"The Olympic exploits of Finland's legendary Paavo Nurmi, all-around track wonder Fanny Blankers-Koen of the Netherlands, runner Emil Zátopek and gymnast Vera Caslavska of Czechoslovakia, and American discus thrower Al Oerter account for 35 Olympic medals- and countless thrills. The accomplishments of these five legendary athletes at the Olympics are nothing short of incredible." Bud Greenspan was the producer, writer, and director of this 1975 film that was included in tape four of the 1996 Centennial Celebration boxed set by Dreamworks.
