In 1952, just 24 years ago, the USSR competed in the Olympic Games for the first time. Russia, as a State, had last appeared at the Games in 1912. In the following six Olympiads the Soviet Union have won over 500 medals.

Alexander Anufriyev, who won a bronze in the 10,000 metres at Helsinki in 1952 was their first athlete to win an Olympic medal, but since then we have seen a glittering avalanche of gold, silver and bronze from such greats as Vladimir Kuts, their middle-distance star, Viktor Saneyev, the best triple-jumper ever, high jumper Valery Brumel, Vladimir Golubnichy, who won two gold, one silver and one bronze in four Olympiads in the 20k Walk, and Valery Borzov, the double sprint champion in Munich, who will again be a favourite in Montreal.

The BBC1 Documentary
A return visit to see how two new countries are making out.

Richard West, author and journalist, goes back to a corner of the Third World to find out how two former colonies - one French, one British - are facing the challenge of independence.

The five million people who live in Senegal and The Gambia are close to each other in race and way of life. Yet the cultural and economic heritage bequeathed them by their former rulers makes the Senegalese a very French African, while his cousin along the banks of the Gambia River remains unmistakably British.

Denis Tuohy and Donald MacCormick talk to interesting people about their lives and experiences and look at the events of the day. With John Pitman, David Lomax, Philip Tibenham, David Jessel, David Taylor, Vincent Hanna, Julian Mounter, Michael Delahaye.
