Original Toronto Star caption: Canadian Athletes intermingle with athletes from around the world in what Star writer John Brehl described as an incredible spectacle that was cornball and lunatic and an immense mish-mash; and it was simply great - closing night at the Montreal Olympics. It was viewed by world television audience of an estimated billion people; and a sellout crowd of 75;000 in stadium. Some had paid scalpers up to $250 for a single ticket-and some said later it was worth it.
