slow sports night. it helped in a way. had a lot of running around to do after work. watching my weekly racing show - inside nextel cup racing with michael waltrip, johnny benson and ken schrader and hosted by allan bestwick. the show reviews the weekend's racing, previews the upcoming race weekend, and has the hot seat feature. the hot seat is where someone in nascar (driver, crew chief or whatever) comes in and gets "grilled" by the "expert" panel of mikey, johnny and kenny. the show is on speed channel every monday at 5 & 9. there's even a speed fan q&a. very good show. more later.
Ice hockey at the 1980 winter Olympics
This tournament went from February 12-24, 1980. 12 teams played. The Olympic Fieldhouse and Olympic Arena hosted the games. Canada hockey team returns and finishes 6th. Tournament best remembered for the "miracle on ice" as the United States beat the Soviet Union before beating Finland to win gold. They had also beat Czechoslovakia and tied Sweden. Their roster fielded exclusively amateur players. The United States, as mentioned, won gold, Soviet Union the silver and Sweden the bronze. Next is the 1984 tournament in Sarajevo Yugoslavia (now Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦).
