  • I have received many requests since I posted these, so I better go have a look! I have some from '88, '92 and '94, but there was very little that aired in '80. I'll see what I can find and post it. Thanks, Jeff.

  • The standings at the end is how it finished, at least as far as medalists. The West German coneheads couldn't do better than silver.

    I watched this when first broadcast and remember all too well poor Huang Liu-Chong at 8:29 and how the crowd laughed at him after he skidded to a halt, then got back on his sled and tried to finish.

    Fantastic stuff, citius -- not easy to find ABC broadcast footage of either Games in '76, and the commercials are just as fun to see again. Thanks so much!

  • John - awesome old luge footage. Thanks for posting. Do you have any from '80 or '84?
