Montreal 1976. If the performance in Munich was poor, it was not much better in Montreal, despite the fact that the number of participants rose to 10, in addition to football referee Emilio Guruceta and rowing judge Iñaki Eguíbar and cycling judge Juan José Garayalde. Ramón Cid, the only athlete, had bad luck, because after clearing 16 metres on his first attempt and looking set to exceed the required 16.30 metres, he made two invalid jumps and said a sad and hasty goodbye. Sailing offered the best classification in the person of José Benavides, seventh in the ‘flying Dutchman’ class, although it was Abascal from Cantabria who had the most specific weight in the crew as a whole. In Olympic shooting, Esteban Azkue disappointed with his ninth place in the pit, as more was expected of him. And in the road cycling event, the rankings were nothing more than a dull disappointment: 32nd for Rafael Ladrón de Guevara and 33rd for Juan José Moral. Paulino Martínez withdrew. As for team sports, Alberto Carrera and Agustín Churruca improved on their performance in Munich by one place, as Spain came sixth. Finally, in football, with two defeats in as many matches (1-2 against Brazil and 0-1 against East Germany, who went on to win the tournament), Santiago Idígoras scored the only goal against Brazil and Luis Arconada, aged just 21, laid the foundations for what would later become his long international career.
