I was covering the 1988 S...Great story and thanks! I was covering the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. In the lobby of my hotel I encountered a bunch of Soviet Olympic dignitaries and among them was Soviet Goalie, Vladislav Tretiak. In my best Russian I greeted him and asked how he was. Vlad just growled, turned away and began to walk away. The words I shouted next were purely reflexive, "HEY, VLADISLAV! DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES? YES!" Tretiak responded by casually flipping me the bird over his shoulder. Once again, a most glorious victory for the USA!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411556218654680914noreply@blogger.com
