55 days to the athens summer games. looking forward to them bigtime! it will be interesting to see which sport im watching and at what time. doesn't seem that long ago the 2002 winter games in salt lake.ah the memories. not just from 2002, but, for me, as far back as 1988 in calgery (winter) and seoul, south korea (summer). at least the first memories. 1984 is more of a fog. though. oh well. hopefully more memories and olympic heroes. the fun will soon begin.
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 🇧🇦).
