I agree, but it's worth mentioning something more about that games. For Polish fans most memorable event from Montreal is of course winning final of men's volleybal against USSR. But there is also last olympic medal of our not only athletics but all-sport legend Irena Kirszenstein-Szewinska. She got gold in 400m and it's our only medal in this distance to this day (in men's 400m we have one bronze). In Montreal we got first medal in modern pentathlon (Janusz Pyciak-Peciak) and first gold in wrestling (Kazimierz Lipien). Sadly we also got last gold in boxing (Jerzy Rybicki) - the discipline which give us most medals of all events except athletics. For me worth mentioning is also bronze of our men's handball team - our only olympic medal in handball. Also what a great time when losing in olympic football final was consider as failure
Unfortunately I'm too young to remember that Olympics so for me the best are Atlanta and Sydney. Of course in 1996 we had more medals and more gold medals than in 2000 but I'm a little sentimental about Sydney. First of all I always was big fan of Robert Korzeniowski (my avatar) and he won two golds in Sydney (in Atlanta one). I will never forget a TV interview with him during which he heard statement about disqualification of Mexican Segura (who finished first at 20km walk) for running. We had four golds in athletics which never happened before or after - two more in hammer throws. It was begin of Polish era in hammer (not domination yet but still). Second gold of Renata Mauer in shooting (rifle), first of Robert Sycz and Tomasz Kucharski in rowing (LM2x) which they defened in Athens. For me is also first time I was watching canoe slalom and field hockey (we had a team at the olympics in that time!) and I love both of them.
Winter is of course Sochi, as Monzanator wrote. I'll just add that at WOG we have seven gold medals in our history and four of them are from Sochi. That is... well, I can't find the right word
