Listen to the audio version of a popular post from my blog, Abandoned Sector. This is the story of the 1968 basketball final between AEK Athens and Slavia Praha. What was the political significance of athletics during the Cold War confrontation between NATO and the Warsaw Pact ? And how did the Greek Junta capitalise on this unique sporting event.
