The USSR and USA would both fight very hard in the Olympics and they would even see the medal count as Communism Vs Democracy]]> 2022-04-06 13:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132582208 25pentermanj https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132588754 2022-04-06 13:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132588754 25pentermanj https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132595349 2022-04-06 13:13:18 UTC https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132595349 What is a boycott? How did this play a role in the 1980 and 1984 Olympics? Who hosted and who would not come? 25pentermanj https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132599190 Boycotting is pretty much protesting against something and not participating or watching it until they change what they want to be changed. This played a role because people didn’t want to watch or play in the olympics. Russia hosted the Olympics when this happened which caused this to happen]]> 2022-04-06 13:15:16 UTC https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132599190 25pentermanj https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132603695 2022-04-06 13:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132603695 How were the Olympics a symbol of Cold War competition? 25pentermanj https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132606502 Because the Soviet viewed the medal count as democracy vs communism which was a huge part of the war.]]> 2022-04-06 13:19:02 UTC https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132606502 25pentermanj https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132610366 2022-04-06 13:20:58 UTC https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132610366 Why was the Miracle on Ice competition so significant to the battle of the Cold War? 25pentermanj https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132612686 The main big reason is that the Soviet Union hockey team was very good and the US hockey team was a lot of college kids and they still ended up winning. Another big reason is the Soviet Union viewed the Olympic medal ranking as a competition between communism and democracy]]> 2022-04-06 13:22:10 UTC https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132612686 What are the Olympics? 25pentermanj https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132617634 The Olympics is where a ton of different countries compete in sporting events to see who can do the best. In this case the US and the USSR had a rivalry in these olympics.]]> 2022-04-06 13:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132617634 25pentermanj https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132624832 2022-04-06 13:28:19 UTC https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132624832 How did the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan affect the Olympics? 25pentermanj https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132625242 Because the Soviet was invading a country for no good reason and people boycotted the Olympics because they let them host it in the Soviet Union.]]> 2022-04-06 13:28:32 UTC https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132625242 What are 3 ways the Olympics created a competition between the US and USSR? (B work) 25pentermanj https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132629366 The first way was to show that they were better at sports. The second way was because they held the competition in the Soviet Union they knew they could cheat and get away with it which made it much easier to win and brag. The last way was bringing communism and democracy into the Olympics which have no correlation at all.]]> 2022-04-06 13:30:40 UTC https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132629366 What 3 comparisons could be made in the Cold War Olympics to present day Olympics? (A work) 25pentermanj https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132631115 In today’s Olympics it isn’t really about communism vs democracy anymore and it's more just about sports. The Soviet Union isn’t in today’s Olympics. They would technically be Russia but Russia got banned from playing under Russia and now their athletes perform under the name “Russian Olympic Committee.” Lastly the Olympics aren't boycotted anymore because they are way more safe with the Olympics then they were during the cold war but there are still some problems now.]]> 2022-04-06 13:31:31 UTC https://padlet.com/25pentermanj/uv9tgwjz510m3983/wish/2132631115
