I've also seen a few articles on the 1960 team, that I can't put my hands on
now.
 
As an "old faht" operating in "the snow was deeper, the winter colder" mode,
I think that the 1960 win may have been more of an accomplishment.  This was
literally a team of plumbers, carpenters, and insurance agents.  Some of
them worked at their "day jobs" until weeks before the opening of the
Olympics.  And they beat Sweden, the USSR, Canada and Czechoslovakia along
the way, something the 1980 team didn't  have to do.
