Criterion is releasing 100 years of Olympic films on Blu-ray. All restored.
A bit pricey at $400. but Barnes & Noble always has a 50% off sale in November.
Still big bucks. For die-hard fans. Too bad the early years aren't sold separately.

I'd like to see this:
Leni Riefenstahl's two-part athletic opus, the lyrical, grandiose Olympia (Berlin 1936), is perhaps the most influential sports film ever made. The controversial German filmmaker employed more than fifty cameramen and shot 1.2 million feet of film—roughly equivalent to the length of 120 features—blending footage of the events with stylized re-creations. Though financed by Germany's Ministry of Propaganda, the film remains a landmark achievement to be reckoned with."
