bmo 180 Posted July 6, 2020 #161 Share Posted July 6, 2020 @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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,490 Posted July 7, 2020 #162 Share Posted July 7, 2020 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. bmo 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

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. https://www.sbnation.com/2016/8/23/12605892/bbc-olympic-review-video-rio-2016 bmo 1 Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

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.

hckošice 13,279 Posted July 7, 2020 #166 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Someone uploaded on youtube this pure jewel of Olympic ice hockey history. Oneofthe most memorable matches of the history. The Torino 2006 vs 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 phelps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
