Wow how much have the Olympics have changed! Not for the better.They showed more events back then not just the glamour events like the divas of women gymnastics.

[@jorgeanguas9220]

One of the last true Olympics, all amateurs (the Eastern European athletes were not in it to get rich).

[@marguskiis7711]

East Europeans were semipros. They still worked for money somewhere but most of the time spent in the sports camps.

So you enjoyed watching amateurs and mediocre performances in what is supposed to be the best sporting event in the world?

[@alainbellemare2168]

epo was not invented yet

[@geneclemetson4779]

HGH and steroids don't aid in aerobic events.

[@marguskiis7711]

HGH and steroids are useless for marathon. Only things which can help are asthma drugs and blood transfusion.

[@leifkunzel6701]

And their training was just more professional too...it's always easy to say they were all doped. Acually when any east german was doped they were all doped that time. All athlets that time were doped.

[@TheSomsom3]

@@DGarcia879 André Gagnon was an extraordinary composer. He was hired by the National Film Board of Canada to provide a soundtrack to that movie. Unfortunately, he had to sell his copyright to the NFB, a federal body that never contemplated the possibility of releasing that soundtrack properly on its own. I contacted Mr. Gagnon's agent many times and all the answers I got was that this soundtrack was government property. So you will never hear it anywhere, but in this movie made for the Montreal Olympics. Such a shame..
