RR8006A LAKE PLACID WINTER OLYMPICS

(8 Feb 1980) RR8006A LAKE PLACID WINTER OLYMPICS
Background to Story: The Soviet Union's movement of troops into Afghanistan, and the resulting international protests, are posing a serious threat to the 1980 Summer Olympic Games in Moscow. However, this year's Winter Olympic Games, from February 13th to 24th, appear likely to go ahead normally in Lake Placid, New York State, USA. President Carter will not attend the opening ceremony, as originally planned, but there has been no attempt to ban Soviet athletes, and there has been no mention of a Soviet boycott.
