Some of us record television broadcasts of Olympic events on our home VCRs for later, more convenient, viewing. Six months afterward, we still haven't looked at the tape, and chances are good somebody recorded an episode of Sex and the City over it. For such procrastinators, or perhaps diehard fans of Winter Olympics, this outstanding collection of highlights from the 2002 Salt Lake City games is indispensable. Out of the historic 17-day competition and nearly 400 hours of footage, this documentary includes choice moments from 23 different events, including figure skating, hockey, curling, skiing, and much more. The dramatic opening and closing moments are included, as are winning performances by figure skater Sarah Hughes, speed skater Apollo Anton Ohno, and many others. Recommended. [Note: The DVD includes 45 minutes of bonus footage.] Aud: H, C, P. (T. Keogh)
