Book Synopsis A Long Shot to Glory by : Michael Burgess

Book excerpt: Sometimes life is like a movie. There are moments and events in life - not often - that are as exciting and as dramatic as a movie. What happened in Lake Placid, New York in February 1980 at the Thirteenth Winter Olympics was such a time. For those who experienced it in person or watched the games on television, they remember where they were when the US hockey team beat the Soviet Union and then beat the team from Finland two days later to win the gold medal. The sports victory of an underdog group of college kids was thrilling enough but it was a win against the Soviet Union. This Cold War adversary was also the nation hosting the summer games later that year which the United States was threatening to boycott. The excitement and drama in Lake Placid gave the games a huge lift of enthusiasm and popularity when some had even come to believe that staging the Olympics was no longer affordable for many communities and that perhaps the 1980 Winter Games should be cancelled entirely. Indeed, as the games began, a US News and World Report magazine questioned whether the Lake Placid games were the "last Olympics." What happened on the hockey ice was improbable enough, but the Lake Placid Winter Games were a long shot, if not a miracle too. Winning the games had been an unlikely decades-long quest for this small town to overcome the barriers of exploding finances, environmental concerns and world politics. Few remember that the 1980 games were never supposed to take place in Lake Placid. They came to the small village because of unexpected events which unfolded and made the two weeks in the remote Adirondacks before a worldwide audience of nearly a billion viewers one of the most dramatic times in the modern era of sports, media and politics. It would not be too much of a stretch to say that the Lake Placid Games, which brought the "Miracle on Ice," saved the Winter Olympics in 1980 and greatly enhanced them for the future.

Book Synopsis Lake Placid and the Winter Olympics by : Michael Burgess
Download or read book Lake Placid and the Winter Olympics written by Michael Burgess and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book (originally titled A Long Shot to Glory) tells the story of how the small Adirondack Mountain community of Lake Placid became the only American site to host the Winter Olympics twice. Early in the 20th century, winter sports were introduced in Lake Placid. Athletes from the village competed in the first Winter Olympics in Chamonix, France and then made a successful bid to host the third winter games in 1932. After World War II, Lake Placid's civic and sports leaders worked for over twenty five years to get the games returned to Lake Placid. Finally, they were successful and the 1980 Winter Olympics were held in Lake Placid with the "Miracle on Ice" and many other memorable moments. Lake Placid continues to send athletes to every winter games and remains as an Olympic training facility for United States athletes. It has become known as "the Olympic Village" and is reminder of the true spirit of the Olympic movement.
Book Synopsis Lake Placid Figure Skating by : Christie Sausa
Download or read book Lake Placid Figure Skating written by Christie Sausa and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012-08-07 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Figure skating has always had an important home in Lake Placid. Early on, the Sno Birds popularized this summer retreat, and Melville and Godfrey Dewey won the campaign for the 1932 Winter Olympics. The Skating Club of Lake Placid was formed, and after 1932, famous skaters trained here with legendary coach Gus Lussi. When Lake Placid again hosted the Olympics in 1980, skating dominated, with state-of-the-art facilities that have continued to be used by stars like Dorothy Hamill and Sarah Hughes, and helped give rise to Scott Hamilton's Stars on Ice. For more than one hundred years, the Lake Placid community has worked together to support figure skating and skaters in this quiet Adirondack village. Local expert Christie Sausa tells this exciting story.
