July 1980

Hi it's Aaron... join me as we turn the 20 20 Retro Countdown clock back to mid July 1980...

The week when the Moscow games started! A US lead boycott meant 120 Aussie athletes competed under the olympic banner and not the Australian flag. We brought home 9 medals from that games including 2 gold - both won in the pool.

While that was going - one of Australia's all time favourite game shows started...
Tony Barber and Victoria Nicholls hosted "Sale Of The Century"

If you were heading to the movies during this week in 1980 - chances are you were going to see this..

We'll also remember a comedy legend and find out who inspired Elton John to take a break from touring..as we visit mid July 1980 on the 20 20 Retro Countdown...
