My father took me one day and I hate to say I was bored stiff. The day we went was heats for the 100 yards and that meant a long, long wait and then a 10 second race. I was eight and didn't have much patience. - @Thursday, May 24, 2018 7:09 AM

The quality in this footage bearing in mind its 1948 is incredible. Why are so many films in the 50s so awful in clarity when the technology was there in the 40s ? - @Saturday, July 22, 2017 11:14 PM

At 27:51"...vaulting with a wet and slippery pole could be a tricky and even a dangerous business..." How 'bout landing on sand?!?! Athletes are so pampered today. Wow! what great footage! And the innocence and humbleness of the athletes then is refreshing to see. Usain Bolt is a great sprinter. But I can do without all the self embellishments. - @Wednesday, July 19, 2017 5:54 PM

"Dominion of Canada". Man, it can be so jarring hearing the difference between what things are called now and what they used to be called. - @Friday, March 24, 2017 11:42 PM

Amazing how they actually march into the stadium back then in step. Nowadays they just walk in all disorganized. Also amazing how everyone managed to compete together peacefully only 3 years after the most destructive war in world history. Yet sad how the entire South African team is all white. - @Friday, February 17, 2017 1:39 PM

A lot of the track events took place in wet, slippery conditions, that would not be permitted nowadays. The pole vault was particularly treacherous. I also noticed the diving was very primitive. No one had discovered how to make a "rip entry". - @Saturday, October 8, 2016 4:29 PM
