If I remember right, this song was nominated to be the official theme song of the Summer Olympics of... I'm gonna guess... 1984. However, it lost out to a Whitney Houston song, what was the name? I think it was <i>One Moment in Time</i>.

Well, I see 1984 was the right year for <i>Runner</i>. However, apparently the Houston song was in play during the 1988 Olympics, so there was no possible competition between the two for any Olympic music spot. Except in my own (admittedly faulty) memory.
