19 years after atomic bombs were dropped in Japan, the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo featured a joint team from both East and West Germany amid Cold War tensions.
Synopsis
In 1964, Tokyo hosted the Olympic Games, a significant event during the Cold War. The International Olympic Committee mandated that both East and West Germany compete as a unified team, despite their ideological divisions. Athletes from both German states faced the challenge of collaboration while still competing against each other to form this joint team. "Die kalten Ringe" presents the story of the East-West German team for the first time, reflecting on the complex relationship between sports and politics in that era.
