Brentwood Home Video released this tape on June 24, 1996. On the back of the box it states: "Relive the last 100 years of "going for the gold" starting with James Connolly of the USA, through events leading up to Atlanta ’96. Not only are thrilling moments captured but also some strange occurrences during the games!" Although the box states the length is 45 minutes, the run time is closer to 33 minutes. Taking just a few minutes on each modern Olympic competition, you will see moving images starting in Stockholm in 1912 and ending in Montreal in 1976. Still images are shown for the earlier games as well as from Moscow to Barcelona. Some of the featured athletes include: Jim Thorpe, Jesse Owens, Bruce Jenner, Paavo Nurmi, Lasse Viren, Frank Shorter, Bill Toomey, Emil Zátopek, Wilma Rudolph, Rafer Johnson, Peter Snell, Wyomia Tyus, Herb Elliot, Fanny Blankers-Koen, and Bob Mathias. This video is still available new from Amazon.com.
