#1 Greatest Sports Moment of All Time: 1980 Miracle Game


Now we've been through the top two athletes in sports of all time, so let’s take a little break and head over to the greatest moments in sports of all time.  This list could and will go on forever, and it will keep growing as time goes on.  But for right now, we have no make the decisions as to what should be atop the list.  And after much conversation about the topic, there has been a unanimous decision.  The #1 Greatest Moment in Sports of All Time is the Miracle Game, between the United States and the Soviet Union in the 1980 Olympics.  This game was unbelievable, the US was written off, the people said they had no chance, and in the heat of the Cold War, this game was huge for the people in America.  By far, one of the greatest hockey games ever.  Now most of the kids around my age or a little bit older doesn’t know too much about it.  But we all got our information from the movie "Miracle" now this movie, this movie was awesome.  I'll never forget those last 10 seconds where everyone is counting down in the arena and the commentator goes, "Do you believe in miracles?!?!?"  It gives me the chills every time.  If you ask a lot of people who were around back then, it is one of those things where you remember where you were when it happened.   I don’t really know if the Olympics will ever get back to this kind of stature it had during the 1980 Winter Olympics.  I mean it almost did a couple years ago when the US played Canada in the Gold Medal Game, but they lost in overtime.  With that and everything else we’ve talked about that is why the 1980 Miracle Game is the #1 Sports Moment of All Time.
