They should trim it back to just all the events they had in the 1976 Olympic Games, that’s plenty.

It may have looked good on tv but since I actually was at the games I found the atmosphere gloomy with the heavy security from the fallout of 72. Also a bunch of the African nations were boycotting because New Zealand’s rugby team had played South Africa. Taiwan was banned from calling itself the Republic of China by the IOC. The Queen looked nice opening the games in pink. One taxi driver I had was surprised how well she spoke French. I think he must have grown up with the idea she was the devil incarnate.
