International Olympic Academy
IOA
Greece
Anniversaries
20 - 40 - 60
Founded in 1961
20th Anniversary 1981
40th Anniversary since 1981
60th Anniversary 2021
In 1981 I was a member of the USA delegation to the International Olympic Academy in Greece.
It was the 20th Anniversary of the IOA which was founded in 1961. It was the first Olympic function following the 1980 Moscow Games, thus it was a diplomatic nightmare because the USA had led a boycott of those Games. It was the year that CHARIOTS OF FIRE, a movie about the 1924 Olympic Games, won an Academy Award as "Best Film."
My family, cousins/relatives that owned a Department Store chain in New England, donated complete sets of uniforms for our delegation. However the parcels were delivered by an employee to the wrong airport in New York. Our delegation flew from Kennedy Airport to Athens but the uniforms were delivered to LaGuardia Airport, lol. Even though the uniforms made it on the next flight to Athens the Greek Customs Officers refused to give them to me because I did not have a receipt. Those uniforms are still sitting in some warehouse in Athens.
I have created several pages to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the 1981 IOA, the year I attended, which would be the 60th Anniversary (hence "20-40-60"). I am gathering our history from
as many sources as possible and list the USA delegation (6 people) as well as all the participants at the Academy in 1981. Go here for the IOA pages.
