Description: 1976 SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS Record / Album in Excellent Condition RECORD *** SEALED *** MINT Condition. Narrated by Gil Santos. Here are some of the sporting highlights in the world of sport for 1976. The major events of this year in sport were the Summer and Winter Olympic Games. The most notable event of the Winter Olympics was the fourth straight gold medal win by ex-Soviet Union's men's hockey team. This dominance was the reason the US win against the ex-Soviet in the next Olympics was of such prominence. In the Summer Olympics, 25 African teams boycotted the games because New Zealand, which played in apartheid South Africa, was allowed to participate. The most memorable event of the games was provided by a 14 year old Nadia Comaneci. She scored a perfect 10 once believed as unattainable. These Games were also the first to introduce testing for anabolic steroids and other prohibited substances. In men's tennis, Bjorn Borg won his third grand slam title and his first at Wimbledon defeating Ilie Nastase in straight sets. Borg went on to win the Wimbledon in the next four years, to finish his career with five Wimbledon and 11 grand slams. Jimmy Connors won the US Open for the second time. Chris Evert, who had won two grand slam titles in each of the last two years kept her pace to win two more on this year. Muhammad Ali, the all-time great boxer, won four heavyweight title fights in the year which also included the technical knockout of Richard Dunn in Munich.
