On this day

Rudy · February 23, 2012

It was on this day in 1980, during the Winter Olympic, when a bunch of college players defeated the Russin Red Army team in the semifinals. Two days later they won the gold medal.

Quite a huge accomplishment at the time considering how amazing the Russians were and how low the country's moral was at the time.

Sometimes sports are more than just a game.

Quite a huge accomplishment at the time considering how amazing the Russians were and how low the country's moral was at the time.

Sometimes sports are more than just a game.

People forget just how big of a moment this was in our country's history.

And I'm not talking just a sports moment.
