This is produced in VCD format using the Roxio Video Disk Player that is included on the disk. Here you view nine different Olympiads between Tokyo, 1964 and Sydney in 2000, featuring Polish athletes who have brought home the gold medal in their specific events. There is a wide range of action from wresting, sailing, volleyball, shooting, fencing, soccer, boxing, equestrian, pole vault, high jump, triple jump, hammer throw, and the 50K walk action of Robert Korzeniowski. Running events are featured by three performances: The 1964 women’s 4 x 100 meter relay team of Teresa Ciepla, Irena Kirszenstein, Halina Gócegka, and Ewa Klobukowska (who later became the first athlete to fail a sex test, striking their world record mark of 43.6) is shown from several angles and speeds with the focus on the last handoff and finish. The 1968 victory of Irena Szewinska (Kirszenstein) in the 200 meters is shown as she set a world record of 22.58. In 1976, Irena Szewinska competed in the 400 meter sprint and set a world record of 49.28. You will see her entire race on this disc, showing two of the seven races that resulted in medals for Szewinska over the course of her five Olympic games. She is the only athlete to hold world records at each the 100, 200, and 400 meter distances. The last running event is the 1980 Moscow steeplechase victory of Bronislaw Malinowski where it shows the last 200 meters as he pulls away for the win in 8:09.7. This disc was made by Good Summer in Poland and is narrated in Polish with no subtitles.
