Romania has a sizable Hungarian minority - and > they have a good tradition in gymnastics. I also knew Szabo was a Hungarian name (meaning "tailor", I understand) but I happened to remember that the Soviet Union and its eastern European allies boycotted the Olympics in 1984. Romania wasn't as good an ally as the rest, so they didn't join the boycott. Hence my guess of Romania. -- Dan Tilque |

Hence my guess of > Romania. Yeah, I also recalled the boycott, which put me in doubts. I thought that maybe it was only the USSR that stayed home, permitting the sattellites to participate. But it's true that Ceaucescu often took his ways. One more reason I should have thought of Romania! -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |
