"2716 years ago, was born an institution known as the Olympic Games". That's where we begin with a narration that illustrates the evolution of successive Olympiads - all helped along by "Goofy" who is clearly having difficulty keeping the flame burning. We start with running - sprinting to marathon running then the rather curious sport that is the "walk" - more of a dance; hurdling (or tripping over them); pole vaulting explains the principles of apexes of vertical lifts and arcs whilst inspiring some Tennyson from John McLeish. High jump; dizzying hammer throwing - don't forget to let go; then finally the decathlon - who'd give "Goofy" a javelin or a discus and not expect chaos? Trophies not medals are awarded here in this quickly paced and quite entertaining look at the stadium events that make up a Olympics. Fortunately, he stays well clear of the pool!
