with the 80 Boycott- I would say that the 84 games were also my first with real vivid memories- lots of names stick from those games- I think those are the big 2, but Anne Ottenbrite, the boxers DeWitt and O'Sullivan, Lori Fung (first time I knew that was a sport), and sigh this quiet guy I didn't know much about named Johnson nabbing 3rd in the 100 and the relay- to my mind Desai Williams was the more famous sprinter at that point
