Here you see the next Olympic winner ;)

Note that this movie seems to end abruptly, because after the 8 events are completed, the game just repeats the same 8 events with more difficult goals.

Selected notes from author:
There are 3 purposes of this video: 1) To attempt to be 'perfect' in each event at least one time; 2) To show the major consequences of seemingly minor mistakes in play or strategy, e.g. jumping one half step too early (Long Jump), being off by a single degree (Javelin), or missing a bonus (Skeet Shooting); and 3) To show oddities in the game (Javelin, Triple Jump).

Please read the welcome page if you haven't already done so. It explains the rules and methods that apply to all of these movies, particularly the use of savestates and frame advance. Also refer to our Glossary to understand terms we use, such as TAS or other unfamiliar terms.
