James Coburn introduces this selection of the most exciting events of the XII Winter Olympic Games with a wealth of personal background knowledge and a dry sense of humour. The actor, himself an accomplished snow athlete, has a rare gift for conveying the exhilaration - and terror - involved in hurtling downhill at 75 mph, or flying off the end of a ski-jump so that even the least sports-minded viewer shares the thrills, skill and immense courage of the Olympic heroes.

(First showing on British television. Postponed from 3 January)
