US Olympians Make Amends At Montreal Games
East Germany led with 53 total medals as the Soviet Union faced questions over Borzov’s status. Shirley Babashoff sparked a USA revival by anchoring a world record 4x100 freestyle relay win, while Ed Moses set a 400 hurdles mark and Jim Montgomery swam the 100 free under 50 seconds. The Americans dominated swimming with 12 of 13 wins and 11 world records, offset by Germany’s multiple rowing wins and Soviet tensions.
