  • For Britain to make such a moving tribute to The Olympics, Atlanta, GA, and the best of the US Olympians of all time, really says something special about thier country. Props to Great Britain and the BBC.

  • We know that Captain Obvious.

    There's a saying "you can be too close to the problem" and I'm afraid you are and to be honest an outsider looking in is more likely to give an unbias opinion than someone in the thick of it and involved with it.

    And further to that, it is tradiition for the IOC chief to say at the closing ceremony of the games to say its was the best ever games. It was notable he never said that at Atlanta.

  • Great intro to what were the worst Olympics of the last 25 years. Sorry Atlantans but it was a poor one, compared to Barcelona, Sydney, Athens, Beijing.

  • I know that people in Britain and Europe in general rearrange their schedule for the World Cup, do they do it for Olympics too?

    I guess we MIGHT in US but I can't remember a time when they were not shown in prime time.

  • You're from Alabama? I could have guessed.

  • yes, i agree the original is still a great piece!

    was the bbc's version released to the public at the time?

  • Yes, because the BBC actually used to put a bit of effort into their coverage in the 90s, they remixed the original tune and put a beat behind it. The original tune - "Tara's Theme" - is still a great piece though.

  • where can i get a copy of this version of the song? i have tried typing in 'gone with the wind theme' but it doesn't sound as good as this version! was it released at the time?
