DVD Reviews of Lake Placid: An Olympic History
DVD Review: The Spirit of the Olympics
Summary: 5 Stars
from "Legacies of North American Winter Games: Lake Placid 1980," a report commissioned by the Vancouver Olympics Organizing Committee:
Former Lake Placid News reporter Marc Nathanson made an excellent documentary on the Lake Placid Winter Olympic Games, called "Lake Placid: An Olympic History," unearthing rare footage and tape recordings that detail the history of the town and give an excellent idea of the nature of its Olympic Games. Its conclusion sums up the Lake Placid experience superbly:
"Over the course of a century Lake Placid has grown from an unknown mountain village into America's winter sports capital, driven by a can-do attitude and an unshakable spirit. It's the same spirit you see in the eyes of a young figure skater practicing her routine late at night in the Olympic Center or in the determined gaze of a luge racer about to take an early-morning practice run down the Mount Van Hoevenberg track. It is the spirit of the Olympics - the reason why Lake Placid is home to some of the greatest moments in sports history, and all those historic moments yet to come."
