Images of the Olympic Games of Moscow

Moscow 1980 will be eternally remembered by a scene: that of Bear Misha, mascot of the games, emerging in a great mosaic and crying at the closing ceremony. In the competition, Brazil was present with 109 athletes, being 15 women. We returned home with 4 medals: two gold in the candle (Alex Welter and Lars Björkström, from the Tornado class, and Eduardo Penido and Marcos Soares, from 470) and the Bronzes of João do Pulo (plus one of him!) And the 4x200m relay Free in swimming with the team formed by Rômulo Arantes, Marcus Mattioli, Cyro Delgado and Djan Madruga.
