The Golden Moment -- An Olympic Love... (1980)

Starring: Stephanie Zimbalist, David Keith, Richard Lawson

This Olympics film, tied in with the planned 1980 games from which the United States subsequently withdrew, focuses on an American athlete (David Keith) whose dreams of winning the Decathlon are threatened by his romance with a pretty Russian gymnast (Stephanie Zimbalist). 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 withdrawal from competition. To its team of sound mixers went an Emmy Award nomination.
