The Miracle on Ice — The Greatest Upset in Sports History

On February 22, 1980, during the Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, New York, the United States men's ice hockey team — composed entirely of amateur and college players — defeated the four-time defending Olympic gold-medalist Soviet Union 4-3 in a game widely regarded as the greatest upset in the history of sports. The Soviets had won gold at four consecutive Olympics and were considered the best hockey team in the world; the Americans were the youngest team in the tournament. Trailing 3-2 entering the third period, the U.S. tied the game on a Mark Johnson goal, and team captain Mike Eruzione scored the go-ahead goal with exactly 10 minutes remaining. Goaltender Jim Craig held off a relentless Soviet attack over the final minutes (finishing with 36 saves), and as the seconds ticked away, ABC broadcaster Al Michaels delivered the immortal call: "Do you believe in miracles? Yes!" Two days later, the U.S. defeated Finland 4-2 to clinch the Olympic gold medal. Coming amid Cold War tensions, the victory transcended sport — Sports Illustrated ranked it as the top sports moment of the 20th century.
