A Woeful Basketball Performance
In the 1948 Olympic Games, Iraq took part in basketball with the hope of being competitive. Unfortunately, that expectation was never realized. Early in the competition, Iraq was bombed by Korea to the tune of 120-20, a margin of 100 points!
Unbelievable, huh? Well, three nights later, the Iraqis took on China. They duplicated their previous dubious performance by losing, 125-25. At least they got more offense in their second game.
