We look back at the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, boycotted by 65 nations following the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan. We hear from Great Britain 50 km race walker Ian Richards. He tells us why he decided to compete when many other athletes chose to stay away and he recalls his race experience on a hot day in Moscow. He also talks about the support he received from his faith as a follower of Jesus Christ after the sudden death of his wife.
