The Olympic games date back 3,000 years to Ancient Greece, with the first broadcast beginning in 1936 for the Berlin games. Ever since, the global sporting event has created moments that have lodged themselves in our collective memory. Like during the 2008 games when Michael Phelps took home the most gold medals in Olympic history, or in 1996 when Muhammad Ali, despite having Parkinson\u2019s, carried the Olympic flame during the opening ceremony, or when Florence Griffith Joyner, aka "Flo-Jo," dominated the 100 and 200 meters sprints at the 1988 Summer Games and set a record that still stands day. Today on AirTalk, we\u2019re asking listeners which Olympics moments do you remember? Maybe it\u2019s one from childhood or maybe it was the last Summer games.
