When Scott Dukette left his hometown of Plattsburgh, New York, to attend college, he never imagined he'd return for more than the occasional family visit. But as retirement approached, Scott and his wife, Barbara, couldn't pass up the chance to buy a home directly on Lake Champlain—for just $210,000. Now, they spend their summers soaking up life on what's known as “the Adirondack Coast” or “the poor man's Vermont.” Although Plattsburgh may seem secluded, there is plenty to do including lounging on a beautiful beach, and it is not far from Montreal, Canada; Burlington, Vermont; and Lake Placid, New York. Find out more about the Dukettes' lakeside adventure on Episode 212 of Retire There with Gil & Gene. #retirethere #retiretherepodcast #retirewhere #retireabroad #retirehere #wheretoretire #retireearly #bestplacetoretire #retirement #retirementplanning #babyboomers #genxers #plattsburgh #plattsburghnewyork #plattsburghny #lakechamplain #adirondackcoast #poormansvermont #adk #adirondackmountains #adirondackpark #lakegeorge #adirondacks #upstateny #saratogasprings #lakegeorgeny #newyork #iloveny #lakeplacid #upstatenewyork #ny #lakelife #saratoga #adks #adklife #adirondacklife

Lisa Nordén blev hela Sveriges triatlondrottning efter den osannolika målgången i OS i London 2012, där hon förlorade guldet med nio tusendelar. Vi är många som minns exakt var vi var just i det ögonblicket. Men vad hände sedan? I det här avsnittet berättar Lisa för första gången om allt som pågått bakom kulisserna efter OS-succén. Om den ofta osynliga vikthetsen i elitidrotten, att tävla med en kropp i hormonell obalans – och hur ett sent missfall i fjol ställde allt på ända. Vi pratar också om drömmen att bli mamma som elitidrottare, hennes spännande idé om nytt programformat på SVT och hur hon till slut lyckades bli skadefri efter år av stressfrakturer, hamstringsbristningar och plantar fasciit. Och så förstås: Ironman-vinsten i Lake Placid (hennes debut på Ironman!), hur hon tajmar energiintaget till träningspassen, skoval, sponsorkontrakt, ätstörningskultur och vad hon skulle säga till sitt 20-åriga jag. Ett varmt, ärligt och inspirerande samtal om att inte ge upp, även när vägen blir krokig.Tack för att du lyssnar!Följ Spring med Petra & CO i sociala medier:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/springmedpetraFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/springmedpetraFölj Petra:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maratonpetra Vill du lyssna reklamfritt?

45 years ago, a group of college kids pulled off the greatest upset in sports history, upending the powerhouse Soviet Union before taking out Finland for Olympic gold in Lake Placid. The backbone of the USA defense was Bowling Green stalwart Ken Morrow. In the discussion with Neil and Vic, Morrow talks about the Olympic experience, head coach Herb Brooks and the quick transition to the NHL where even greater success was to come.Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgBj1LV0-DMfBhcRPSJZLjAX: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #ShortShifts #NYCentric #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL #KenMorrow #1980UnitedStatesOlympicHockeyTeam #LakePlacid #MiracleGold #AllanKreda #BowlingGreenUniversity #WesternMichiganUniversity #HerbBrooks #USAHockey #CraigPatrick #JeanPotvin #BertMarshall #RonMason #DenisPotvin #ClarkGillies #PhiladelphiaFlyers #TorontoMapleLeafs #NewYorkRangers #ButchGoring #MinnesotaNorthStars #VancouverCanucks #EdmontonOilers #WayneGretzky #MarkMessier #BobNystrom #MontrealCanadiens #StefanPersson #DaveLangevin #DuaneSutter #BobBourne #KurtRussell #GoldieHawn #KarlMalden #Miracle #Disney #SteveGuttenberg #MikeEruzione #AlArbour #BillTorrey #LosAngelesKings #MarioLessard #AndyMoog #GlenHanlon #DonMaloney #MikaZibanejad #ChrisKreider #AdamFox #JTMiller #VincentTrocheck #JackHughes #EricHaula #JesperBratt #BrockNelson #FourNationsFaceoff #NorrisTrophy #ChrisDrury #IgorShesterkin #BuffaloSabres #PittsburghPenguins #WashingtonCapitals #TorontoMapleLeafs #NashvillePredators #DallasStars #CaseyCizikas #LianBischel #LouLamoriello #UBSArena #IlyaSorokin #NicoHischier #NicoDaws #BostonBruins #ColoradoAvalanche #UtahHockeyClub #VegasGoldenKnights #AlTrautwig #MSGNetwork #NewYorkKnicks #SportsEmmyAwards #JohnDavidson #SamRosen #Indianapolis500 #TourdeFrance #USOpenTennis #NewYorkMarathon

We'll be back with a brand new edition of TV Confidential later this week. In the meantime, please enjoy this clip from February 2015 in which Tony, Donna, and Ed remember the Miracle on Ice, the U.S. men's hockey team's win over the Soviet Union's men's hockey team in the medal-round game on Feb. 22, 1980 during the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York.

4 Nations Face-Off has been a huge success for the NHL. Can hockey continue to find replacements for its All-Star game? From Chris Paul and Victor Wembanyama's elimination from the Skills Challenge for cutting corners to an Dunk Contest 3-peat by a non-NBA player to a revamped All-Star Game format, NBA All-Star weekend was a flop. Can it be fixed or should it just be nixed? Suits: LA is coming to NBC. We're talking with the show's biggest stars. We'll go down memory lane ahead of the 45th anniversary of the Miracle on Ice with someone who was in the arena in Lake Placid that day in 1980. And, the Albany FireWolves are hosting a Women in Sports Panel ahead of Saturday's home game.
