Over 9000 athletes representing 169 countries attended the XXVth Olympic Games in Barcelona. There were a total of 26 sports and the total number of medal events was a record 259. There were 3 demonstration sports: pelota basque, taekwondo and rink hockey and both baseball and badminton were added to the Olympic program. This 2 hour Official Film tells the story of the Games. On the track Britain’s Linford Christie beat a high-quality field to become, by 4 years, the oldest man to win the Olympic 100m title. In the women’s track events American Gail Devers won the closest 100m final race in Olympic history, beating Jamiaca’s Juliet Cuthbert by one-hundredth of a second. Hassiba Boulmerka of Algeria was transformed overnight, not only into a national hero, when she won the 1500m track event.
