Emmy Award From the 1988 Winter Olympics
Brilliant Emmy Award, presented at the 1988 Sports Emmy Awards to cameraman John R. Savoy for coverage of the Olympics.

The base`s flat perimeter reads ``The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences``. Front section is engraved with 5 lines naming the award, its category and recipient: ``1988 Sports Emmy Award / Technical Team Remote / XV Winter Games / ABC / John R. Savoy: Camera``. Measures 15.25`` in total height with a 7.5`` diameter base. Weighs 5 lbs., 8 oz. Scattered scratches to figure and a small chip to gold plating on her dress, else near fine.
