Back in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, technology wasn't as advanced as it is today. In fact, they needed a whopping 22 observers to figure out who won some of the running races! Can you imagine trying to keep track of that many runners with just your eyes? No high-speed cameras meant no instant replays. Talk about a nail-biter finish!
