tension: the dispute between China and Taipei and the boycott by some thirty African countries, which began the era of Olympic boycotts.<br \/>They were also marked by a huge deficit of around one billion Canadian dollars, paid off only in 2006, which earned the stadium the nickname \u201cThe Big Owe\u201d.<br \/>In sporting terms, they saw Nadia Com\u0103neci\u2019s first perfect 10, the rise of East Germany (90 medals, 40 of them gold) and record female participation (20.7%).<br \/>Spain sent 113 athletes, only 10 of them women, and won two silver medals and ten Olympic diplomas.<br \/>The silvers came in the K4 1,000 m canoeing and the 470 class in sailing (Gorostegui and Millet), and Carme Valero became the first Spanish woman to compete in an Olympic
