3.0 out of 5 stars Good Recapp of Olympic glories!, July 20, 2001

By A Customer

This was a good recapp of famous scenes from the Olympics. The video highlights how a lot of the Olympic traditions began and how the modern Olympics were restarted. It takes you through three hours of the greatest Olympic moments. I was a little dissappointed that we didn't hear the orginal commentary from the games, along with Bud Greenspan. It also didn't show enough of some of the more famous Olympians - there was not much on Greg Louganis or Jesse Owins, or Nadia Comaneci. Overall I liked this video but I was a little dissappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Documentary, August 14, 2000

By	Enrique (Illinois United States) - See all my reviews

I originally saw this documentary on PBS and thought it was a great recap of the last 100 years of the Olympic Games. I am glad to see that it is now on video.
