Yes, look into Leni Riefenstahl. She filmed the 1936 Berlin Olympic games. It was a work of art. I'm not much into track and field, but I found it gripping. I previously read a book called "The Boys in the Boat", the story of how a dark horse group of scullers from Washington State qualified for the Olympics and won the gold medal, beating Germany, favored to win. The film has a few minutes of this race and was generous in showing the young men as great athletes and heroes to their nation. I'd also check out other films of Riefenstahl. She was an artist, to say the least.

I tried to use the torrent link you sent me, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
It doesn't matter what I click on, I'm just getting popups and redirects to advertisers.
Is there a particular way I need to go about this?
Also, are any of these films subtitled, or am I going to be learning German to watch them?
