A brief history of "The Olympics Israel and the Jews" was broadcast on the SBS Yiddish program, focusing on 1936, 1952, 1972 and 2000 games. 

This can be heard at:-  http://www9.sbs.com.au/radio/language.php?news=highlights

Israeli plastic roofing (from Palram) has been used for the main Athens Olympic stadium roof.

Palram has their own representative in Sydney, and they are already marketing several of their other products in Australia.
They can be contacted through the Israel Trade Commission
