bods1000 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Some info, pare. Bowling was a demo sport in Seoul (1988). I think a Pinay won it. But the IOC did not approve its inclusion in 1992 in Barcelona.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> paren sbm - welcome back!may avatar ka na :boo: sino yung nasa picture? hehehehow's everything there, pare? speaking of the Olympics, the Olympics in the 70's were quite memorable. The 1972 Munich Olympics was known for its tragic results - the holding and killing of Israeli athletes by a terror group (was it the PLO or the Black September group? Can't quite recall...Of course that was where Mark Spitz won 7 golds in swimming - all in record time - a feat as yet unequalled...

I seem to recall, however, that one swimming event during the Munich Olympics was removed in succeeding Olympics, which means that Spitz's record may be equalled but never surpassed. The 1976 Montreal Olympics were more memorable for me, perhaps because in 1972, like a lot of basketball crazy Filipinos, I was all too focused on our basketball team beating Japan. The rest of the games seemed irrelevant (bad, bad, bad). But 1976 was different. There was Nadia Comaneci. The theme from the soap "The Young and the Restless" would eventually become "Nadia's Theme" because they kept using that music while showing Nadia's routine in slow motion. The "perfect ten" really began with Nadia Comaneci. It wasn't even 10 on the scoreboard but 1.0, because no one had ever scored a 10 before Nadia came along. The highest the scoreboard could register then was 9.99. Still in gymnastics, there was that pretty Korean-looking Soviet named Kim, who took a couple of silvers. Then there was Bruce Jenner, who fulfilled a promise made four years earlier to win the decathlon. Lasse Viren again dominated the 5,000 and 10,000 meters run. The US basketball team regained the gold medal. Frank Shorter failed to win back-to-bak Olympic marathons. The swimming star in 1976 was John (?) Nader, whose forte was the backstroke. Bob Seagren relinquished his pole vault title to a Soviet. In 1976, the Soviet Union (we kept seeing that CCCP on their jackets) for the second straight Olympics surpassed the US in the gold medal tally. By the way, there was this documentary on the Munich Olympics that was really great. I believe the title was "Visions of Seven." It documented various aspects of the 1972 Olympics, as captured on camera by seven filmakers. The two segments I remember were those dealing with the decathlon and the losers. The latter was particularly heartbreaking, as it showed the reactions of those athletes who failed to advance. A lot of them were in tears. Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 paren jt - you said the US regained its basketball crown in Montreal..was it in Munich where the US lost by 1 point to the Soviet Union - on a last-second tip-in by Alexander (?) Belov?After the 70's the Olympics were flawed by boycotts so hindi masyadong maganda. In 1980 Moscow, the US boycotted while in the 1984 LA Olympics gumanti namang mag-boycott ang USSR...Do you remember the great Soviet gymnast Olga Korbut? Did she come before, or after, Nadia Comaneci? Quote Link to comment
storm Posted February 25, 2005 Author Share Posted February 25, 2005 Before si Olga Korbut. She was the darling gymnast of the Munich Olympics. In 1976, Sugar Ray Leonard and Leon Spinks won the gold medals in the Welterweight and Light-heavyweight respectively. Tungkol naman sa Visions of Seven, magaling din yung unang segment about the 100 M dash. Quote Link to comment

Some more info about terrorists. The SLA was then led by a man whose nom de guerre was Field Marshall Cinque. Carlos Ilyich Ramirez was caught in Sudan and extradited to France where he is now held in solitary confinement, just like Abimael Guzman, the founder and former leader of Sindero Luminoso (Shining Path), the communist movement that terrorized Peru from the 70s-80s. Another terrorist group that was founded sometime in the late 60s is ETA (Euskadi Ta Askatasuna). It is still waging a bombing campaign for Basque independence.

I like his songs, but my favorite is Downright Women. The Jackal was made into a movie in the 70s starring Edward Fox. The remake starring Bruce Willis was horrible. Forsythe's book was great; the cool and calculating mind of the Le Chacal, his ruthlessness made you want to root for him. Quote Link to comment

storm Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 Sige bro, ingat lagi. Mga movies na naalala ko na favorite namin noong highschool ay yung mga Italian Comedy movies ni Lando Buzzanca (ewan ko kung tama spelling). Naughty and sexy. Hindi ko na matandaan ang mga titles except for My Darling Slave. Quote Link to comment
