LAKE PLACID:
AN OLYMPIC HISTORY
DVD DOCUMENTARY
From Legacies of the Winter Games – a report commissioned by the 2010 Vancouver Olympic 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."
