@OlympicsFan I know for certain that a London 2012 & Beijing 2008 film exists. They have been shown multiple times on the U.S. version of the Olympic Channel. I don’t think a Rio 2016 film has been made, but I have stumbled across this behind the scenes documentary multiple times on YT. It is quite enjoyable & gives a good in depth look at certain venue setups, drones, cameras, graphics & the IBC.

Rio 2016 film is called “Viva” (I believe), and it is available on the Olympic Channel (I believe). It might only be a documentary about the ceremonies though.

Thanks, funnily enough I found the same video yesterday while searching for longer videos about the olympics. I also found this short video review of the 2016 olympics by the BBC.

Thanks, but this isn’t what I was looking for. I saw that there are DVD‘s available on Amazon by the BBC about the London Olympics (900 minutes) and the Rio Olympics (565 minutes) for less than 10 € each, sounds like a good option.

Someone uploaded on youtube this pure jewel of Olympic ice hockey history. Oneofthe most memorable matches of the history.

 

The Torino 2006 :RUS vs :SVK  game with the unforgettable gala exhibition á la Marián Gáborík and his 2 unanswered turnover super goals in the last 4 minutes.

 

I suggest you to rewatch the incredible last 4 minutes

I just did some more „research“ and I found something that seems to be the official Olympic film for Rio, it is called „Days of Truce“ and has a playing time of 1:27:54.

The other official films are also on the Olympic channel, here are their titles:

Beijing 2008 - The Everlasting Flame

London 2012 - First

Sochi 2014 - Rings of the World

PyeongChang 2018 - Crossing Beyond
I am currently suffering from „olympics withdrawal syndrome“, those films should help for a day or two. There is also a documentary series called „Road to Glory“ on the Olympic channel that looks interesting.

Just noticed this on the Olympic Channel: https://www.olympicchannel.com/en/events/detail/great-olympic-moments/ 

 

It seems they wish to celebrate the original Tokyo 2020 dates as well :d

I recently found the BBC animated promo for Vancouver 2010, and I absolutely love it!
