Explanation

The 1968 Mexico City Olympics, conducted at an elevation of 7,000 feet, are often referred to as the ‘high altitude upsets’ Olympics due to the impact of altitude on athletic performances. The other listed Games—Munich 1972, Montreal 1976, and Los Angeles 1984—do not share this distinction.
