olympics

Sound acquired from the Beijing olympics. The sound is the final few seconds of a race as the US and France battle for the gold medal. Acquired from youtube.

The sound is the sound taken from the start of an olympic race. This sound acts as a call ("take your mark"} and response (the swimmers diving off the blocks at the 'beep'). This sound is important because of the buildup the start has. It is dead silent, then a monotone voice says "take your mark" and the race is on.
