**** me, that's a smeller.

1) Pfft. Guess it must be fairly recent. 1995?
2) Seem to remember Marc Rosset (sp?) winning once.
3) Montreal?
4) Jesus. Spitz?
5) 1968. Us, Yugoslavia, Italy & (I think) the Soviet Union, who Italy rather quaintly beat on a coin-toss in the semis.
6) 200m, long jump, high jump, javelin, 800m, shot put, 100m hurdles
7) 0?
8) 1?
9) Let's see: Sampras, Kraijcek (sp?), Ivanisevic, Hewitt & Federer, so that makes 5.
