US Olympic Games hockey legend Jim Craig wants fans to ‘Run Back the Miracle’

Sports news

The year was 1980, and a miracle happened.

What the United States hockey team did at Lake Placid all those years ago still seems hard to believe. It is arguably the biggest upset in sporting history and it is one that Americans hold with great pride as it instilled a belief that anything truly was possible. David can indeed beat Goliath.

One of the main characters and players from that U.S. team, goaltender Jim Craig, was kind enough to join us here at SB Nation this week as he and his teammates from those days are prepping to “Run Back the Miracle.” You can watch our conversation below.

Craig spoke to me from within the very same locker room that he and the Americans got dressed in for their match against the Soviet Union. Herb Brooks and I both held court with Jim Craig while he was seated in that room, if you really want to look at it that way!

Aside from offering all sorts of advice that has clearly helped Jim have an amazing life following the moment in question, he told me about how he and his teammates have teamed up with Michelob ULTRA to “Run Back the Miracle” ahead of the Olympic Winter Games. Today, Thursday, January 15th, they are having a throwback event with all sorts of technology in place to help fans re-live the iconic moment.

Fans in attendance will have the opportunity to interact with everything and get excited for the upcoming Olympics as noted.

Go United States. Then. Now. Always.

This was not one of those years.The 2026 MLB trade deadline had a bit of everything, a generational superstar on the move and a true depth of important players landing on new teams. Now that the dust is mostly settled, it’s time to see how these players perform for their clubs. A number of clubs can credibly claim they got exactly what they wanted at the deadline and came out better for it.Which team won the trade deadline?Even while there is no doubt who the biggest star was moved before the deadline, the Dodgers acquiring Tarik Skubal, there is no guarantee as to who will make the biggest difference this season. The Dodgers are already full of stars, and Skubal is only going every fifth day. A player like Clay Holmes going to the Cubs might make a bigger difference to a team still trying to make a run. Or Adley Rutschman, an emerging star at catcher, who is going to theoretically propel the Red Sox every day through the final stretch.Which player will make the biggest difference? #MLB #Reacts #Fallout #trade #deadline

Indian javelin throw ace Neeraj Chopra threw light on the fitness struggles he underwent in the last 10 months through an Instagram post.

The 28-year-old two-time Olympic medallist, who recently won silver at the Commonwealth Games with a season’s best throw of 85.83m, has been hampered by an adductor muscle injury and a few other niggles along with it.

“There are throws that travel far, and then there are moments that carry the weight of an entire journey. The past 10 months has tested me in ways I never expected,”

“Recovering from multiple injuries, rebuilding my body, finding my rhythm again, and learning to be patient when all I wanted was to compete. I was training every day without knowing if I will even have a season to compete this year,” he revealed.

In Glasgow, Neeraj was bested by current world leader Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage of Sri Lanka (89.75m) in windy conditions.

“To be back competing at this level feels good. None of this would have been possible on my own. I’m deeply grateful for the people who never stopped believing in me. My physio, Ishaan (Marwaha) ji who has been by my side every step of the recovery, helping me get back to doing what I love.

“My coach, Jai (Chaudhary), who has been with me since the very first time I picked up a javelin. My family, that always stand strong with me no matter what the circumstances are. The season continues, one step at a time,” he said.

Neeraj will be next in action in the Lausanne Diamond League on August 21.
