I remember the Olympics in Munich,for all the good memories i have of Shane Gould i have very bad memories of terrorism destroying what was meant to be sport and then having the idiot in charge of the IOC Avery Brundage trying to minimize the unspeakable harm it did by not cancelling the event.
I was in Europe at the time and the effect it had there was massive

Yes, sorry champion @jadtiger - I was not intentionally being flippant about the tragedy that happened then.

(The Munich massacre was a terrorist attack carried out during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany, by eight members of the Palestinian militant organization Black September, who infiltrated the Olympic Village, killed two members of the Israeli Olympic team, and took nine others hostage.)

I just liked the somplicity of the times, Rex being readied for the interview and a very nervous Shane Gould outside her comfort zone.
 
Gee, all those blokes would be 60-70 years old and not saying that is all that old in this day and age, but it is a bit unusual that all eleven of them are still alive.

I would fall into the upper end of that age group and people all around me around that age are dropping off the perch or look like they are about to.
