Since the Soviets, the Americans and the Yugoslavian team each finished with records of 6-1, the medals were "decided on the goal average in the three games among each other." In those three games (Yugoslavia 82, U.S.S.R. 79; U.S. 91, Yugoslavia 88; and USSR 105, U.S. 94), the USSR had outscored its opponents 184 to 176, Yugoslavia was even at 170 for and 170 against, and the U.S. had been outscored 185 to 193. ==Awards==
