The 1976 US Olympic Boxing Team

BBC World Service - Sporting Witness, The 1976 US Olympic Boxing Team

The American boxers acclaimed for one of the best team performances in Olympic history.

In 1976, a young and inexperienced American boxing team won five gold medals at the Montreal Olympics, defeating many of their Cuban and Soviet rivals on the way. Now acclaimed as one of the best teams of all time, the US boxers included future world champions such as Sugar Ray Leonard. Ashley Byrne talks to the youngest member of the squad - gold medallist Leo Randolph. The programme is a Made-In-Manchester Production.
