I will never forget when he won the Gold;we were all huddled around a 19-inch t.v. set.His win and "The Miracle On Ice" hockey Gold are epic.Thanks Bill!Hope you get better.Good luck.
The promo for "Wide World Of Sports" included a dual boxing meet between the U.S. and Cuba which was "a foreshadowing of what's to come in the Summer Olympics".
But Cuba, along with most of the Eastern Block, never made it to Los Angeles, so Teofilio Stevenson never got his chance to three-peat.
The three minute "Up Close and Personal" on Bill Johnson was one of the longest such features ABC ever did.
By contrast, NBC often did five or six minute "Up Close and Personals" until 2000.
This was just a great time for American Winter Sports. First, in 1980 we had the Miracle on Ice
and Eric Heiden and then in 1984 we had Bill Johnson. For this then young 20+ American I was
truly inspired
