Summary
After leading the USSR to a gold medal in men's basketball at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Sarunas Marciulionis and Arvydas Sabonis were poster boys for the Soviet sports machine. Four years later, after the fall of the Soviet Union, they emerged as symbols of democracy, helping their country break free from the shackles of Communism while playing for the newly independent Lithuania at the Barcelona Olympics.Additional Information
