In Italy the first Olympics in "living color" officially transmitted by RAI, on an experimental basis, were those of Monaco 1272.
Here forward an extract from my university thesis.
<<... To satisfy the parties are contenders ended up taking a typical decision
Italian was established to transmit by both systems for the Olympics
Monaco of 1972. This solution ridette hopes the French, but did jump
on all the anger that German politicians threatened not to grant more
requested loan of two million Dollars. Despite all the evening of 26
August iridati the circles of the Olympic banner appeared on the video. Even
was also taken into consideration by the Italian government, called
to choose between the French and Germans opting "salomone way" for some and
cunning for other the adoption of both systems, accepting the formula
"bistandard" but this assumption proved to be technically and economically
now impractical for the fact that it would increase the cost of radio
broadcasting and TV not to mention the controversy that would
triggered on which programs broadcast in PAL and what in S.E.C.A.M. with
all background to the case. .... >> As you can see in Italy the simple things come always made complex. All decision-making on the introduction of color TV system lasted well 12 years!
