Innocent pure fruit smoothie, kiwis, apples and limes (banana free)
Official Smoothie of the London 2012 Games
Great Tales of the Olympic Games
It's the Munich 1972 Olympic Games, and the men's basketball final saw the outright favourites the USA and the underdogs of the USSR come nose to nose. The game ended 50-49, with the Americans claiming gold. But after a lot of weird occurrences, the game was actually restarted with a 50-49 scoreline and 3 seconds left to play on the clock.
In one move from the restart, the USSR scored, making them 51-50 victors. As you can expect, it all kicked off. The USSR were elated, the USA team were livid and refused to collect their silver medals. In fact, they are all still in a vault, with some players even having it written into their wills that they shall never be collected. Things are still a
bit tense.
