All British sports commentators have very high-pitched voices

Does anyone have an upload of this that's in anywhere near watchable quality? What the heck is with the video uploads of this race, all in total potato quality. This was broadcast in 2004, it should at least be available in HD somewhere.

Its very difficult to get the HD footage of Athens as when broadcast on TV, basically the official olympics coverage was put online in 2004 in SD and hasnt been replaced since. We put in a request to get the HD footage of the mens relay final for the video on my channel but the Olympics media body didnt respond, so we only used partial DVD footage in HQ where possible. Maybe one day they'll release the original broadcast.
