Comments

From Jesus Daprice : I love this cartoon. I am also kind of a sports freak,my favorite sport being track and field. I run just about everyday and watching a scene with Goofy running while holding a torch was just cool. It sort of reminded me of my high school days of track and field. I also loved the discuss throw scene.

From Ryan : This is one of my favorite Goofy shorts. I especially enjoy the running segment since I was involved in track back in my junior and senior years of high school. The narrator explains the different types of runners. There is the sprinter (which is what I was back in high school), the distance runner (which is what I should have been), and the walker (which was never involved on my high school track team). Goofy, instead of several different Goofy look-alikes, demonstrates everything in the olympics for the audience. At the end, he lands in several different trophies, which might I add, he absolutely deserved. Goofy really is the "olympic champ."

From Sam : Goofy tries his hand at track and field with the kind of hilarious results one has come to expect from the Goof. I especially liked the scene where he's pole vaulting only to have the narrarator stop him in mid-air to recite a poem. The scenes with Goofy and the torch are great, too. This cartoon certainly gets the gold as far as I'm concerned.

From Baruch Weiss : I like Goofy, and this short was kind of boring, but I did like the music. I like it best with all those Goofy look alikes, but on the other hand if everybody were like everybody else wouldn't it be boring?
