Curiosidades
Maricica Puica boast in the documentary that if she had fallen down and injured herself during the 3000 meter race, as Mary Decker did, she would have gotten back up and finished the race. Ironically, four years later, at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Maricica Puica abandoned her 3000 meter race, 200 meters from the finish, due to injury.

Citas
Narrator: For many years preceding the Los Angeles games, the world press had reported that the Coe/Ovett rivalry had been unfriendly. This was denied by both men. Ovett attempted to clarify the situation. Said Ovett - We are not the best of friends, nor are we enemies, rather, we are rivals.

Worth Every Minute

I just finished watching this documentary by Bud Greenspan. It was worth every minute of the almost 5 hours of film (4:42). It covers athletes from all over the world (well, it's the Olympics)... their challenges, victories, defeats... and no political commentary. The final 10 minutes with Placido singing "Hymn to the Nations" along with the coverage of the closing ceremonies... absolutely inspirational. (Minus 1 star for the monotone almost robotic voice of the narrator.)
