Winter Olympics are really my favorites - fewer events, but love all the skiing and hockey. Lillehammer in 1994 was the very best of all the ones I've seen - and my first was 1956 in Melbourne, Australia

Does anyone else remember Franz Klammer, Innsbruck 1976 - or Lake Placid 1980, Miracle on Ice?


Bill Johnson, So Cal boy wins a medal.

I remember the Mex City protest, the 72 games and the end of the basketball game.

The first woman's marathon, Mary Slaney and Zola Budd! Dan and Dave? The premier of short track skating.

The Nagano games and the U.S. hockey team tearing up the rooms, The premature celebration at the end of the snowboarding race.

I saw the SLC Flame when it came thru El Lay, and the Atlanta and L.A. torch runs too.

I love the Olympics and think that they should ban all corporate BS and make the games true amateur comps like before....
