Bill Plaschke: US women's gold on the ice continues a movement
LOS ANGELES - It was a hockey game transformed into an anthem.
The winner's gold glowed in triumph over ignorance.
It happened shortly after 11 p.m. in Los Angeles on Wednesday, well past midnight on the East Coast, so many in this country were not awake to witness it. But those who did see it will not soon forget it, and those who felt it will forever be empowered by it.
It was America's 2018 Olympic moment, created and grown and ultimately fiercely grabbed by the finest of America's 2018 women.
I jumped out of my chair when it ended. Did you? I stared at the television in as much awe as admiration. How could you not?
