West Sands (The "Chariots of Fire" Beach)

St Andrews A. I.-Generated Article: According to web search results, the famous slow-motion beach run from Chariots of Fire on the West Sands in St Andrews was filmed exactly 40 years ago on April 24 1980. Featuring a parade of young men jogging through sand and surf, the sequence has made composer Vangelis’ piano-and-synth piece almost synonymous with the act of running. The original scene was shot on April 24 1980 but sand got in the camera and scratched the negative right the way through. Film crews would return to St Andrews to shoot the sequence again a week later.
