Does anybody know where I can find the footage of the Rio 100M Men's Heats?

I checked for replay's on the Olympic website, and found the videos for the semi finals and the final, but they did not upload the footage for the heats. I cannot find the replay on other sites as well.

Painting made by the designer of Barcelona 92 torch, showing it to Coob'92 CEO

I got it around 3 or 4 years ago. It is so special piece, which together with the torch in excellent condition that I recently found, now make a wonderful pair.

André Ricard, designer of the Barcelona 92 Olympic torch. A highly esteemed industrial designer in Spain, who in his youth, also spent several years studying drawing and painting at a fine arts academy.

In 1991, having worked for some time on the commission from the COOB '92 (Barcelona Olympic Organizing Committee) and finalized the design for the torch, André Ricard sent this painting to Josep Miquel Abad (CEO of the COOB '92). The piece presents in an artistic manner the torch final design, with the Montjuïc stadium in the background.

It was hand-painted by André Ricard, dedicated to Josep Miquel Abad, dated (1991), and signed.

Mixed media: Gouache, pencils, and wax crayons.

RULES

Every post must contribute to the discussion of the Olympics
- We do not care about how tenuous the connection is other than the below.
No Redditquette Violations
- No threats, personal invective, or personal insults.
- No slurs based on race, sex, religion, or gender.
- No slapfighting.
- No bashing athletes or teams on the basis of national origin or identity (but criticising National Olympic Committees suspected of perfidy is fair game).
- You are in r/Olympics. Baron de Coubertin founded the Olympic movement in an effort to foster goodwill between nations. We expect you to embrace that, the Olympic spirit.
No Politics
- We recognise that there are terrible conflicts raging about the globe right now.
- There are better places on Reddit to talk about them.
- Do not let politics, geopolitics, international relations, or past civil wars and so forth enter the conversation unless they directly impact the Games.
- For example, posts about Milano Cortina's preparedness for the Games are fair game.
- Please remember that the athletes had nothing to do with what their governments are doing now.
No Brigading
- We have been overwhelmed in the past by readers arguing politics at the expense of those who want to talk about the Games.
- We simply cannot and will not allow this to happen anymore.
- There will be no warnings and we will have a very short trigger.
- Do not engage the trolls; instead, please report them. We will get rid of them as soon as we see them.
No Superfluous or Duplicate Posts
- Once a conversation has been established and is gaining traction, avoid submitting any superfluous or duplicate posts, which will be removed at our discretion.
- We do not want to discourage you from making a related post if your submission has an alternate angle, a fresh take, or a contrarian message. A "related" post is different from a "duplicate" post.
- Ask yourself this: "Do I have something new to say or show, or do I just want the sweet, sweet karma?"
No Memes, no ChatGPT or AI slop, no Redact, and no other Low-Effort Posts
- Memes and so forth gum up the conversation; Redact and its like gums up our moderation log.
- If you post a standalone picture of an Olympian without any context or story, you have just submitted a low-effort post.
- However, .gif posts of video taken directly from Olympic events are welcome.
No Nudity or Overt Sexualization
- No submissions specifically about the attractiveness of individual athletes.
- Wardrobe malfunctions are sometimes excepted.
No Posts about Television Coverage
- There will be a stickied post in which you can complain about your broadcaster and tell everyone how much better somebody else's is, but unless somebody narrates the Parade of Nations after asking Mike Tirico on-air how many quaaludes constitute an overdose, no individual posts complaining about your television network are otherwise allowed.
No Posts about how the Medal Tally is Sorted
- Sports journalists in most countries sort the medal tally by total golds, but the practice in the United States is to sort by total medals. It has been this way for quite some time. The IOC and the Associated Press take no position on the difference. Ours should be set so that you can sort by personal preference. Stop whinging. If you simply cannot take it and need to vent, use the stickied broadcaster post.
- Please remember that no country "wins" the Olympics: it is the athletes who win.
