This spectacular, comprehensive record of the first Summer Games to be held in South Korea offers a feast for the eyes, notably in the Opening Ceremony (the last to take place during the day), which is recorded by aerial cameras and close-ups in the stadium. Lee underlines the significance of hosting the Games for his compatriots, showing spectators at the many venues and in the streets and temples of the metropolis. The film includes coverage of minor sports that are revered in South Korea: archery, table tennis, weight-lifting and shooting. Ben Johnson, the Canadian sprinter, is seen at Incheon airport, leaving Seoul in disgrace after failing his drugs test for the 100 metres.

The illustrious Spanish director, Carlos Saura, created a structure for this documentary as unconventional as the buildings of Gaudí that adorn the host city of Barcelona. Coverage of the men's Marathon appears at intervals throughout the narrative, thus enshrining the Games' most emblematic event. All the charismatic winners are on view, from 400m champion Michael Johnson to weightlifter Ivan Ivanov, but Saura observes the rigorous training routines with as much passion as the finals themselves. Composers like Ryuichi Sakamato, Mikis Theodorakis, and Angelo Badalamenti contribute to the changing moods of this excellent film.

The final athlete to lift the Olympic flame and light the huge cauldron in Atlanta was heavyweight boxing legend, Muhammad Ali. Director Bud Greenspan again relies on detailed studies of individual athletes, and this film features conversations with sprinter Michael Johnson, British rowing ace Steven Redgrave, veteran French cyclist Jeannie Longo, and Ireland's controversial gold medallist in swimming, Michelle Smith. Archery, weight-lifting and gymnastics are also featured, as well as the men's marathon, won by South African Josia Thugwane. These centennial Summer Games marked the fourth occasion on which a U.S. City hosted the Olympiad

Entitled “Sydney 2000: Stories of Olympic Glory,” Bud Greenspan's film concentrates on a handful of key athletes – local star Cathy Freeman, who surged to victory in the 400 metres; Leontien van Moorsel, the Dutch cyclist who overcame anorexia to win two gold medals; and Chris Huffins, the American who achieved bronze in the decathlon after combating diabetes. Both equestrianism and baseball are given due attention, while the triumph of local swimmer Ian Thorpe over Gary Hall at the finish of the 4 x 100m relay underlines the importance of crowd support at the Olympics. Greenspan's commentary reminds us that Australia is one of just four nations that have competed in every Olympiad.

Many felt that economic conditions in Greece would derail the Athens Olympiad. But the dignified Opening Ceremony, full of grace and historical references, put paid to such fears. The shot put events took place at Olympia, and all gold medallists received an olive crown. Local heroes like Pyrvos Dimas, the medal-winning weight-lifter, are featured in Greenspan's documentary. Some often overlooked sports are given prominence: fencing, softball, and cycling, for example. Hicham El Guerrouji is shown finally winning the gold medal he so richly deserved in the 1,500 metres after being knocked over in Atlanta 1996, and beaten on the line in Sydney 2000.
