Athletistic/Basketball. Former American basketball player Ed Ratleff recalled the famous 1972 Olympics match between teams from the United States and the USSR.

Three seconds before the end of the game, the Americans, after all, with a score of 50:49, but the USSR team finally won 51:50 and won the Olympics.

“The basketball players of the USSR know that we actually won the final, not them. It was just that at the time it was important for them to win and it didn’t matter how it was achieved. They s didn’t care, they were considered kings. In the United States, if we won gold, it would be like nothing,” Ratleff said.
