Russians Fall to Czechoslovakia in Olympic Hockey Upset
In Grenoble the defending champions Russia lost 5-4 to Czechoslovakia, ending a streak since 1963 and spurring talk of a possible boycott of the Mexico City Summer Games. Canada’s 3-0 win over Sweden intensified a three way race for hockey gold with Russia, Canada, and Czechoslovakia each at 5-1 with one round to play. The United States beat West Germany 6-4 but remain out of medal contention as Peggy Fleming and Nancy Greene led gold and strong showings in various events. The IOC admitted South Africa for the Summer Games amid protests, while officials warned of possible boycotts by Russia and some nations.
