    Saw some Eastern European woman set the world record in the 10,000 km walk, first track world record in Seattle since Henry Go Cougs Rono! Also saw future world champions Shane Mosely, Tim Austin, and Sven Ottke at the Arena. And the USA defeat Canada in a shootout at the T Dome.

    As far as fake-Olympics go, the 1990 Goodwill Games weren't bad.

    Looks like someone left out the 1990 Goodwill Games (RIP)

    The games opened at Husky Stadium with a speech by President Reagan. As well as an address by Arnold Schwarzenegger, and a performance by the Moody Blues & Gorky Park

    Around 1,400 Soviet athletes came and stayed with host families in Seattle. Soviet cosmonauts also visited, while the Moscow State Circus gave a number of fine performances

    I saw Carl Lewis run at Husky Stadium.
