3.0 out of 5 stars
Contains highlights, not ALL performances, August 29, 2004
This review is from: The 2002 Olympic Games - Figure Skating Competition/Exhibition (2 Pack - Salt Lake Olympic Games) (DVD)
The DVDs do not contain all of the performances. The reason I wanted the dvds was to see ALL of the skaters, unfortunately, the dvd only shows the top 2 to 4 skaters per discipline. You also cannot skip to certain skater performances, you have to fast forward, so it is more like working a tape than a dvd.
These are the included performances (competition): Pairs - Sale & Pelletier, Berezhnaya & Sikharulidz; Mens - Yagudin, Plushenko, Goebel; Ladies - Kwan, Hughes, Cohen, Slutskaya; Ice Dance - Anissina & Peizerat, Lobacheva & Averbukh
Luckily, the dvds are pretty cheap so it is not so bad.

Highly Discriminatory, March 24, 2005
This review is from: The 2002 Olympic Games - Figure Skating Competition/Exhibition (2 Pack - Salt Lake Olympic Games) (DVD)
This DVD focuses primarily on the American and Russian skaters. Even when the Chinese pairs were ahead of the Americans, they only showed the Americans. The narrator speaks in a way that glorifies the Americans and Russians. The only reason why they showed Michelle Kwan was because she represents the USA. This world event is not exactly "world". They should have shown ALL the skaters because a DVD should be able to contain up to 7 hours. Certainly racist against Asians!!!!!
