Feb. 26, 2026- Assemblymember Robert Carroll, a Brooklyn Democrat, lays out his pitch for New York to host a future winter Olympics, with Lake Placid and New York City hosting various games.

EPISODE BEGINS AT 6:52 MARKUSA 2, Canada 1 (OT): Jack Hughes etches his name into history with the 1:41 OT winner. We discuss Hellebuyck's legendary 41-save clinic and the 46th anniversary of Lake Placid. Olympic Observations: Final thoughts on Milano Cortina. Norway's record-breaking dominance and Team USA's best Winter showing in decades.#ChoicesOfTheVoices: The Final Piece Puzzle. In the spirit of Sam Darnold, which player was the "final piece" that turned a contender into a champion?#ARoundOfPepper #WalkOffShot: We are transitioning the heat!

SEASON 4 EPISODE 62: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: In case you somehow missed it, Kash Patel's enablers at the FBI (Fan Boys International) were busily denying he went to Italy for the Olympics just to see the hockey game and jock-sniff the victorious U.S. team when all sorts of video leaked out of the dressing room showing him doing exactly that - dancing, drinking, cringing. And then Patel himself couldn't resist Supposedly we sent 100 agents to help with security and he just had to be there. Guesstimated cost just for his latest stage of his perpetual vacation on our dime? $400,000. It would be bad - a future administration will probably address it as misappropriation of funds. But what makes it worse is there's a piece by Patel from 2022 complaining about previous FBI directors wasting money on vacation, and a clip about his FBI predecessor Christopher Wray's vacation travel. Simply impeaching him is insufficient. He needs to go to prison. NOT THAT TRUMP WOULD DO THAT; THIS IS THE BEHAVIOR TRUMP TEACHES: Trump is a thief and he owes you and me at least 293 billion dollars - and we want it back. The worst thief in American history - and 270 billion of that is in tariffs. Because on tariffs, the Supreme Court has given him his COMEUPPANCE. Well – it’s given him A comeuppance. Because his new argument for the new REPLACEMENT Monday tariffs was his old argument AGAINST overturning the old Friday tariffs. But the key thing the Court actually did was give his cult a mortal shock. It is the first official body to give the Trump-Town Guyana Death Cult the message: that he is making this crap up, as he goes ALONG. -- Plus: an actual good idea from Boris Johnson: to send peacekeepers to Ukraine – NOW. And I’M the guy who thinks the Hockey Gold Medal is a BAD THING. And no, the John Barron who called into C-SPAN wasn’t Trump – he was too coherent. B-Block (40:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Mark Zuckerberg manages to lose a lawsuit before the trial starts, Kid Rock proves he's not charging $5000 for front row tickets by confessing he IS charging $5000 for front row tickets, and Stephen Miller's wife has another one of those Freudian slips that may be desperate pleas for help from inside a bad situation. C-Block (50:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Baseball has already started so time for my annual explanation: why I don't work for baseball's TV network even though they offered me my own show and I accepted it. It has to do with a big league club threatening them if they didn't renege.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A 46-year drought ends. A goalie stands on his head. A player loses two teeth and wins gold. And the outrage? Not about the game — but about loving America. From the “Marvel in Milan” to media fury over patriotism and FBI Director travel drama, today's show dives into the culture clash ignited by Team USA's Olympic moment.

Team USA ends a 46-year Olympic gold drought in Milan with a bleeding, toothless overtime hero and a goalie performance for the ages. But the real meltdown? Not Canada. It's the media reaction to loving America. From the “Marvel in Milan” to therapy sessions over the U.S. flag, we break it all down.

1980 Team USA Olympic Gold Medalist Rob McClanahan joins 365 Sports to react to the United States capturing Olympic gold for the first time since his legendary Miracle on Ice team did it in Lake Placid. McClanahan shares what it meant to watch this new generation of American players embrace the brotherhood of USA Hockey, reflects on how Herb Brooks would have viewed this team, and explains the similarities between the 1980 squad and today's group led by Connor Hellebuyck and Jack Hughes. He also discusses the emotional tribute to Johnny Gaudreau and why this victory is another defining moment in the legacy of USA Hockey.#nhl #usahockey #usa #america #olympics #canada #johnnyhockey #fyp #fyp; Learn more about your ad choices.

Yes we know that's a lengthy title. By the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York, it had been 20 years since the U.S. won the gold. Those two decades saw a dominance unlike any other at the time by the Soviet Union and their seemingly unbeatable team. The Cold War was front and center. Expectations were pretty low for the U.S. Men's team going into the games but through a series of lucky events a man named Herb Brooks was put in the driver seat. Herb was coming off a NCAA Hockey National Championship in 1979 at the University of Minnesota and looked to create a team that could stand toe to toe with the Soviets using creativity and team chemistry. Now we should note this comes at a time when professional athletes didn't compete on olympic national teams. This team would be comprised of college athletes, many from Minnesota and many from Boston, and oh man some of these guys did not like each other, carrying over rivalries from school. They only had about 7 months to become a team capable of doing what many believed impossible. Well if you know the story, you know they did, and what follows would come to be known as The Miracle on Ice. Support the show

