That's some story to tell. It's why Apollo appeals, because I can't imagine what it would have been like to be involved and witness them land on the moon - 6 times! Same with you, what it must be like to have been involved with people working at the peak of athleticism.
I can sum up my own career in the the words of SG Collins:
'My career has been unremarkable, but it has happened.'
I'm a great fan of Olympia. My athletic skills are not good enough to participate as an athlete, but I'm proud to be part of the whole team. Salt Lake City were my first games, and they were fantastic, Turin was boring, Vancouver was fantastic and Sochi was strange.
Anyway, I know the work behind such a project. And to see, that all details work, is simply brillant. Ok, I can't compare it with such a project like Apollo, I'm not that megalomaniac
One reason might be, that nobody will call our medals as faked.
P.S. I'm also interested in the history of the Olympics of the modern era. I'm this for Olympics, what Jay is for Apollo.
