As one who is surrounded by Olympics athletes, the 1984 Summer Olympics was held in Los Angeles.

I got the chance to actually meet people from all over the world and learn to converse in their tongues.

No politics, no post-event reviews, no media coverage on flaws of judging, no politicians leveraging Olympics (that I intensively read for in many printed media). A really nice week(s).

Today, not so much.
