Barcelona 1992 memories - best olympics in history???


Recommended Posts

I would like to make some memories from Barcelona 1992 in this thread. I think I have the greatest sentiment for these games. This is when I started watching the games 24/7, and the olympics became my hobby. So - how do you remember these games?

First SOG I was able to watch live all the way (because Seoul was a bad time zone for me as a kid and I remember Wronski and Legien the most) :p

 

Some of my memorable moments from athletics:

 

Nobody pays attention to the winner as Gail Devers blows it. Unlike Lolo Jones 16 years later, Devers still had 100m to make up for the drama.

 

 

Kevin Young's WR.

 

 

And the 800m finals.

    • It’s honestly baffling how bad she was in 2018. Just absolutely lost her head. Real shame too because she is so gifted. I do hope Li Jianrou sends her a Christmas card every year tho, she was absolutely gifted a gold medal by Christie in 2014.
    • Oh I’m not done yet, unfortunately. From the names that could be back but are still injured   Courtney Hoffos Mikael Kingsbury (should be back before the Olympics) Connor Howe (he returned, but nowhere close to his best so his injury is still giving him issues) Connor Bedard Meryeta O’Dine Megan Oldham
    • Italy also has its own list, although of course not every injury is as terribile  in terms of medal losses. In winter sports have unfortunately much more injuries than summer sports. In the summer only: cycling, volleyball and football.     - Brignone: will return in January, - Tabanelli: will return for the Olympics, - Bassino: season over, - Marta Rossetti: season over, - Lara Malsinier: season over.
    • TNT staff expect they will offer it at a price similar to what they offering the Winter Olympics for rather than the full TNT price.   But equally the main coverage is apparently going to be very different to what they do for the Olympics (Which is less pundits and studio chat than the BBC) with speculation it might be based on NBC’s Olympic coverage with tons of human interest etc.     
    • India Sherret (ski cross)   Another name to the ever-growing list of injuries for the Canadian team… used to be excited for the Olympics, now not so much…
    • Voted  Thank you for extending the deadline and allowing me to vote once my exams are over. @OlympicIRL
