Today's question is courtesy Anand. Identify the three occasions and connect.Answer: All 0ccasions involve US in a sporting event against a country that the US is in war with (officially or unofficially). The events are the Miracle at Lake Placid in the 1980 winter Olympics, US vs Iran in the 1998 World cup and the recent Twenty20 match between US and Afghanistan. Ajinkya, Arvind and Rajesh got the connect right while many others had the events right. Well done all.
