  1. Have just really got into the olympics this time. probably since I am signed off work due to a car crash and I am loving every second of it. Go Team GB. 40 by the way


  2. i was 8 years old ! 2000 sydney olympics, awesome times ..  

  3. There are two reasons for my answer. Where was I and how much coverage was there? I remember ABC covering them and I think the first I watched were in Tokyo in 1964 or in Mexico City in 1968. They were held in Oct. then. I was in my 20's.


  4. 17 years old lol....this year!

    i know its a shame....but i love to watch it now

    but hey what can i say....i was to busyy being a kid back then=]

  5. 1972 Munich I can vaguely remember but it was overshadowed by other events.  

  6. First Olympic games I remember were the Mexico games in 68. I remember the black athletes holding there fists in the air but did not realise what it meant as a 10 year old white kid born in England.

    The first games I actually sat and watched properly were the next at Munich.

    Three events stand out for me, Olga Korbut(USSR) winning gold at the gymnastics, Valerie Borzof winning the 100 & 200 metres sprint(USSR) and Mark Spitz getting those 7 golds with 7 world records.

    I had hoped that Michael Phelps would not beat Spitz's record but also realised that the record had to go sometime and 36 years is a record in itself.

    Spitz is still a hero as Phelps will be to todays swim fans, even in 30+ years.

    Can't remember the first Winter Olympics, but one name stands out to me and that is Franz Klammer the downhill skier.
