Miracle on Ice

It was back in 1980 when a huge upset took place!

In one of the most dramatic upsets in  Olympic history, the underdog U.S. hockey team, made up of college players, defeats the four-time defending gold-medal winning Soviet team at the XIII Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, New York.

The Soviet squad, previously regarded as the finest in the world, fell to the youthful American team 4-3 before a frenzied crowd of 10,000 spectators.

Two days later, the Americans defeated Finland 4-2 to clinch the hockey gold.

If you have never seen the movie, do watch it! Miracle on Ice. It is a great one.

PS. This day is 2-22-22! All the twos!
