I've always been fascinated by the 36 Olympics. Would like to find a good book covering it. What book is this from?

Wasn't an Olympic moment. Was a Tad Gourmley thing.

Carl Lewis 1996-- one of those age defying moments in one of the sports with the harshest age curves.

#1. The great Lasse Viren winning the 5,000 and 10,000 meters in '76, then placing 5th in his first marathon with only a day or two rest. Absolutely phenomenal.

#1A. Viren winning the 5,000 and 10,000 meters in the '72 Olympics, setting a world record in the 10,000 even with tripping and falling down. He blew away Prefontaine in one of those races.

#1B. The great Kip Keino blowing away the highly favored Jim Ryun in the '68 1500 meter final, with a phenomenal time at altitude of 3:34.9.

1. Phelps getting his 7th over Milorad Cavic by a hair. Tying Spitz's record.

2. Dream team signing autographs from their competitors.

3. Redeem team wrecking shop in 2008.

4. Any shot of one of the beach volleyball chicks pulling a wedgie out.

Still not quite sure how he did that, either. I was so sure he lost.
