Both countries were very competitive when it came to sports and the war as well. Becuase of this compeition they were very persistent in any form of compeiting, just trying to do the best for their country and win.
They also showed which country was better at competing in certain sports, which turned into a competition of who was better than the other]]> 2022-04-07 18:36:05 UTC https://padlet.com/25bairdc/1u2gzyg6ralhuggv/wish/2135141301 What 3 comparisons could be made in the Cold War Olympics to present day Olympics? 25bairdc https://padlet.com/25bairdc/1u2gzyg6ralhuggv/wish/2135145879 Many people still boycott the Olympics because of what the Committee does.
