vinipereira 3,047 Posted March 22, 2016 #22 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Most of the Olympic movies are very "by the book", but I just watched on TV the Barcelona 1992 film and I like it very much, especially because of its "unconventional" style. Certainly one of my favourites now. Brazilian channel SporTV also has an interesting show called "Classic" in which they're showing full replays of past Olympics events. After the 1992 movie, they had the Basketball final between USA and Croatia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,179 Posted April 20, 2016 Author #27 Share Posted April 20, 2016 To keep the thread alive, here is a video from Athens 2004. With some very lively commentary. And a lively performance. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckošice 13,217 Posted April 20, 2016 #28 Share Posted April 20, 2016 ...1968 the year of the start of the so-called "inter-comunist cold hockey war"... There is absolutely no doubt that the most emotionally charged games in the history of international hockey were the matches between Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union at 1969 IIHF World Championship in Stockholm. These were the games which the Czechoslovaks simply could not lose. but in fact everything started 1 year ago, in this famous match in Grenoble... already at that time it was felt something wrong and manacing in the air... “We said to ourselves, even if we have to die on the ice, we have to beat them,” said team captain Jozef Golonka in an interview many years later. “We received hundreds of telegrams from fans back home. Almost all of them said: ‘Beat the Soviets. You don’t have to beat anyone else. Just beat the Soviets.’” btw Golonka is the man at 2:31, knocking with his stick on the ice, and singing something not publishable. one of the most provocative moment in sport history but at those times extremely sweet...thanks god those times disappeared forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
