rafalgorka 1,401 Posted November 28, 2020 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2020 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?

Monzanator 3,638 Posted November 28, 2020 #7 Share Posted November 28, 2020 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) 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. rafalgorka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
