I remember it. The whole country was watching. No. No they weren't. A whole bunch if them knew nothing about it, and would have been glad to keep it that way. It wasn't a big deal. I know no one whose life was changed in any way by it. Folks really need to find perspective sports. If the US has won figure skating no one would care. If they had beaten the whole USSR in math or science competitions, no one would have noticed. Get your head out of the sand , different strokes for different folks . the people who were involved thrived on it people who dont do sports not so much,, let each person glean what they can out of any incedent ,or peace or piece of life.

Your extending my post.
Sure a lot of folks thought a lot of it.
It excited themm made them happy.
And that's great, I'm glad for folks being happy.
But as surprising as it is to sports fans,
A lot of folks DGAS.
Different folks, stroking it different.

Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...

I was 28 and Minnesota was home for the coach, and a fair number of the hockey players on the team.
I lived in Minnesota at that time....It was an extra big deal in Minnesota.

Live broadcast in a lot of places.
I was in Fbx at the time. We got the program on tape 4 weeks later for the TV station to broadcast.

We won the Gold medal, but not that night. We had to beat Finland several days later to get the gold.
