Girls,
In 1980 at the Winter Olympics, the USA Hockey team was to play the Powerhouse Soviet Union (Russia) team. The Russian Team had won the previous 4 Olympic gold medals in Hockey. They were heavily favored again, especially against the USA team.
The USA team was made up of all college kids. The Russian team was made up of all professional hockey players. Earlier that year, the Russian badly beat the USA team 10-3.
What happened that night shows that anything is possible. The USA won! Yes, those college kids, that noone gave a chance, won the Gold Medal by beating the so-called Powerhouse Russian Team.
