Greatest Olympic Moment.

What is your favorite memory.The most amazing race I ever saw was the 200 Breaststroke in the 1968 Olympics. The only gold medal won by a Mexican at the Games Was by Felipe Munoz. Every time he breathed the crowd screamed MEXICO, I have never experienced such passion for a swimming event,(I only saw it on T.V. I can't imagine what it was like in person.)

    I have never understood how that guy qualified for the Olympics. They let that guy from Africa swim as an honor. ( I guess ) Seeing how he swam 50 meters in about 40 seconds I don't believe anyone else was prevented from advancing to the finals by his precense. Once I saw and exhausted woman finish the marathon and than almost collapse into others arms it was moving to see someone apply themselves so much,
