Russian Igor Kleynor shares his memories of the Miracle on Ice as a 13-year-old expecting the Soviet team to win and recalls his reaction to the Lake Placid game. Team USA beat the Soviet team in an unexpected upset on February 22, 1980 and went on to win the gold medal game against Finland just two days later. Kelynor currently writes for the hockey blog Russian Machine Never Breaks.
