Officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II, Montreal 1976 is remembered as the Olympic Games that presented Nadia Comaneci and her first ever "Perfect 10" to the world. However, there were many more incredible Olympic moments that the world followed.

It was the first time women competed in basketball, rowing and handball. Lasse Virén won the 5,000 and 10,000 metres Double Double, while Alberto Juantorema won the 400 and 800 metres. Teófilo Stevenson won his second boxing Olympic gold medal. Shun Fujimoto incredibly overcame pain and performed with a broken knee on the ring events for the Japanese gymnastics team, who won the team gold medal.

Despite not having reached the podium, a few athletes would still have a historical moment in Montreal 1976. Future IOC president Jacques Rogge made his third and final Olympic appearance as an athlete. Queen Elizabeth II's daughter princess Anne competed in the Equestrian events, while future Japanese Prime-Minister Taro Aso took part of the Shooting competition.
