NOTE:
The Games were notable as the first ones to be broadcast in the U.S. by NBC. While the satellite broadcast was a huge leap forward in technology, coverage was still limited. NBC supplemented what could be shown live with taped events that had to be flown across the Pacific and then aired in the U.S.
Tokyo was also the first time that Olympic results were tallied and kept via computer, instead of by hand. Japanese engineers from IBM designed a system from scratch that kept records and distributed them to the media and for official record-keeping
