Best moment in Olympic history by far -- U.S. vs. USSR winning 4-3 in 1980. Truly the most memorable moment for many of us, but as I said in my previous post on this thread . . . as far as I'm concerned, Heiden's five gold medals at the 1980 Winter Olympics ought to go down as the single greatest accomplishment in Olympic history.

Wasn't Mark Spitz medal accomplishments in Mexico worth a mention?

7 gold medals in one Olympics hardly chopped liver!

To me, the greatest Olympic accomplishment ever was the Japanese gymnast who nailed his landing...despite having a broken leg.
That's what the Olympics is all about.
