Was it a Russian team? Wasn't there a movie made about it? Miracle Something-or-other.

I think she's right.  I seem to remember the Russians had a few Latino-looking guys.

No sorry - No Latinos or Russians

Most think it was the famous game against the Russians.  But that was the semi final game. Movie was Miracle on Ice.

Who was the opponent in the Gold Medal game?

I think it was Finland or Norway, if not, then Sweden.  Definitely wasn't Canada.  Who else plays hockey, Czech Republic?

Finland?

Good Job Kiwi, (one of your answers has to be correct)

The Olympic Hockey tournament in those days used a round robin format. The US had one more game to play after Russia and they beat Finland. The US team had to come back from behind 2-1 in the last period against Finland and did. But Finland finished fourth overall and out of the medals.

Many people think the Russian game was the gold medal game, and many of those that know the US played Finland think Finland won the silver medal. Both wrong assumptions and either could have made good trivia questions.

Oh wait no it wasn't Norway. go the broncos

Gold - USA
Silver - Russia
Bronze - Sweeden

Ok, easy one.

What color are the "black boxes" in airplanes, and where are they stored in the plane?

They are orange (or sometimes red).  They are (as far as I know) usually stored somewhere in the tail, as they are more likely to survive an impact.

Your turn.
