No Olympics would be complete without a viewing of Chariots Of Fire.
While it takes liberties with the historical facts, it does so for reasons of dramatic tension, not to radically misrepresent the character of those whose story it tells.
The Olympics themselves seem obsessed with creating and feeding their self-narrative as an entity.
Chariots Of Fire focusses on the spirits of the athletes, not on the ambitions of the administrators.
