Emmy award for the spectacular 1984 Summer Olympics, held in Los Angeles, California. Emmy was presented at the 1985 Sports Emmy Awards, won by ABC Camera Operator Stanley Majdanski in the category of ''Outstanding Individual Achievement'' for the 1984 Summer Olympics. The first Sports Emmy award was issued in 1950 as part of a regular Emmy ceremony, though the field of sports coverage earned a ceremony all on its own in 1979. The iconic winged woman holding an atom stands on the convex, grid-lined surface of a round metal base, plated in 18k gold. Flat perimeter of base reads: ''THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF TELEVISION ARTS AND SCIENCES''. Plaque is engraved with 6 lines naming the award, its category and recipient: ''1984-1985 SPORTS EMMY AWARD / Outstanding Individual Achievement / STANLEY MAJDANSKI / Camera Operator / '1984 Summer Olympics' / ABC''. Measures 15.25'' in total height with 7.5'' diameter base and weighs 6 lbs. Dimensions are the same as Emmys presented in the standard Creative Arts category. Part of one wing has broken off, and black band is bent in two spots. Otherwise, status is in very good condition with little tarnishing.
