Imagine the same revealing pose with Burt Reynolds surrounded by Mary Lou Retton, Mary Decker, Valerie Brisco-Hooks and Nancy Hogshead in the buff. Had it been the female U.S. Olympic winners rather than the male, they might have been asked to give up their gold medals...
...Moscow's Olympic pool, the crowd bellowed its approval as four East German women set a world record in the 400-meter freestyle relay. In the women's 100-meter freestyle, both Kristin Otto and Birgit Meineke of East Germany beat the winning time of Nancy Hogshead and Carrie Steinseifer of the U.S., who tied for the gold medal.
