Olympic games 1992 ice hockey results. The last Olympic gold
1956, Cortina D'Ampezzo (Italy)
The seventh Winter Olympic Games were held in the Italian town of Cortina d'Ampezzo, at an altitude of about 1200 meters above sea level.
The USSR team performed for the first time at the White Olympics.
Representatives of the Soviet Union (53 people) participated in competitions in skiing, speed run ice skating and hockey.
The team of the CSK MO was taken as the basis for the USSR Olympic team.
“The USSR national team started the competition just brilliantly, winning both of their matches with a total score of 15: 4. The Swedes were defeated with a score of 5: 1, and our hockey players made a real mess for the Swiss. Final result 10:3 in favor of the USSR national team today looks incredible, but then it was a real reflection of things."
Our team made its debut at the 1956 Italian Olympics and for the first time in history became the Olympic ice hockey champion. The invincible Canadians lost out of desperation to the US team (1:4), eventually becoming only bronze medalists. It was a real failure for the Maple Leaves.
The best player of the Soviet team in 1956 - Vsevolod Bobrov. The unique hockey player played both hockey and football superbly. Bobrov is the only one in history Olympic Games athlete captain of the USSR national teams that competed at the Olympic Games: in 1952 - football, in 1956 - hockey.
The prize awarded to the most productive team of the Russian Ice Hockey Championship was named after Vsevolod Bobrov. One of the divisions of the Continental hockey league. The ice sports palace built in Stupino bears the name of Vsevolod Mikhailovich.

1984 Sarajevo (Yugoslavia)
The Soviet hockey players won the 1984 Olympics brilliantly - seven wins in seven matches, 48 goals scored and only five missed! And the main rivals that made it to the final four - the national teams of Czechoslovakia, Sweden and Canada - were defeated with a total score of 16:1.
Losers in the last tournament (1980), when our world championship did not take place, Soviet hockey players were looking for meetings with offenders - the Americans. But by the will of fate, the latter avoided an unpleasant match for themselves. At the preliminary stage, we ended up with the Americans in different subgroups. And then they planted a symbolic pig on us by simply not reaching the final tournament.

1992 Albertville (France)
1804 athletes representing the National Olympic committees(NOC) 65 countries of the world. It was record number participants in the entire history of the Winter Olympics. A few months before that, the USSR collapsed.
Questions immediately arose about the status of the team, its financing, staffing, preparation and participation in the Olympics. Finally it was decided that Olympic team former USSR will act as a united team of the Commonwealth of Independent States - CIS under the Olympic flag. In honor of the winners and prize-winners from the CIS team, the olympic flag. The CIS team did not have a guarantee money contribution to pay it to the French NOC for participation in the Olympic Games, as well as to send it to Albertville. In the end, these problems, which had never arisen before, were resolved and the team of the former USSR ended up at the 1992 Olympics. Many of the best hockey players of the former Soviet Union no longer found these events in their country, because they had already begun to conclude lucrative contracts with Western clubs , long before the official collapse of the USSR. During the games in Calgary four years ago, many predicted that the stars of the USSR youth team: Alexander Mogilny, Sergei Fedorov and Pavel Bure would become the next great three of the Soviet Union in 1990. But by the start of the games in Albertville, all three were already playing in the National Hockey League.
During the 1989 off-season, officials from the Soviet Ice Hockey Federation let many hockey players go west. Over the next two seasons, 34 internationals left the Soviet Union. By the 1991-92 season, 23 more national team players had left the country, including Valery Kamensky, Vladimir Konstantinov and Vyacheslav Kozlov.
The CIS ice hockey team was filled with young little-known players, as all the leading players went overseas to play for various professional NHL clubs. As a result of the preliminary competition, in which 12 teams took part, teams from the USA, Sweden, Canada and the CIS managed to get into the semifinals. Athletes hockey team The CIS unexpectedly easily outplayed the US team in the semifinals of the leader of the first preliminary group with a score of 5:2, and in the final of the Canadians with a score of 3:1. This victory was the last for the USSR / CIS / Russia teams in the framework of the Olympic Games. The 1992 Olympic Games were the last for the Czechoslovak team, already at the next Olympics, this union broke up into two independent states - the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Victory under the Olympic flag
The last Olympic victory of our team today took place at the Olympics in Albertville. In the final, the CIS team beat the Canadians.
