AMERICA TAKES THE GOLD This year the United States had the honor of hosting a world-wide event which provides for civilized competi- tion among nations as well as a type of peace gathering. This event is known as the Olympics. In past Olympic Games, the United States has done extremely well, and the 1984 Summer Olympic Games were no ex- ception. Although our major rival, the Soviet Union, chose not to attend, the spirit and discipline of the Olympic athletes remained elevated. They showed their athletic expertise, dedication, and patriotism to countries all over the world. From the opening ceremony when the torch was ignited to the closing ceremony when the torch was extin- guished, the athletes retained their spirit and devotion giving all viewers something to be proud of. Names such as Mary Lou Retton, Bart Connor, and Steve Lundquist will never be forgotten because of the way they represented the United States at the 1984 Summer games. 1. One Olympic event is wrestling, a sport which has long been a part of the games. 2. Once again the American flag rises majesti- cally at the Olympics, proclaiming yet another victory for the United States. 3. Brilliantly colorful flags symbolize the spirit of the athletes.
