Thanks, Debra, That was a great game, and just as much of a nail-biter, too. And terrific hockey, I must say. In some ways I feel better about that one than the men's gold. There's the adversity of being underdogs, but also, they are true amateurs. Anyone out there remember back when the Olympics were supposed to be for amateurs? Not that they were all "really" amateurs, especially from those countries that used "amateur" sports for propaganda purposes, but I digress...
Now that hockey is a true international sport, it's hard to imagine that any one country will easily sweep both men's and women's golds again. Truly a proud day for our country... regards, frank Debra Wilborn wrote: > Let's not forget the women's match. Now THAT was a > game! I was cheering for the home team (USA!
