Killanin calls boycott 'sad' but Moscow Games must go on
IOC president Lord Killanin said a U.S. boycott would be very sad but he regarded canceling or postponing the Moscow Olympics as unthinkable. He noted the Lake Placid session would consider U.S. views as the IOC weighs options on the Moscow Games amid Afghan invasion tensions. A Soviet official in Mexico City denounced the boycott push as crude and violative of the Olympic charter.

Olympic flame passes Albany on 10000 watch toward Lake Placid
Runners carried the Olympic flame toward Lake Placid as it neared New York state. Susan Liers, a 21 year old State University senior, lit the Empire State Plaza ceremony in Albany watched by about ten thousand spectators. The flame split into two routes through the Champlain Valley and Adirondack Mountains, with a Friday meet in Lake Placid planned at 7 30 p m. Gov Hugh Carey called the flame a divine spark. Four disabled war veterans in wheelchairs relayed the flame down the plaza to the reviewing stand.
