Getting ready for the Winter Olympics, flashes from the past

Winter Olympics 2006, Torino, Italy — Here is one of the closing songs featuring Hayley Westenra & Andrea Bocelli, singing Time to Say Goodbye. The Italians know how to put on a show.

Winter Olympics 2002, Salt Lake City, Utah — Dorothy Hamil the 1976 Olympic Games Gold Medalist chosen for the gold by all nine judges, skates to Somewhere Over the Rainbow sung by Harry Connick, Jr.

This is the best compilation of the 1980 Winter Olympics Miracle on Ice USA vs. USSR hockey game in Lake Placid, NY, that I could find. It is still one of the great upsets in international sports.