The French city of Albertville became the capital of the 1992 Olympics, and all the matches of the hockey tournament were held in Maribel.
Our team performed under the name of the CIS team, or the "United Team", as they called it in the West. The team had neither a flag nor an anthem - instead of a red banner, they raised the Olympic flag and sounded olympic anthem. The abbreviation USSR disappeared, but the bright red uniform, the authoritative coach Viktor Tikhonov, as well as excellent craftsmanship remained.
"No, we clearly understood that behind us is a huge country, no matter how it is called. There was an understanding of who we were playing for. And there was a patriotic ideology that was drummed into us all our lives. A very effective thing, in fact, because we did not ask questions that could unbalance us, but went out on the ice and did the job. Nothing was written on the form - only the names on the back. And on the front side - emptiness. The flag was Olympic and the anthem too. When it sounded before the matches, I “turned off the sound” and played in my head “Unbreakable Union…”. And it turned on!"- said the striker Vitaly Prokhorov.
The CIS national team at these Games was staffed with young hockey players, since all the leading players went overseas. During the Calgary Games four years earlier, many predicted that the stars of the USSR youth team Alexander Mogilny, Sergei Fedorov And Pavel Bure become the next big three. But by the start of the games in Albertville, all three were already playing in the NHL. In the off-season of 1989, officials of the Soviet Ice Hockey Federation released many hockey players to the West. Over the next two seasons, 34 national team players left the Soviet Union. By the 1991/92 season, 23 more national team players left the country, including Valery Kamensky, Vladimir Konstantinov And Vyacheslav Kozlov.
"After the Canada Cup, Tikhonov spoke with many of those who had not yet left for the NHL so that they would stay until the 92 Olympics. Indeed, at the Canada Cup there were already enough Enkhael players who could not play in Albertville: Fedorov, Kasatonov, Tatarinov, Gusarov, Semak ... Many remained: Zhamnov, Zhitnik, Dima Mironov, Malakhov, Kovalenko, Butsaev, Shtalenkov, Borshchevsky, me. Human
nine ten. And then everyone went," Vitaly Prokhorov recalled.
At the preliminary stage, all participants were divided into two groups of six teams, and according to the "each with each" system, the top four were determined, who got into the knockout games.
In Albertville, the CIS team played with club troikas: Spartak with Prokhorov, Boldin And Borshchevsky; "army" Kovalenko – Butsaev – Davydov, "Dynamo" Kovalev – Zhamnov – Petrenko; finally, superlink Bykov – Chomutov with those who joined them Khmylyov.
"In those conditions, this was the only way to gain an advantage over rivals. Now this may not work, but after spending several years together, we really understood each other with our eyes closed. At the same time, during the preparation for the Olympics, Tikhonov used different models and did not immediately come to this one. We did not have any confidence that we would get to Albertville precisely as a link. But ten days before the start of the Games, test matches began, and we managed to prove ourselves in matches with Austria and Canada. But that they take all three of us and will put us together, we understood only five days later", - said Prokhorov.
The CIS national team got into a group with the teams of Canada, France, Czechoslovakia, Norway and Switzerland. Here, the first three lines, having lost one game each, were occupied by Canadians, ours and Czechoslovaks. Canada ceded to the CIS 4:5 , but beat Czechoslovakia 5:1 , taking first place in additional indicators. The second place was taken by the team Viktor Tikhonov, which was prevented from rising higher by the defeat of the Czechoslovaks (3:4). The Swiss and Norwegians were left out of the quarterfinals, letting the French go ahead, who, in addition to victories over their competitors, gave battle to Canada (2:3) and Czechoslovakia (4:6), and only our team managed to beat the French without any problems 8:0 .
