This widescreen two DVD presentation, released by by Madacy Home Video, is accompanied by a bonus music CD that features 33 National Anthems that were performed by The Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra. Disc One is entitled "The Olympic Spirit/Beginnings" and is broken down into sections on ideals, celebrations, heroes, and pride. You will see many great performances as it relates to the history of the Olympics from such athletes as Paavo Nurmi, Eddie Tolen, Jim Thorpe, Derek Redmond, Abebe Bikila, Rafer Johnson, Jesse Owens, Emil Zátopek, and Kathy Freeman. The second disc is entitled "Power" and includes sections called progress, greed, and also includes an epilogue and credits. The runners who appear to help illustrate the main points include Archie Williams, Horace Ashenfelter, Harold Abrahams, Maurice Greene, Babe Didricksen, Fanny Blankers-Koen, Joan Benoit, Ben Johnson, and Thomas Hicks. Both discs end with a 25 question multiple choice trivia quiz, and plan on sitting still for a bit to watch this one as the menu skips forward by section rather than athletic topic.
