Climbing Olympic SKI JUMPS and Exploring the MIRACLE ON ICE 1980 Ice Rink | Lake Placid, NY Pt 3

[@dawnfitzpatrick2825]

I was born and raised here. I never even saw the beauty all around me until I moved away in my early 20s. I moved back home last year. I love sharing my home with my adult children who grew up in a small city.

Man, nice stuff. Thanx. Great to see these spots and hear some history. I remember watching this game in 1980, very exciting at the time!

NHL players didn't participate in the Olympics until the 1998 games in Nagano.

I finally got to visit Lake Placid on a very hot day in Aug of 1996.I had met Eric Heiden ( who won his 5 golds in speed skating here in 1980 ) at a bike race in the San Diego area in June of 1980.I was living between LA and San Diego then.I also got to meet Dan Jansen in my home state where I am now at a kids hospital fundraising event.He was just as nice as Eric and I was just as nervous too. :) I walked on that oval and rode half way down the mntn on the bobsled.Great Video!!!!!

That’s the boarding speed. In northern NY we assume everyone has been on a gondola, chair lift, canoe, kayak, snowmobile, power boat, whatever

Very cool place to explore, I had a friend at Paul Smith college next town over he hdat leave so college could use dorm for visitors, I picked him up brought him back several times and have gone back over the years..I'm in NH .great place, except lake placid is chemically polluted from west coal and other factories

You should have checked out the US locker room. You would be amazed how small it is.

[@petercharron3268]

even Minor team players were considered professionals and not permitted in the Olympics

[@petercharron3268]

The entire country watched on TV that day, with people in Russia waking up to the shock

When they lost to the US, the Soviets then played for the bronze, not silver.
