Reality TV : Olympics documentary from 1976 called The Olympiad

Olympics documentary from 1976 called The Olympiad

Sorry I know this is off topic for this board and I typically don't like broad posting off topic subjects like this but I haven't had any luck in other boards here.


I just found a write up of it in an old sports illustrated from April of 1976! But this is not listed on IMDB anywhere as far as I can find:

Here's part of the article and a link!

Please please someone help me find this it was awesome!

In May, thanks to a $200,000 grant from E.F. Hutton & Company, Inc., PBS will show the first one-hour program in a 10-part series called The Olympiad. Written, produced and directed by Bud Greenspan, an independent maker of TV documentaries who always has to struggle to get air time for his shows, The Olympiad is a haunting look at people in search of excellence. The reviews of this series are going to be so good that they will embarrass network executives who have consistently rejected Greenspan's programs.


Please note this is a series about the history of the olympics up to that point. Several people have directed me to various documentaries of individual olympiads but this in not any of them, it was very lengthy and covered many different sports from many different games.

Thanks in advance for any and all help on this.
