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:
“And a sigh heaves from all the small things on earth,
The books, the papers, the old garters and union-suit buttons
Kept in a white cardboard box somewhere ...
The summer demands and takes away too much,
But night, the reserved, the reticent, gives more than it takes.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
