#1: Parc Olympique Québec/Quebec Olympic Stadium
Picture it! Montreal. 1976. Romania's Nadia Comaneci scores seven perfect 10s and wins three gold medals; Cuba's Alberto Juantorena becomes the first man to win both the 400 meter dash and 800 meter dash at the same Olympics; and American boxers Sugar Ray Leonard, Leon Spinks, Michael Spinks, Leo Randolph and Howard Davis Jr. win gold medals as a boxing "dream team."
