      Yeah - Tonelli was a backstroker. I still get shivers watching this. Tonelli told me that the change over by Brookes registered 0.00.00 on the electronic timing. Have a look at it in this video - it's scary!

    If I'm not mistaken, this is the only time a gold medal winning medley relay team did not feature any individual gold medalists on the team. Of course, if the US would have been there they probably would have won going away due to the fact that Rowdy Gaines (freestyle), Matt Gribble (butterfly) and Steve Lundquist (breaststroke) were all in their primes. The only question mark would have been in the backstroke.

    • @RealEstateNewsShow
      @RealEstateNewsShow  3 года назад

      True but the US put their best together to form a medley relay team the same weekend at their replacement games. We went faster. Wish they weren't robbed by Carter from competing. It would have been a good race.

      Apart from your obvious english grammar challenge, Australia were not only 'Olympian' at the 1980 Olympics, but upheld an 84 year old commitment to attend every Olympic Games since 19th century Athens (and since). The fact that geopolitics played a particularly nasty role in our international sporting endeavours is a black spot on everyone's freedom. To the Moscow and every other Olympian... Stand proud and thanks for teaching us to be the best we can be under all circumstances.

      Real Estate News Television You are the best in two things: picking on grammar errors made by non-native speakers when you have nothing to say and denying the obvious.
      That was pretty damn original way for Australia to participate in the Moscow Olympics as Moscow neither saw Australian flag nor heard Australian anthem.

      The Australian flag was not present because there was unofficial representation by non-Soviet teams to not show their flags at the games. Some athletes did not attend their representation of the Moscow Games because of the boycott. But other athletes felt so strongly about attending, that they went. It kept Australia's perfect Olympic attendance record intact.
