If you could travel on a time machine to any Olympics of the past, which Olympics would you want to attend?

1980 Winter Games in Lake Placid N.Y.....and we all know why of course...U.S. Hockey Team victory over the Russians and going on to win the Gold Medal had to be one of the top 5 most memorable Olympic events of all time.

I would certainly be very interested to see the Olympics in Istanbul, but somehow fear that because London (host of the 2012 Olympics) is nearby that might preclude Turkey from hosting the Games.

I think my favorite olympic sport is probably SPEED SKATING.  I like speed skating because I like waiting for the suspense to see if some like Apollo Anton Ono falls again. I like watching to see who will move on and go win the medal.

1908 - London, England \nThe 1908 Olympic Games were originally scheduled to be hosted by Rome, but the 1906 eruption of Mount Vesuvius caused the Games to be relocated to London. \n\nThese Games were much better organized than the previous regularly scheduled Olympic Games (they were even the first to have an opening ceremony), yet they were marred by politics and nationalism. Britain's recent refusal to give Ireland its independence caused Irish athletes to boycott the Games and caused contestants from the U.S to not dip the American flag to the British royalty during the opening ceremony (a tradition the U.S. continues to this day). \n\nThere was also controversy over the 400-meter final heat. As four runners came into the final stretch, W.C. Robbins (U.S.) was first, followed by J.C. Carpenter (U.S.), with British Wyndham Halswelle coming in third, and followed by a fourth runner from the U.S. As Carpenter and Halswelle (second and third runners) swung out to pass Robbins, someone shouted "Foul!" Though Carpenter (the U.S. runner who had been in second) finished first, with Robbins (U.S.) in second, and Halswelle (U.K.) in third, the British officials accused Carpenter of blocking and elbowing Halswelle and voided the whole race. The race was ordered to be rerun, but since the American runners refused to redo the race, Halswelle ran the race all by himself to win the gold. \n\nIt was in the 1908 Olympic Games that the exact distance of a marathon was established as 26 miles and 365 yards. Diving was added to the events for this year. \n\nApproximately 2,000 athletes participated, representing 22 countries.

Actually, the current theory on time travel is that the furthest back into the past you can travel with a time machine is to the point that the time machine was created.\n\nAccording to this theory, to travel back into the past, you would need to create two worm holes.  One wormhole would exist at the time that you turn on the machine and the other worm hole would be put somewhere to 'age'.  At some time in the future, something could be put into the wormhole in the future and it would come out in the past.

Berlin, Germany hosted the Olympics in 1936.  Anything dated 1937 or 38 must be phonies.\n\nThere are any number of sports memorabilia dealers and experts out there.  Here are some related to Yahoo.

There are dozens of things I'd love to go back in time to see: others, I would like to go back in time to prevent...\n\nOf them all, I think I would be most interested in seeing the Crucifixion; it's a topic I've studied with varying degrees of intensity for nearly 35 years (Long enough to catch a subtle error or two in Mel Gibson's movie, believe it or not), and I'd definitely love to see the real thing, no matter how much more horrific it is than Gibson's "Passion"

Traveling into the future is possible.  Going back through time, however, is not.

I go with Australia. We showed with a successful 2000 Olympics we are extremely capable of hosting world class sporting events and the venues left from the Olympics could be easily upgraded to the standard of world class stadiums. We are friendly people on the whole and would welcome everyone. That would be fantasic for us fans as being so far away from the rest of the world we don't get to see the best of the best play live. Australian's would love the opportunity to learn and grow from an experience like that.

If you base the performance on medals won, the best performing nation in Modern Olympic history is the USA. \n\nThe  link shows the total medals won by nation, for both the Summer & Winter games.

to release a record. obvious? maybe, but i wouldn't mind giving it ago just once.\n\nIn terms of fantasy places, i do want to go to the Dominican Republic etc etc - but all you do is sit in the sun!! \nSoooo if I could, id want to visit the Inca temples - the resting place of China's first emperor, Qin Shihuangdi. legend has it that he is guarded by 7000 Terra cotta soldiers!, Then there is the 'lost city' in India - I cant remember what it is called, but apparently the entire city is decorated with depictions of the karma sutra :)\n\nIn terms of things Ive always wanted to do... well there is a few. Id like to bungee from that bridge in Australia, go white water rafting in Canada, jump into one of those ice baths in Greenland after being in a sauna, sit on the bench Diana posed on outside the Taj mahal (sorry if i spelt it wrong), walk into the open 'arms' of St Peters in Italy, ride a gondola in Venice with my baby... i don't know if all these count but I'm only 23 and Ive already done so much, but there is still soooo  much to do. lol, maybe i shouldve put - good thing I'm only 23 :)
