This Olympics film, tied in with the planned 1980 games from which the United States subsequently withdrew, focuses on an American athlete whose dreams of winning the Decathlon are threatened by his romance with a pretty Russian gymnast.  Its two stars then were on the verge of major TV and screen recognition, but not soon enough to help this two-part, four-hour romantic youth-oriented drama already made somewhat redundant by this country's withdrawl from competition.  To its team of sound mixers went an Emmy Award nomination.
