Flashback to 1984 Olympics with theme music for Finland fotos

Like a favorite rock melody of youth, the John Williams composition “Summon the Heroes” will always be associated in my mind with where I heard it first — as the fanfare for medal ceremonies at the Los Angeles Games in 1984. It has a powerful pull on my heart. So I was delighted to see it used as backdrop for a wonderful slide show of photos from Jyväskylä worlds. Rob Jerome created the 6-minute video, which is heavy on the jumps and special effects. But what a masterful depiction of our stars.

    truly awesome -makes me want to go out and train right after I watched and heard it. Just like what Sylvester Stallone felt (you can look it up) after seeing the movie ‘Voyage of Sinbad’ when he was an impressionable youth. Thanks for posting!!
