2026 Winter Olympics

Not sure if it's been mentioned itt, but we watched the new Netflix doc on the 1980 team last night.

Most excellent. I recommend.

Lots of interviews and old footage.

I suppose we all know the story pretty well at this point and I don't think I really learned anything new. That said, getting to listen to the players and others talk about it and get emotional and seeing the non-game footage was worth the time.

Living in Plattsburgh, NY we go to Lake Placid several times a year for various reasons. Our granddaughter who just graduated from Chazy Central Rural School this past spring was a 3 season athlete and Lake Placid High School was a common opponent. The LPHS athletic fields are at the horse show grounds where the 80 openning ceremonies were held. The cauldron and ski jumps were always towering over the soccer and softball games. We have attended many events at the Herb Brooks arena, Stars on Ice, Disney on Ice, Northwood School hockey Games, The D3 College Hockey Final 4, and just to walk around. Watching this documentary gives me goose bumps whenever watching it. A huge advantage living in Plattsburgh,is we were able to attend events during the 80 games. Unfortunately we could not get tickets for the USSR - USA game, but because of our location were able to watch the game live on the CTV (Canadian) station CFCF 12 out of Montreal. So far I have watched this documentary 3 times and will watch it again for sure.
 
(I have yet to watch the Netflix documentary, but...)

In case people aren't aware of it, there's a ESPN documentary called "Of Miracles and Men" from ten years ago that tells the story in great depth from the Russian point of view. Very interesting.

I believe I've seen that or another documentary from their perspective. It was quite good from what I recall and I should give it another crack.
