Synopsis by Elizabeth Smith

Actor Charlton Heston narrates this look back at 20 years of exciting moments from the Olympics. Clips capture the young Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci as she gracefully scores a perfect ten in one competition. Decathlon champion Bruce Jenner talks about his Olympic experiences while Olympic footage replays some of his most triumphant moments. Track and field giant Bob Hayes, who later went on to play for the Dallas Cowboys football team, can be seen running amazingly fast. Peggy Fleming is shown skating her way to a 1968 gold medal. Interviews with these athletes help recall the special aspects of competing in each of the covered years.
