My all-time Olympic moment is still Franz Klammer in the 1976 Winter Olympics downhill.

My all-time Olympic moment was a hockey game in the mountain village of Lake Placid, New York in February 22, 1980. :-)

That was a great run no doubt about it. I have two favorite Olympic memories. One was Shun Fujimoto dismounting the rings with a broken knee to win the Gold for Japan. The second was the ice dancing performance by Torvill and Dean when they got perfect scores while skating to Bolero.

Yep, best downhill run ever, before they marked the course with blue paint like they do now.
