Alexi Grewal USA 2. Steve Bauer CAN 3. Dag Otto Lauritzen NOR FR - 1. Alexandr Zinovyev URS 2. Uwe Raab GDR 3. Andrzej Mierzejewski POL Hard to compare.... Any suggestions? Women LA - 1. Connie Carpenter USA 2. Rebecca Twigg USA 3. Sandra Schumacher FRG FR - not contested The races would have been much different tactically. How about this? Men 1 Raab 2 Ludwig 3 Bauer Women 1 Canins 2 Longo 3 Twigg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on the men's race. Actually that reminds me, it was a very flat highway wasn't it? I withdraw the prediction for the women's race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I withdraw the prediction for the women's race yeah, and the fact that Carpenter and Twigg went 1 & 2 is there to confirm that it was basically a sprinters' race. If I remember well, there's also a good segment of that race in the official film of LA '84. (time to have a re-watch, I guess ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafalgorka 1,392 Posted January 7, 2023 Author #38 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Time to finish day 1 in LA (not-boycotted) 1984 games. In cycling I think it could look like that: W race was not contested in Friendship Games (i don't know why, maybe in the 80s women's road cycling wasn't that popular among these NOCs) so i think we can just add our real LA results to our day 1 summary. In M race Grewal & Bauer finished 1 and 2 at the same time, so let's just imagine they could go that way even if there were some GDR and URS riders in the mix as well. I would say bronze medal for Friendships winner Alexandr Zinovyev (who finished with the s.t. as Raab and Mierzejewski there). And that's it, day 1 is done.

rafalgorka 1,392 Posted January 7, 2023 Author #40 Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) From now on, i wlll try to do it day by day, according to LA 1984 schedule. Day 2 events were: Cycling Track - Men's Individual Time Trial (can't understand why this isn't an olympic event anymore, so fun to watch) Shooting - Men's 50m Rifle Prone Swimming - Men's 4x200m Freestyle Relay Swimming - Men's 100m Butterfly Swimming - Men's 400m Individual Medley Swimming - Women's 200m Freestyle Swimming - Women's 200m Breaststroke Weightlifting - Men's 56kg (Bantamweight) EDIT: there was M 400 IM, not M 200 IM on day 2 in LA 1984, my mistake...
