Ah, Mark, the 1984 Olympics were played in Los Angeles. The Soviet Union, as well as the other Comuunist block nations, boysotted the Games, because we boycotted the 1980 games in Moscow. Incidentally, the USA, led by Michael Jordan, won the gold medal in basketball. They were the last completely collgiate USA team to win the gold medal.
My guess is that you were very young at the time.