Aflevering 23 met de eerste vier Olympische Winterspelen!The primary focus of this podcast episode is the inaugural Olympic Winter Games held in 1924 in Chamonix, France, which emerged as a significant milestone in the history of winter sports. Initially conceived as a subsidiary program to the Summer Olympics in Paris, the games garnered such acclaim that they were retroactively labeled as the first Olympic Winter Games after the Norwegian objection was withdrawn. The episode delves into the notable achievements of athletes, particularly highlighting Norway's dominance in skiing and skating, while also recognizing the participation of other nations and the unique circumstances surrounding the event. We examine the statistics of participation, including the stark gender disparity among athletes, and reflect upon the evolving nature of the Winter Olympics as subsequent events unfolded. Furthermore, we discuss the broader implications of these games in the context of international sports and their legacy, setting the stage for future competitions. The exploration of the inaugural Olympic Winter Games, which took place in Chamonix in 1924, unveils a historical tapestry woven with both triumph and contention. Initially conceived as a supplementary event to the Summer Games in Paris, the Winter Games garnered such remarkable success that they were retroactively declared an official Olympic event, contingent upon the withdrawal of objections from Norway, which had its own winter sports competition. This episode meticulously details the geopolitical landscape of the time, highlighting how the absence of notable nations such as Russia, Germany, and the Netherlands shaped the competitive field. The narrative further delves into the performances, with Norway emerging as the dominant force, claiming the majority of the medals, while the dynamics of participation and competition are examined through the lens of the limited number of athletes and nations present. This foundational moment sets a precedent for future Winter Games, illustrating the evolution of winter sports on a global stage. In a reflective analysis of the first Olympic Winter Games, the conversation meanders through the complexities of sportsmanship and national pride, emphasizing the significance of Chamonix as a pivotal location in Olympic history. The episode elucidates the cultural ambiance of Chamonix, described as a fashionable winter resort, juxtaposed against the backdrop of sporting excellence and national representation. The dialogue also touches upon the peculiarities of the early Winter Games, such as the introduction of sports like figure skating and ice hockey, which had previously been included in the Summer Games. The intriguing case of Kylis Krevstem, who uniquely defended his title from the Summer Olympics, serves as a focal point of discussion, highlighting the interconnectedness of winter and summer sports in this nascent period of Olympic competition. Through a serious and analytical lens, this summary encapsulates the essence of the episode, articulating the multifaceted themes of competition, culture, and the socio-political undercurrents of the time. The examination of the evolution of the Olympic Winter Games from their inception in 1924 to subsequent iterations reveals a narrative rich in historical significance and transformation. The podcast delves into the intricacies of the Chamonix Games, the subsequent Winter Games in St. Moritz, and the implications of the Lake Placid Games, all while emphasizing the growth of participation and the increasing prominence of female athletes. Notably, the transition from a predominantly male-dominated field to the inclusion of women in competitive events is articulated with a focus on the societal shifts that accompanied these changes. The episode critically evaluates the implications of the American dominance in Lake Placid, where the competitive format sparked controversies regarding fairness...

In this episode Nicole talks with Jill Brabec, President of Nordic Combined USA, about one of the Olympics' oldest sports that still excludes women. Nordic Combined blends ski jumping and cross country skiing, requiring athletes to launch themselves down steep terrain at maximum speed, fly the length of a football field, then immediately race 5K on skinny skis. Despite being in the Olympics since 1924, women were denied entry to the 2026 Games. Jill, a Steamboat Springs ski mom turned advocate, formed a nonprofit with other parents to save the US team when funding collapsed. Her daughter Alexa trains in Norway but can't compete in the Olympics due to gender restrictions. The IOC will decide about 2030 inclusion this spring after reviewing 2026 data. Jill draws parallels to women's ski jumping, which faced identical arguments 15 years ago and is now successful. She encourages fans to watch men's Nordic Combined February 11, 17, and 19 to show viewership demand, sign the petition at nordiccombineusa.org, and follow athletes on social media. The sport features 17 World Cups for women who jump the same hills as men and train at Lake Placid, Park City, and Steamboat Springs.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 56: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: In destroying The Washington Post yesterday, Trump-fluffer Jeff Bezos has gone far enough. Democratic leaders must commit to using anti-trust laws to destroy Amazon, Prime, Blue Origin - and Bezos, financially. Every would-be president, senator, representative must vow to break the oligarchs - Bezos, Musk, Trump, and all the rest. Bezos first hollowed out the Post to make it servile to Trump and his gang. Now he's destroyed its foreign and sports desks, and its viability as a counterweight to the anti-democracy forces abroad in the land. All so he could spend $75,000,000 or more on a vanity project designed to tell Trump a life: that his wife is an attractive "movie star." We are not going back to the America of 1885. We must bankrupt Jeff Bezos. (And I apologize for the slipshod nature of this episode. I'm under the weather, throat bad, was planning to postpone this episode but this could not wait. Please forgive for the extemporaneous nature of the commentary; the rest of the show is interesting but not new) B-Block (30:00) OLYMPICS TIME: As the 2026 games begin in Italy let me take you back to the most famous winter games yet: the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics, which I covered as a 21-year old rookie with United Press International (while my bosses tried to teach me how to work and drink at the same time).

Max Gershberg and Jake Rogal, co-directors of Miracle: The Boys of '80, a Netflix documentary that revisits one of the most iconic moments in sports history — the “Miracle on Ice.” The film tells the true story of the 1980 U.S. Olympic men's hockey team, a scrappy group of mostly amateur players who shocked the world by defeating the heavily favored Soviet Union during the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York.
