RIP Val, legendary Lancashire lass. born too soon, would have been a true superstar today. At 40 she was up against our top Olympians in their late teens early twenties. True class, should have made much bigger news.
That whistle then gun start threw them all off on the bicycle races and the women seemed happier when one of them won a Ferguson TV, love it. Suzanne Dando was a little pocket rocket and loved Kathy Cook's and Sharon Davies shorter haircuts here also.
regularly watched the mens back in the late 70s and early 80s but dont remember seeing the womens version weird, they should bring this back and get some much needed coverage for track and field stars
Please note that the united states, canada, china, japan, west germany and 60 other countries did not compete in the 1980 games because of a boycott to protest the soviet invasion of Afghanistan
How British was that "complaint" about the basketball. You know without a shadow of a doubt the official wears a blazer and the compere was just stirring things.

Who was she? Never heard of her!
@@angelacooper2661 I've never heard of angela cooper in women's cricket.
A top hockey player who missed out due to the Moscow boycott

Lovely stuff
Suzanne Dando 💖💖💖💖💖💖
They were actually very good,
Suzanne Randolph and Sharron Davies were my two favourite British female sports stars of this era.
Dando!!
Aged eleven and moving from junior to senior school that year. Shame that female cricketers didn't feature, because cricket is my game!

23;00. wow, a slim fit woman, i heard there was years ago but all hogs now days. i laugh now at titles full figure, big booty.... cute names for fat
I would have been only eleven and moving from junior to senior school back then!!!
Sharon Davies and Kathy Cook. Both suffered from competing against drug cheats.
Robbed, Sharon fights against cheating to this day.
slightly puzzled about why Kathy Smallwood cutting her hair short; she normally had it long for her competitive running
Were any more of these events broadcast ?
They really should have run that again or given her a 5 second bonus!

Like Suzanne
Does feel a little like womens sport was slightly in the doldrums during this time
They're basketball is better than Angel Reese.
It really annoys me when they suddenly introduce new events!!!
