but the Games were also destroyed by incidents caused mainly by minor national competition.

　　One country received its second­place medals with visible anger after the hockey final.There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match，

　　as the losers objected to the final decisions.They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair.Their manager was quite angry when he said： “This wasn’t hockey.Hockey_and_the_International_Hockey_Federation_are_finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the disorder of the team for at least three years.

　　The American basketball team announced that they would not give up first place to Russia，

　　after a disputable end to their contest.The game had ended in disturbance.It was thought at first that the United States had won，

　　by a single point，

　　but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play.A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other，

　　and another player popped it into the basket.It was the first time the U．S.A. had ever lost an Olympic basketball match.Experts discussed the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand.The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.
