the opening and closing ceremonies and previous Olympic Games. This tape has not been released to the public and there is no current source for the tape. You can read more about Derek Redmond at his web site Derek Redmond.com and to see his race I recommend obtaining The Olympiad Series: The Persistent Ones. Lastly, Bill Mallon wrote a review outlining each of the ten stories and it can be read in Adobe Acrobat format (see pages 4 and 5) from the Amateur Athletic Foundation of Los Angeles Library, the only library that maintaines a copy of this tape (they do not loan their collection, although you can view it there).
