For some reason the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989 stands out for me, I would have been 7.
I remember the '88 torch relay passed through our town and we had some kind of presentation to our class and were given a box of bronze/silver/gold crayons and they had a sample torch for us to look at. But I didn't really connect that dots to the "olympics" until a number of years later on that one.
