So, did you?  

Of course not.

The stories became longer, repetitive and painfully predictable by day two. Quit on day three if my memory serves me.

what a great book this is!

 

got it few days ago, my German is rather weak, so I need a lot of help from Google Translate, and it takes so much time, but it's worth reading really!

 

Strongly recommend it

Hey, olympic freaks.

 

For many years I have been collecting my own small olympic library. 

Hey,

 

A bit late to the show here my mini-collection, I have also Albertville 92, Lillehammer 94, Sochi 14 and Rio 16 from the missing ones in the picture

 

 

 

when I was younger (dumber and less handsome than now ) I was collecting for some reason also the FIFA World Cup books...seriously, no idea why I was doing that

Well, I don't like this document. This is not what I was looking for.

 

I liked that book because it is about Munich 1972 Games AS A WHOLE.

We usually remember only about terror, and IT HAS TO BE REMEMBERED FOREVER, but apart from that there are many interesting stories about those Games and some of them are well-mentioned in this book.

Did you see the official film on the 1972 olympics?
