Sports in New York (state)

New York is the home of one National Football League team, the Buffalo Bills (based in the suburb of Orchard Park).

The state of New York hosted the Olympic Winter Games in 1932 and 1980 in Lake Placid.

The 1980 Games are known for the USA–USSR hockey game dubbed the "Miracle on Ice" in which a group of American college students and amateurs defeated the heavily favored Soviet national ice hockey team 4–3 and went on to win the gold medal against Finland.

Along with St. Moritz, Switzerland and Innsbruck, Austria, Lake Placid is one of the three cities to have hosted the Winter Olympic Games twice.

New York City bid to host the 2012 Summer Olympics but lost to London.
