I am actually in this flick for a few seconds. I was a decathlete and friends with a lot of the guys on the track competing including Daley Thompson. I am in the picture when the British guy jumps out with the Union Jack as Daley passes by me....

BTW- Bud Greenspan was incredible...

Back when the Olympics was actually about sport.

I was there for track & field, seeing a US team sweep one of the events, sprint I’m sure.

I was there when a long-distance run involved an African who was lapped badly. Everyone in the stands gave him the wave as he passed and clapped him on and he finally finished.

I was a teenager and don’t recall what days we were there, sorry. Don’t even recall the exact events or day of the week! We also went to Santa Anita for dressage. My dad took my grandfather to boxing.

I can tell you, it was a fantastic event. Everything was perfect. Nothing was a hassle. Ueberroth did a magnificent job. Including this opening ceremonies. We only saw that on TV but they were wonderful.
