7.After Olympic fever swept the nations, especially the United States in 1976 (the nation's bicentennial), the worldwide sporting competitions would be sorely missed until 1980, as well as 1984, when the U.S. would be the host nation for the Summer Games.

It was first telecast on ABC (American TV channel) in 1978. Name the teams and the event. (Event-5, all teams-5, less than all teams-0)
