'The 1960 Winter Olympics were the first to feature instant replay. '
Squaw Valley, California, is now home to some of the world's finest ski slopes, but in 1960 it was a modest, little-known region that hosted the VIII Winter Olympic games. These games became the first Olympics not only to feature instant replay on TV but also to be covered exclusively by one network (CBS). It was at these games that the U.S. men's hockey team won their first gold medal by beating the Russians and the Czechs, an incredible achievement overshadowed -- but not outmatched -- by the fabled 1980 team.
