There was the additional problem of getting the film to New York City. A French-made Gazelle helicopter and two Yugoslav pilots sped the film from the slopes where the skiing events were held to the Sarajevo airport, 20 miles away.

One day the airport was closed, so Frey and TIME's Yugoslav driver, Jovan Vučkoviċ, set off on a hair-raising ride over winding, snow-covered mountain roads to Mostar, 84 miles away, where the Learjet...

...prepackaged features, put together in the name of world brotherhood, were embarrassing: John Denver crooned a mawkish ballad at a mass grave for 11,000 victims of the Nazis; and McKay, Frank Gifford and Bob Beattie mugged their way through a mock-boozy time-out in a Yugoslav...
