There was a time when the Olympics were only for amateurs. Of course “amateurs“ included members of the Soviet army whose only job was to practice their Olympic sport. Perhaps the sweetest victory I ever watched was the year that our truly amateur Olympic hockey team beat the Soviet union team. “The miracle on ice“

To me, that's cheating if they want it that bad, they can have it. That's how I see it.

“The miracle on ice“

That's why it's a classic.
