  • “Miracle on Ice”: the Unofficial Battle of the Cold War Spring 2014
    1 Caitlin Schmelzer “Miracle on Ice”: The Unofficial Battle of the Cold War Spring 2014 2 “Miracle on Ice”: The Unofficial Battle of the Cold War The USSR-US Olympic hockey match during the 1980 Winter Olympics became a symbol of the politicization of the international sports arena and served as a pseudo-battle during the Cold War between capitalist America and communist Russia with the Americans as the victors. First, I will explore the history of Soviet and American athletic programs and their past- politicized athletic experiences in order to prove the notion of sport as a means to air international conflicts. Then I will explain the political tensions occurring between the U.S. and Soviet Union during the 1980 Winter Olympics. Furthermore, I will evaluate the physical nature of hockey against the events of the match. Additionally, I will describe the reactions of the athletes and people of both nations to the contest. Lastly, I will examine the response of Soviet and U.S. leadership to the event, along with the U.S. political exploitation of the American peoples’ morale. Physical Culture in the Soviet Union In order to understand the degree to which the Soviet Union placed political validation on athletics, one needs to have an understanding of the intensity to which the government controlled physical culture throughout the state. 1 I will be focusing on the structure of the program in which the Soviet players of the 1980 Olympic hockey team participated from the 1960’s through the 1980’s. The athletic program was formed on the basis of creating a stronger communist society, one that could prove the supremacy of the socialist ideology, as well as politically validate the Soviet state on an international stage.
