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.)
You have a point, I'm trying to ignore the drug thing.
My background is track and field so I'm more "desensitized" to the drug thing (sad). It seems more common there than swimming. The only time I can remember it coming up in swmming was China's womens swim team at Barcelona, they kinda looked like guys.
I love track and field too. And, as I seem to recall, Rich's pick of Lindford Christie is wrong for the same reaasons. You must know I'm an ex-runner from my posts. Let's go pre-drug older runners. I loved Billy Mills underdog victory. So does Poolraat. I also loved when Alain Mimoun finally beat Emil Zatopek in the marathon.
But how could you forget about the East German women?!?! Kornelia Ender and Kristin Otto? No speculation there.
