One curious aspect of the 1960
games was Russia's emergence
as a medal winner in sports that
by any reckoning must be con

equestrian, fencing and rowing.
Another curious aspect was the
fact that despite the lure of Rome
as a tourist city and despite the
lavish stadiums unmatched in
Olympic annals and the $4,600,000
box office take, the crowds were
not large.