"The beginning of the Games somewhat relaxed us, because we met with not the strongest opponents - the Swiss and Norwegians. Next game with our age-old rivals, the CSFR team was unsuccessful for us. Basically, we lost it. Tikhonov scolded us very much for this defeat.
long, so next matches we came out extremely mobilized. They defeated the hosts of the French tournament, then had a difficult match with the Canadians, winning it. The match with the Finns also turned out to be quite simple, as, indeed, with the Americans in the semi-finals," the striker recalled Igor Boldin.
In the quarterfinals, our hockey players beat the Suomi team - 6:1 and reached the semi-finals, where they were to meet with the US team. Beating the Americans 5:2 , the CIS national team passed the final, where Canada was waiting for our hockey players.
"I remember the wild mood to win before the final match with the Canadians. We took over from the great players of the previous generation who left for the NHL. These people were winners, and this is very important - you just do not understand what a loss is. No, they also sometimes lost, but the defeat in any major tournament was a disaster. Less than a year before Albertville, I competed in the 1991 Canada Cup, where we finished fifth. We ourselves had such an explosion of emotions that we did not want to return to the country! Fifth place is a disgrace. And those who played six months later in France remembered this feeling very well.", - recalled striker Vitaly Prokhorov.
The match for gold with the Canadians turned out to be extremely hard. They hadn't won an Olympic gold medal for 40 years, and the 1992 tournament was supposed to restore hope to the nation. After all, the Soviet Union collapsed, and most of the best Soviet hockey players ended up in the NHL.
Canada sent a very formidable team, which included veterans with NHL experience such as defenseman Kurt Giles, as well as attackers Dave Hannan And Dave Tipette. Goalkeeper Sean Burke, who played in Calgary in 1988, there were disagreements over the contract with New Jersey, which allowed him to take part in his second Olympics. Finally, the first number in the 1991 draft Eric Lindros
stated that he would not sign a contract with the Quebec Nordiques, but would take part in Winter Games in France.
After 40 minutes of play, the numbers 0:0 were on the scoreboard. In the third period, the wards of Viktor Tikhonov, through the efforts of Boldin and Vyacheslav Butsaeva managed to score two goals. Canadians were able to play only one.
"The game with the Canadians was tough. The first two periods ended with a zero score, any mistake would have cost the victory in the tournament, and we understood this. The tension was incredible. And then Slava Butsaev scored a goal that the Canadian goalkeeper would dream about, in my opinion, it was Sean Burke, in nightmares. Slava threw from the goal line, and the puck, hitting either the shield, or the goalkeeper's skate, crawled into the near corner. It was a very important puck that allowed us to breathe easier. I scored my own goal, finishing off the puck after Borshchevsky's shot", Boldin said.
With less than two minutes left in the final match, the Canadians were desperately trying to level the score. After taking possession of the puck in his own zone, Canada rushed to the attack, the puck was picked up by Eric Lindros and crossed the blue line, making a pass that interrupted Vyacheslav Bykov.
Having recouped with his regular partner Andrey Khomutov, Bykov went into the zone and delivered an irresistible shot at the gates of the Canadian team. The puck whistled over the goalkeeper's trap. And that was the final victory.
Many recall the story that Tikhonov allegedly took the medal that was intended for the third goalkeeper Nikolai Khabibulin, and he was offended and then refused to play for the national team for a long time. Vitaly Prokhorov commented on it: " The fact that Tikhonov voluntarily took the Khabibulin medal for himself -
not true. It was IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch who came out with the initiative that for the merits of a coach who has won three gold medals in the last three Olympics, he should be given a medal. And from what fund, if they were not provided for coaches? Khabibulin was taken as the third goalkeeper, just so that the boy could see what the Olympics are. There were clearly two goalkeepers who had a chance to go on the ice - Shtalenkov and Trefilov. I don't understand what there is to be offended about. I wouldn't have had the brains for that, I would have given the medal to Tikhonov myself if I were in his place! It may be true that this story is blown up by journalists. And then there was the initiative of the President of the IOC. And he himself handed it to Tikhonov during the awards ceremony, as well as to all of us. Who should not be given a medal? Everyone played except one. Khabibulin did not take part in any game, moreover, he never undressed for them.
