Soviets -
An upstart United States ice hockey team, made up primarily of collegiate players, won the gold medal, defeating the heavily favored Soviet team and then Finland in the medal round. Their defeat of the Soviet team became known as the "Miracle on Ice" in the US press. The win captured the hearts of Americans during a time of Cold War tensions, even though it was the win against Finland that captured the gold medal. A film about the event, called Miracle, was released in 2004.

Soviet's
-----------
"The U.S. ice hockey team’s stunning 1980 defeat of the heavily favored Soviets ranks among the top Olympic moments. The “Miracle on Ice” at Lake Placid, N.Y., pitted a cast of underdog unknowns against a powerhouse team that, in the end, underestimated the scrappy Americans. As the final seconds ticked off, with the U.S. team ahead 4-3, television announcer Al Michaels excitedly cried out, “Do you believe in miracles?” The answer was a resounding “Yes.” The miracle team went on to defeat Finland and capture the gold."
