What is the Cold War?The Cold War was the ultimate power struggle between two powerhouses, the U.S and Soviet Union. The Cold War is a constant fight between the U.S and Soviet Union to see who is better in every category, and a main category was sports. In a time where Russia was beginning to enter Afghanistan and U.S morale was at an all time low, the U.S and Soviet Union hockey teams faced off against each other in a semi-final math in the 1980 Lake Placid winter olympics. What proceeded that night was one of the biggest upsets in sports history, where a group of amateur U.S hockey players defeated the powerful professional Soviet hockey team. A team that was deemed as impossible to beat.
