Which Olympic Games do you think were the best out of these six-

Atlanta
Nagano
Sydney
Salt Lake City
Athens
Torino

I personally think the Salt Lake City games were the best. Especially for the time frame it was held.:)

Sarajevo 84 were nice. Calgary 88 were a nice follow up.

Obviously it is the 776 BC olympics. They all kinda went downhill after that.

Out of that list, Sydney. They did a really good job.

Atlanta had the bomb and Athens was just a mess and it's a little too early to judge Torino.

Athens - the one flaw I found (and this was on part of the spectators) was how they couldn't restrain that douchebag priest properly who tripped up the Brazillian marathon runner

The old naked olympics.

We really need to bring back nude athletics.

Just imagine what nudity will do for the degree of difficulty in events like the Luge and downhill skiing!

I blame the British Police...IIRC a month or two before that he was running down the main straight at Silverstone during the British Grand Prix, got arrested, and then got released.

Wacko.

I vote 1980 winter. What can I say, I'm a US hockey fan. And Eruzione

I agree with this. If they brought back the nudity, I might actually watch it. As it is, it is just another two week ego-wank brought to me by pepsi. So I avoid it as far as possible.
