Miracle On Ice, Newly Discovered Original Live Call

Back


Check out this incredible, newly discovered, original play-by-play call of The Miracle On Ice, perhaps the greatest upset in the history of team sports. When the USA shocked Russia, 4-3, at the 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympics, Curt Chaplin was covering the game as a sports reporter for the ABC Radio Network. Standing on a camera platform in the crowd, he did play-by-play of the entire game into his tape recorder, capturing the event on tape forever. Now, after 25 years, these tapes have been rediscovered and matched to the video. The result is a dramatic, stirring and completely original experience for sports fans all over the world. Now you can relive the #1 sports upset of the 20th Century in a whole new way, through new eyes and a new voice. Still as fresh and exciting as the day it happened. If you know any hockey players or hockey fans, send them the link. They should all see it.

Unbelievable... I have so much to say. My mom told me that her and her dad missed 75% of church just to watch this. My uncle was in the U.S. Navy at that time. the day after this, the Russians flew over his base and released a banner that read, "Congratulations!" curtchaplin, great job!!!

I was 3 years old when this happened and I have a vague memory of my parents jumping up and down and screaming in the living room.
