Three of the most prominent track athletes in this production 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 maintains a copy of this tape (view it there as they do not loan their collection).
