Practically purrrrrrrfect in every way....
I recently purchased this video because the one I once owned from these games,(taped from tv), was taken to the dump, by mistake, but not by me!!! I hasten to add. I live in the UK and it is impossible to buy these videos here, the only ones we can generally get are the Torvill & Dean tapes....I was delighted to be able to purchase this through Amazon and I bought it primarily for the Tara Lipinsky programme(unforgettable!)....A couple of previous reviewers noted their irritation at the Scott Hamilton commentary, but for me it was the opposite, I found it enhanced my viewing of the tape, I like to hear the commentators getting caught up in the moment and expressing their joy or otherwise at the programmes. I thought this tape was excellent, very enjoyable from beginning to end, with plenty of highlights, and although we get a limited number of full programmes the main one was there for me, and the very reasonable price I paid for the tape and shipment to the UK was well worth Tara's programme alone..I love figure skating and I have many competition tapes which I have taped from tv...unfortunately, it is a minority sport here and not held in the same high regard that it is in the USA and Canada....so I say for anyone thinking of purchasing it, go ahead, I found it great value for money.

would be better if scott would have kept quiet
i taped eevrything during the actual olympics, but i like to purchase videos like this because sometimes they cut the commentary out which is what i would have enjoyed on this tape. scott hamilton although he may be a great skater is so annoying in this video that everytime he screached over a clean jump by tara, it made me angry. what i didnt like was that scott contradicted hismelf several times in this video and it was obvious he had favorites. if you are a fan of michelle & tara and missed their programs this tape provides what u r looking for :)

Perfect for me...
I thought this video was a great taste of the Olympics. It had MK's and TL's both short and long programs and Illia Kuliks, Todd eldgredge(cut the middle out), Elvis Stoyko(cut the middle out), and Phillep Candeloro. The only thing i didnt like, was that Scott H. hosted and commented and i thought that it was the MOST annoying commenting i've ever heard. Overall, this was a great video, and i reccomend you buy it!

Great Highlights of the Nagano's Competition!
The movie gives you a good flavour of the 1998 Olympics best routines. However, it is much focused on the ladies competition, leaving, for example, the pair's short programs completely aside and some 2nd and 3rd places routines with plenty of cuts. I also wish I could have seen Bonaly's complete routine and not only her fist ever done back flip on ice. Anyway, it seems to be the best offer for those who like keeping the best olympic rountine for some time.
