Re: Olympics Memories

My earliest Olympics memories are from the Munich games in 1972, due to the hideous terrorist acts...

The 1984 games are the first I remember, especially as we were on holiday in my Gran's caravan for some of it & had to watch it on a small black & while TV.

Re: Olympics Memories

one bad memory ill take from these rio games was the poor attendance which i did expect as its not really something the general brazilian public are into.

Ticket prices where too high as well.

Tokyo 2020 should be far better attended.


But lots of new nations won medals in rio which was a good thing.