So, Bykov's goal marked the victory of the United Team (3:1) and extended the Canadians' 40-year losing streak. However, after that, the Russians began a sad series. The next five Olympics, the Russian team did not achieve victories.

Russia- Canada 3-1Officially, the Russian team was called amorphously the CIS team. As if this is a team of Chushmeks, Georgians, Moldovans ... or someone else - a tribute to national humiliation. But don't kid yourself, it was the Russian national team and even Kasparaitis had a Russian passport.

Lindros E. (Canada) - Bykov V. (Russia) - Loub H. (Sweden)The Olympic champion of Albertville in the CIS team, forward of the Moscow "Spartak" Igor Boldin recalls the events of the 1992 Olympic Games.
In the CIS championship, which has not yet ceased to be one of the strongest in the world after the collapse of the USSR, in 1992 the Spartak trio Nikolai Borshevsky-Igor Boldin-Vitaly Prokhorov shone. It is no wonder that Viktor Tikhonov chose them when he formed the team for the Olympic Games in Albertville.
Was the invitation to the Olympic team unexpected for you?
- Not really. In November 1991, I was taken to a tournament called the German Cup, in which we played three matches with the national teams of Czechoslovakia, Germany and Sweden. Our Spartak team stood out even then, and Viktor Tikhonov made it clear that we can count on the fact that we will play for the national team at the Olympics. After the New Year, our trio played for the national team in two friendly matches, and we have already begun to fully prepare for the Olympics.
- How did the process of preparing for the Olympics differ from the usual one?
- No, everything is normal. We spent two weeks at the training camp in Novogorsk, and two weeks later we flew to Switzerland in order to have time to adapt to the start of the Games. After all, we had to live and play in the mountains. At the same time, we took part in the tournament that took place there, playing with the national teams of Finland and Switzerland. By the way, we lost that tournament to the Swiss...
- However, then you bounced back on the Swiss national team in full?
Yes, we beat them up a lot. It so happened that in this debut match the beginning of the rout (the game ended with a score of 8:1. - "Gazeta.Ru") was put by me, scoring the first goal of the CIS team at the Olympics. As a result, our trio scored two more goals for them, that is, everyone scored: me, Kolya Borshchevsky, and Vitaly Prokhorov.
- How was the tournament in general for the hockey team?
- The beginning of the Games relaxed us somewhat, because we met not with the strongest rivals - the Swiss and Norwegians. The next game against our age-old rivals, the CSFR team, was unsuccessful for us. In short, we lost it. Tikhonov scolded us for this defeat for a very long time, so we went to the next matches extremely mobilized. They defeated the hosts of the French tournament, then had a difficult match with the Canadians, winning it. The match with the Finns also turned out to be quite simple, as, indeed, with the Americans in the semi-finals.
It so happened that you scored the first and last goal of our team at the Olympics. The last goal in the final match against Canada was the winner. Please tell us about this match, how did you score the puck?
- The game with the Canadians was hard. The first two periods ended with a zero score, any mistake would have cost the victory in the tournament, and we understood that. The tension was incredible. And then Slava Butsaev scored a goal that the Canadian goalkeeper would dream about, in my opinion, it was Sean Burke, in nightmares. Slava threw from the goal line, and the puck, having hit either the shield or the goalkeeper's skate, crawled into the near corner. It was a very important puck that allowed us to breathe easier. I scored my own goal, finishing off the puck after Borshchevsky's shot.
- Igor, tell us, please, what do you remember about the Olympics in your life plan?
- Actually, there is nothing to remember. We lived in the mountains for some ski lodge, outside Olympic Village However, all hockey players lived there. We did not go down to the city, because there was no time. We played every other day, and on the day when there were no matches, we always had a training session. Ice Palace there was one in Albertville, I think this place was called Méribel, it was one far away from the places of other competitions. Therefore, we could not go to cheer for our athletes. After all, we didn’t even get to the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games, again because of the distance from the venue.
- And what do you remember about the Olympics in general?
- By the fact that we won it!
As it turned out, these were the last golden Olympic medals our team. In 1993, Russia won the World Cup, and on this the victorious march of the Soviet ice squad interrupted, reminding of himself only in Nagano in 1998.
