Anyone else remember the good ild days when ABC broadcast the Olympics like it was theWide World of Sports. I miss those days. I want the thrill of victory and not the agony of another profile.
You are so correct. We were just talking about this the other night. ABC had far superior coverage. Roone Arledge knew how to broadcast an Olympics.
I especially loved watching EVERYONE receiving their medals during the awards ceremony, not just the Gold Medal winners. On the big events they used to show the winners walking into the arena, having the metals placed around their necks and having the announcer say each of their names.
It's interesting that this comment is coming from Al Michaels,(whom I adore). He was a part of that old ABC team., remember, "do you believe in miracles!"
