The title says it all, this was not perfect, but it was good. When I saw this I was hoping it would be the entire 1994 Olympic Figure Skating competition and not just the highlights. They left out a lot of moments in the ladies figure skating, including the upsetting performances by Josee Chouinard and Surya Bonaly... and they didn't show the entire Usova and Zhulin performance, only about 15 seconds of it!

The exhibition was very disappointing I thought, because they left out a lot of it... both tapes are 60 minutes long, and they seem like they were thrown together very quickley... The most disappointing to me was the Ladies events, I thought it was just too short and they left too much out (including Nancy Kerrigan's bad attitude, they made it look like she was a good sport)! They didn't show ANY of the podium ceremonies either!

Despite these flaws, it was entertaining to watch, just don't have incredibly high expectations of it!

I was given this video as a gift and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it over and over and over.....The commentary, the skating, the Tonya/Nancy fiasco, the Baiul collision and victory, the costumes and the music come together in such a way that one feels all of the intrigue and excitement of the 1994 Olympics all over again.

I was so pleased to finally have the chance to watch the 1994 Winter Olympics on tape, and the coverage was great. Of all four Olympic champions, CBS showed complete long programs that were uninterrupted, plus Nancy Kerrigan's complete long and short programs, and wonderful interviews. This is a must have for any figure skating fan! END

I am so glad I got this video. All the performances are great, especially Gordeeva and Grinkov's. END
