Check out this incredible, newly discovered, original play-by-play call of The Miracle On Ice, perhaps the greatest upset in the history of team sports. When the USA shocked Russia, 4-3, at the 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympics, Curt Chaplin was covering the game as a sports reporter for the ABC Radio Network. Standing on a camera platform in the crowd, he did play-by-play of the entire game into his tape recorder, capturing the event on tape forever. Now, after 25 years, these tapes have been rediscovered and matched to the video. The result is a dramatic, stirring and completely original experience for sports fans all over the world. Now you can relive the #1 sports upset of the 20th Century in a whole new way, through new eyes and a new voice. Still as fresh and exciting as the day it happened. If you know any hockey players or hockey fans, send them the link. They should all see it.

Yes, me too!! I was reading the NY Time cronicle about the 2-0, and they state that the US victory against Spain is the second greatest US sport victory, only after the “Miracle of Ice”. As a Peruvian I dindn’t know a thing about Ice Hockey, so I checked about that “Miracle” and here I am.

what are you talking about? all I said was that they had all the reasons to be confident.
and don’t tell me I don’t see how big it was. I realize perfectly the importance of the game, even though I wasn’t born yet. And I never tried to discredit the importance of the game, I don’t know what you are talking about.
And even though I am a Russian myself, The Miracle, the movies based on the game, is my favorite sports movie of all time.

You’re an idiot. I know that wasn’t a fake because I WAS THERE!
