When the 2018 Winter Olympics ice hockey tournament got underway in Pyeongchang, South Korea, it was clear it would take a massive effort to keep the Olympic Athletes from Russia from winning the gold medal.
It almost happened, as the unheralded German team had the lead late in the third period of the gold-medal game. However, the Russians refused to be part of another miracle story, and Nikita Gusev scored the tying goal in the final minute of regulation and Kirill Kaprizov scored the winner in overtime.
Russia won the gold medal by a 4-3 score in overtime, and Germany took the silver medal.
