Subject: When did ABC'sWideWorld of Sports debut?
When did ABC's Wide World of Sports debut? As a kid I absolutely LOVED it! I even thought the intro was way cool"Spanning the globe to bring you the best in sports......the thrill of victory....and the agony...of DEFEAT...the human drama of athletic competition...this is ABC'S WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS!!" I got my first taste of racing(NASCAR and Indy cars)from WIDE WORLD. I also got my first glimpse of "The Greatest"Muhammad Ali,and also track and field stuff. But there is one thing I wanna know about the show's opening-Who's that poor skiier that took that wild tumble? I forget his name,I used to know it.

What was the big deal about those African American runners giving the Black Power sign on the awards stand at the '68 Summer Olympics in Mexico City?
