During the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Canada, Cameroon, along with many other African countries, boycotted due to the participation of New Zealand, who still had sporting links with South Africa.
Athletes from Cameroon, Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia competed on July 18-20 before these nations withdrew from the Games.
Famous quotes containing the word summer:
“The restlessness that comes upon girls upon summer evenings results in lasting trouble unless it is speedily controlled. The right kind of man does not look for a wife on the streets, and the right kind of girl waits till the man comes to her home for her.”
—Sedalia Times (1900)
