Didn't Putin say that Lviv is a Polish city anyway not so long ago?  Obviously that was to piss the Ukrainians off but hey, the Curzon B line was very much possible. Stalin hated Ukrainians more than Putin does IMO

at Atlanta games in 1996, when Laura Flessel wins the first gold medal in the history of the sword and the gold medal per teams.

From a German perspective (I only really started following the olympics in 2008):

Matthias Steiner in Beijing or Fabian Hambüchen in Rio

From an international perspective (not sports-related):

Hearing „Running Up That Hill“ at the 2012 olympics closing ceremony

If I did maths well - there is still 229 days to the Tokyo 2020/2021 opening ceremony. And 227 days until the first softball JPN-AUS game in Fukushima.

 

So - the final countdown could be watching again the best olympic moments so far, it could be a quite random order - whatever comes to mind on particular day.

 

I would start with:

#227 - Beijing 2008 - Swimming - W 200m Freestyle Final - FEDE! FEDE! FEDE!

#226 - Beijing 2008 - Gymnastics Artistic - W Floor Final - Sandra Izbasa was simply perfect there! This is legendary for me.

#225 - Rio 2016 - Rowing - M Single Sculls Final - this race was too close to call. Maybe they should have given two gold medals?!
