Wissenswertes
[Taken from the German Arthaus DVD commentary] The pole vault finals shown in the movie aren't the real ones. The actual finals were held in the evening, and as no fast film (highly sensitive to light) was available at the time, Leni Riefenstahl wanted to have bright spotlights installed. The idea was rejected by the Olympic Committee, as it would hinder the athletes. So Riefenstahl asked the three American and two Japanese finalists to return the next evening, and restaged the action.

Alternative Versionen
There is an Italian edition of this film on DVD, distributed by DNA srl, " HE HOLY MOUNTAIN ("La montagna dell'amore" o "La montagna del destino", 1926) + OLYMPIA 1 & 2 (1936-1938)" (2 Films on a single DVD), re-edited with the contribution of film historian Riccardo Cusin. This version is also available for streaming on some platforms.

As you nicely pointed out the NFL footages that you watch today, and those of Olympia that were shot some 60+ years are the same. Which means that NFL is still using techniques that Leni Riefenstahl explored long time ago, which further means that she's 60+ years ahead of her time. When you denounce something you have to look at it from the historical context. This was groundbreaking at time, and every sport event coverage since borrowed from it. Leni Riefenstahl actually wanted to be catapulted with a camera to give an incredible feel of one of a kind sports event, but this could not be carried out. NFL ought to try some of this innovation that Leni considered long time ago, we're much more technologically advanced now...
