The above quote is printed on the back of the container that houses the 8 video tapes that each contain two episodes from the Olympiad Series collection. This collection was distributed in 1996 by Dreamworks SKG Television in cooperation with the United States Olympic Committee. Many of the Olympic tapes that are included in this filmography use footage that is contained within this collection. I highly recommend this collection if you want to view documentary Summer Olympic track and field footage. Although this collection originally retailed for over $100.00, auction sites (such as eBay) often carry this collection for about a quarter of this price. A 31-page booklet was originally distributed with this collection and the entries outline the athlete's achievements. If you choose to order this collection from Amazon.com, make sure you read the description carefully if you are buying used to get the entire 8 tape series. Individual titles may be ordered and learn more about each individual tape below:
