I watched this when it was first on TV back in 1984. I had fond memories of it so I did a quick search and found it on YouTube. My wife and I watched it to see if it holds up and it did. It's quite entertaining. There's a lot of embellishment to make it more entertaining, but it's in good fun. If you like history, track and field sports, and have a sense of humor, this is well worth watching. You'll definitely spend some time looking up the real history after you watch which is always a good thing.
