Bec asked:
Athletes competing in the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City arrived in the city some weeks before the games begun. They wanted to ‘acclimatize’.
What is so different about Mexico City that required this special preparation? What would be the problems experienced by foreign athletes competing in the Games?How were these problems of the athletes overcome?
