Hoover Institution Archives: Radio Liberty: 50 Years - Time Line This was not the first time RL had been prevented from covering the games; in 1976, the IOC revoked the station's credentials to cover the Winter Games at Innsbruck, Austria, and in 1980 RL was refused accreditation at the Summer Games in Moscow. Despite ardent protests from Radio Liberty officials, in 1984 the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Yugoslav Olympic Committee agreed to bar RL from broadcasting from the Winter Olympics.

By David Plotz In 1980, after the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, the United States boycotted the Moscow Summer Olympics. The Summer Olympics allow underdog nations to sneak a few medals: a gold for Senegal here, a few for Thailand there, a fluky bronze for Guatemala. The Winter Games broadcast—even more than the summer one—is a traffic jam of lachrymose up-close-and-personal profiles: the Norwegian cross-country skier whose mother just died of cancer, the Italian bobsledder who survived a scary gondola accident, the courageous Finnish biathlete who struggles every day with the trauma of a vestigial third nipple. slate.msn.com /?id=2059734
