This is sad to see: Kenny Moore 1972 4th place Marathon, 14th in 1968 age 78. Among other things: "Moore spent several years working to try to free Ethiopian marathoner Mamo Wolde, the 1968 Olympic champion (and 3rd in 1972 to Moore's 4th). Wolde had been arrested by Ethiopian authorities who felt he participated in an assassination attempt against the country’s dictator. Moore and the IOC petitioned for his release, which occurred, but only after he had spent six years in prison." Kenny Moore Obituary - Olympian and Writer Dies at 78 (runnersworld.com)

If the IOC is serious about a two country rule, a Netherlands-Belgium joint Games would be nice to see.

Yes and Yes if they beat Portugal next Tuesday.

It’s one of those sports that when it missed out on Olympic full-medal status in 1994, it effectively ended the sport. There was a US sports columnist in the early 1990s who is now on ESPN who derided the sport as “ski-dancing.”

For winter, alpine skiing and biathlon. I hope Mikaela can right things. Then for summer, world championships in aquatics, athletics, and gymnastics for each of the next two years and women's basketball this year. Also, rowing, to see if US women can come back.

Congrats! Are people out celebrating in the streets?

It was definitely West Coast only. We got our NBC local (Wash. DC) news at 11:00 to 11:35. When I finally saw the race on NBC, they were about 1 hr, behind the finish.

Couldn’t agree more. I think Figure Skating was the only sport where everything was shown live on cable or NBC.

While US TV viewers didn’t see it (except maybe West Coast).
