Fortunately I saw the race live, but living in Australia too, I had the same problem trying to rewatch it. They only archived selected sessions of athletics on 7plus instead of all of them which was stupid.

[@AutPen38]

I don't think your local broadcaster "never bothered". They just have a limited licence and the IOC forbids them to keep repeating the footage with the localised commentary. It's really annoying, because here in the UK the BBC commentary is usually what makes the race so memorable. This clip just isn't the same without Steve Cram's commentary, but the BBC would have had to pay a fortune to keep broadcasting it in perpetuity.
