My First Olympic Memory

Vasily Alexeev in 1972 won the gold by lifting a whole bunch more (35kg) than the silver medalist...this is my first Olympic memory. What's yours?

I remember seeing Wilma Rudolph
run and Carl Lewis but don't know
what year we would be talking
about. I've watched the olympics
for years and of course remember
Mark Spitz with all his swimming
medals but that wasn't that many'
years ago. Thanks for putting the
count on your blog. That way I
don't have to check the papers.
Do think China will have the most
but it really doesn't matter to
me which country wins the most.
Enjoy watching it more than I do
the winter olympics. If the mens
basketball team gets beat, it wouldn't hurt my feeling alot. Also
would like to see the womens gym
gals at least get a bronze.

I think Spitz was in 72 which is 36 years ago or 9 games ago...I think that is a long time. This was the year of the hostage deal in Munich...do you remember that? I barely can.
