Another 'Miracle on Ice'? NY explores bid for future Winter Olympics

Is the day coming when we'll see another "Miracle on Ice" in New York? State officials are piecing together a bid to host a future Winter Olympic Games, according to The Athletic . They are hoping to create sports memories for future generations like the United States hockey team's legendary upset of the Soviet Union in the 1980 Winter Olympics. “I’ve actually been having significant meetings on this, putting together the individuals who I would want to be part of a committee," New York Governor Kathy Hochul told the publication. "It’s complicated, but we are up for it. As someone who will never forget the 1980 Olympics, I was in college when the Miracle on Ice occurred. “I was actually working behind the counter in the pizzeria, listening to it on the radio and announcing to all the restaurant patrons what was happening play-by-play. I’ve been there many times. To me, it is a shrine to the perseverance of American athletes at that time that we still have with us today." The plan is to create a bid for New York City to co-host the Winter Olympics with Lake Placid, which hosted the Winter Olympics in 1980 and 1932 .

Rappaport broke into the boxing world in 1976 but it was when guiding Cooney, alongside Mike Jones, that the manager and promoter really came into prominence.
