Mine is a winter olympic moment, but it was the 1980 USA hockey gold medal performance and victory over the USSR. I was 11 years old. It is arguably the most unexpected performance in the history of sports, and it came at a time when America was at a low point in terms of the Iran hostage crisis and in relations with the Soviet Union. I know some people here are too young to remember that...but for me there is no second place in terms of Olympic history.

In 2006 seeing the USA womens Hockey team lose to Sweden in a shootout.... I know some of you are probably thinking I am just anti-american at this point.

But being involved with womens hockey at a high level that was the healthies thing for womens hockey on a global scale... (would have been better for Canada's women to lose, but still very big for the US women to lose)

Womens Ice Hockey was going through a stage where the Olympics were considering dropiing it for a few years until teams around the world come compete with the USA & Canada, and then along came Sweden.

So for me that was a defining moment.

Well you stole mine lol, it had to be the pic of Tina and Lisa hugging after we won the gold medal.

Another one was when forgive me I dont' remember the young ladies name from the gymnastics team she hurt her ankle I think and still manged to finish it, That was really awesome 2 me..

There are so many, I just can't remember much right now lol..

When Lisa got her ponytail weave pulled out by LJ in the gold medal game!!!!! omg. i was sooooo weak, it's not even funny!! Lisa had this loooong, cascading ponytail going down her back. Then after LJ pulled it out, she had this short little stub on top of her head!

During the interviews on TV after the game, Lisa said: "I have one thing to say: they can have the hair......BUT WE GOT THE GOLD!!!!" roflmao

Since there's already a nice long thread on this topic in Area 51, can we not start another thread? Having two threads on the same thing is too confusing.

Well, the difference would be in the Area51 thread, it would be tailored more towards Olympics in general - whatever sport you were thinking of.

Here, it would likely be related to women's basketball.

I don't get where the confusion comes from. It's not like it's hurting anyone. I mean really, what is there to be confused about? Either respond or don't.

You're right, most of them are people complaining that the thread exists because apparently they don't get the hint.

Just so everyone is aware, a lot of people don't spend much time in Area51. That means, if there is no thread here, they don't know about it. And this is not a situation as clear cut as WCBB vs. WNBA.

There are over twenty topics related to the Olympics on the first page of the WNBA forum*.

One of my favorite moments was in 1996 watching women's basketball when the announcers mentioned a WNBA starting the following summer.

I thought, "I'll have to check that out."



*Well, there were anyway

When I first read this topic, I did not know there was an Area 51 posting either. I seldom go there, and had not even read Krush's post about the Area 51 thread until after I had posted mine.
