1968 Winter Olympics by BruceM

Question 12

Either of two answers is acceptable. The December 1967 lighting of the Olympic torch was delayed for three days because of a failed coup attempt, directed against Greece's military junta, that led to the exile of Greece's last king. Name either the leader of the junta -- a U.S. trained (possibly CIA-backed) dictator who held power until 1973 -- or the exiled king who became an honorary International Olympic Committee member.

Georgios Papadopoulos; Constantine II
