When it came to Olympics, there will NEVER be anyone to top ABC and Jim McKay in terms of the art, inspiration, and human emotion and drama. McKay WAS the Olympics for many, many years. (Sorry, Costas and co. with NBC doesn't come close this. They are technical and information they're good but so BORING in comparison). This montage of video and Ode to Joy is superb, the BEST ever! And who can forget those Olympics with "Eddie the Eagle " !

Damn this brings back memories. ABC knew how to capture the majesty of the Olympics better then anyone especially NBC. I love how they would always play Ode to Joy when they finished their coverage of the Games.

Think that everybody does!

Without a doubt ABC knew how to end an Olympics much better than NBC. Tonight we got nothing even similar to this from NBC. Thanks for the post.

At the end of this clip, the original olympic theme is played, not the re-done version. Does anyone know where I can get the rest of it? ( I don't like the new one now). I think this version was from the 1972 summer olympics and ABC used it up until after the 88' olympics.
