Jon Joseph Moderator No. 1 Share Posted July 25 1924 - The Paris Olympics as portrayed in the Academy Award-Winning 'Chariots of Fire.' A wonderful, wonderful movie and well worth the watch. 2024 - The Paris Olympics with LaBron James carrying our nation's flag into the stadium. Thank you Jesse Owens for paving the way in Berlin. Every B1G member school will be represented in Paris. Puddles, fly high in Pari! USA! USA! USA! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckley Palace No. 2 Share Posted July 29 A lot of people forget about what a trailblazer Jesse Owens was. He dominated an event held in Germany just prior to WW2. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuc007 No. 3 Share Posted July 29 No doubt, but let us not forget Mack Robinson, Jackie Robinson's brother. Mack was an Oregon Duck and was a close second to the great Jesse Owens in the 100 in those Olympic Games. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuc007 No. 4 Share Posted July 29 Steve Prefontaine made a valiant effort but he was fouled up by the terrible hostage taking and murder by the Palestinian group, Black September. Mac Wilkins, Sig Ohlman, and Harry Jerome were great Olympic champian Ducks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
