He noted lifelong friendships, travel abroad, and cultural exchanges despite tight security and Russia’s isolation. The U S team of 32 nations fielded 1250 athletes, winning 45 golds 29 silvers and 35 bronzes with four world records. Leroy Dixon set a decathlon scoring record. The trip cost about 4000 to attend, Day said.
