They had Olympics back in the ‘60’s? Cool. So that’s probably when they started, right?
They had the Olympics in Greece as early as over 700 B.C. in a place called OLYMPIA.
The first time we had LIVE coverage of the Olympics was 1968 from Mexico City.
Quite a big deal at the time. My boss even let me change (and extend) my lunch hour so I could watch the afternoon segments.
