Gold medal game, 1980 Olympic Basketball
July 30, 1980 · Moscow, Soviet Union
Gold medal game, 1980 Olympic Basketball: Yugoslavia 86–77 Italy, at Moscow, Soviet Union on July 30, 1980.
A genuine, freshly-played rematch of these two teams' Final Round medal-pool meeting five days earlier — the pool determined seeding for this discrete medal game, it did not decide the medal directly (unlike 1960, where medal-pool results stood as final). This resolves this site's own previously-open caveat about whether 1980's medal round was a genuine round-robin (like 1960) or a discrete final: it was both, in sequence.
