Wow! What an exiting finish!
it would be so cool to lead that pack for even a few seconds.

Is there a chance there's a video of the 4 x 400 meter men's relay final?

I love the guy on the scooter with the blackboard hanging from his back. Fully dressed in a suit. Classic!

or maybe Prosciutto? 
Cool clip. Almost makes up for us not taking in the Olympic Stadium on our visit last September. I think I recognize a couple of the streets, but 50 years is a long time, and I can't say for sure.

Much cooler than most of what I see on the History Channel.
So when did the switch to downtube bottle cages take place? And most of the handlebar cages I see nowadays are tipped parallel to the headtube. The guys in the video seem to have them tipped forward. Just an observation.
