Who broke the dream of five consecutive championships of Soviet ice hockey in the history of Winter Olympics?

The United States team broke the dream of five consecutive Soviet ice hockey championships in the history of the Winter Olympics.

With the approach of the Beijing Winter Olympics, ice and snow events have gradually attracted attention in China. In fact, there is a country in history where ice and snow events have always dominated the world, especially ice hockey. This country is the former Soviet Union. Although it has disintegrated, its achievements in ice hockey have not been surpassed so far. Canada is a traditional ice and snow power, but it is held back by the Soviet Union in ice hockey. The former Soviet Union won the ninth to twelfth ice hockey championships, but when it was about to win five consecutive championships, it met the American team. This game is a miracle, and it is still regarded as the greatest game in America, because the ups and downs of the game inspired a group of young people to join American ice hockey. Let's talk about this game:

First, the bumpy team

In the 1960s, the International Olympic Committee implemented a policy that made some professional athletes unable to participate in the competition and had to go to universities to select talents. Under such conditions, the American team was established. At that time, only one of the personnel selected by legendary coach Herb Brooks had experience in the Winter Olympics, and the rest were rookie athletes, but it was this team that created miracles.

Second, stumbling forward.

The underrated American team didn't perform well in the first game, but then it beat the traditional strong teams one after another, which was regarded as a miracle before entering the final. No one thought that they would beat the Soviet team.

Third, a miracle was born.

This team played a warm-up match with the Soviet team three days before the Winter Olympics, and the result was a fiasco, which made the Soviet team look down on their opponents psychologically. Because the head coach of the Soviet Union made an unwise substitution when the scores of the two sides were tied, the American team seized the opportunity to overtake the score and created a miracle.
