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.)

1984 Olympics men's 200 meter Butterfly with Michael Gross of W Germany, Pablo Morales of the United States and some other great swimmer from Venuzela. I saw it on TV. All the commentators John Nabor and Donna Devaronna said it would be which of those guys got the Gold, Silver and Bronze.
3 minutes after the race started Donna Devaronna was interviewing Australian Jon Sieben the new world record holder and Gold Medalist in the 200 meter Butterfly. Sieben 17 years old had never gone below 2 minutes until that morning. John Sieben was about 12" shorter than Michael Gross and 17 years old. He was also a very polite young man in the interview.
