Synopsis

The work opens with an extended overture that references the ancient Greek origins of the Olympic Games. It then presents twenty‑one athletic events in its first half, forming the initial portion of a two‑part tribute to the human body and spirit, and concludes with the marathon, during which Jesse Owens became the first track and field athlete to win four gold medals at a single Olympic Games.

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 71+ credited

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
