Complete Film - The Official Calgary 1988 Winter Olympic Film | Olympic History 

My hometown hosted these Olympics , I was at the opening ceremonies in my mom’s arms as I was only 10 months old.

1:36:19 to 2:33:00 - Whats up with the audio? Have to give a thumbs down because of poor editing. Ruined my viewing.

Re: the style of the narration. Up until the mid-90s, at least, voice over styles for events/documents such as this were still very much in the Modernist sensibility: sober, almost uninflected, lacking any 'subjective' emotion. It was, I surmise, meant to evoke the sensibility of the 'noble' and that the narrator was not imposing his or her emotional responses onto anything being experienced by the viewer. There was so be no seductive coercion, only 'neutral' depiction. Another good example is NASA's 'Moonwalk One' from 1970; the narration is cool, mystical, distanced - and is accompanied by music which, though in vogue at the time, seems by today's tastes, 'avant-garde' and 'weird' (i.e.: no 'heroic' Baroque trumpets, no overtly Romanticized melodic progressions). Olympic films such as this were treated as records, archives - not sportscasts, and so they demanded a far different delivery of commentary. The viewer today may not care for such a style, but should be aware that that's what it was - a style - as today's over articulated and juiced up commentary, often laced with irony, is also a style indicative of the sensibility of its time. It wouldn't be too presumptuous to assume that the narration of documents such as this produced today in 2018 will seem, in thirty years, 'dated' and questionable as to their aesthetic motivation.

I was in High school that year grade 10, i regret not voluntering for my Calgary games....

excellent love history love to watch Olympic Games and sport thank you

I love the narrator!

the audio is out of place after mens figure skating

Bud Greenspan sighting at 1:11:52. He made this film.

Can you add a Film on The SLC 2002 games? I considered those the best winter games

Nakiska is awesome

Corrupt judging system and rigid school figures deprived Midori Ito of her well-deserved medals.

Useless consider 1/2 way thru the audio is incorrect...too bad.

Games of the cool runnings bobsled Team and eddy the eagle

who won the 1988 Olympics? what country

After the first hour the video repeats but the audio continues. The audio was about bobsledding but the video was about speed skating again.

I'll never forget as a 7 year old kid being on the side of the road with my Dad watching the Olympic torch come through my town on it's way to Calgary.

Hard to believe it's the 30th Anniversary today. Time flies. Great memories and great legacies from those games. Calgary hosting again in 2026 would be cool!

I witnessed the entire event -- we put on a most heartfelt show for the world...

the narrator of this sounds like he´s gonna say "and then they ALL died!" at any moment. spooky!

Where's Eddie the Eagle

I was 8 years old during these Olympics and I remember them

I came here for two reasons - the Jamaican bobsled team and Eddie the eagle. Judging by the comments looks like I'm going to be disappointed. :/ Weird as they're probably the two most talked about and remembered competitors of that years games.

Second "Official Olympic" video where the audio track is off. Really?

Thank you for sharing the video~ It reminds me of my childhood!

Last time the that Soviet Union was in the 1988 Winter Olympic games.
