In honor of today's opening ceremonies in Sochi, Russia; I offer you two of my all time favorite memories:
First: The Commodore 64 Winter Games !!
This game is one of my childhood favorites and is the reason why I know some of the National Anthems of other counties :)
The Opening Ceremonies:
The Anthems: (Its the Summer Games II version but the music is the same)
AND of course - Nikolai Volkoff sings the Russian National Anthem, then the Iron Sheik lets the crowd have it !!
Classic !!!

Never played the game however very familiar with Volkoff. I think the highlight of his career was vs. Hogan on SNME.
