I have been to one Olympics. Lake Placid in 1980. I was 8 at the time. My mom was working for a tour operating company and she was tapped to lead a tour group. So, I got to go along. She actually had tickets to the US hockey games. She gave them away and got ice dancing and speed skating tickets instead. I was bored by the ice dancing, and freezing during the speed skating. (It was outdoors.). I wasn’t a hockey fan at the time; I became one a few years later. Now I wish I would have been one then for to have seen those games, wow. One of my favorite movies now is Miracle.
I think the 40th anniversary of the "miracle on ice" is coming up very soon. (Briefly glanced at a headline the other day about this.)
