Several posts would be needed to cover my life during the years preceding Munich. And no matter how many posts I could enter about the games in Germany, none could express the amount of excitement that those games brought. In any case, here goes just the beginning.
I flew into Munich and with my backpack and maps headed for a large OLYMPIC INFORMATION CENTER. Whew, it was big and there were lines for almost anything anyone would or could be wondering about. I first usually walk the circumference of a new place and check all out, so I did. Although I got in the line for "camping", I ended up in one of the grandest apartments in the city!
Carole Wimberg Cadora's Olympic Journal of Beijing Olympics 2008, Athens 2004, Salt Lake City 2002, Sydney 2000, Atlanta 1996, Barcelona 1992, Los Angeles 1984, Montreal 1976, Munich 1972 and Mexico 1968 and...the olympic spirit. Weaving present and past, the blog gives different perspectives, working in broadcasting within the International Broadcasting Center yet includes the great fun of experiencing the games as an outsider with no credentials.
