Olympic Channel on Youtube

On Youtube the IOC launched 'the officail channel'.

At this moment the channel contains almost 300 video's of olympic highlights from previous games.

These include of course numerous athletic highlights such as

• the two golden medals of Michal Johnson's 200m and 400m in 1996 and;
• Lasse Viren winning the 5.000m and 10.000m in 1972;
• the marathon in Moskou of 1980 were the Dutch Gerard Nijboer finished second behind Cierpinski form the DDR. From 'western' perspective this was somewhat controversial as Nijboer was hindered at the 35k refreshing point. He also missed the water at the 30k refreshing point because Cierpinski whiped all the water from the table.
