Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I give this DVD set 3 stars because having these performances available on DVD at all is nice to have. However, I don't think these DVDs are very well executed. Here are some of the reasons:
-- There's no menu that will allow the viewer to select the specific performance they want to see; instead, the viewer will have to rely on fast forwarding.
-- There seems to be no logical order of the performances. They're not organized chronologically, by men's, ladies' or pairs.
-- There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to who's included in these DVDs. By this I mean they've included performances of skaters who did NOT win gold medals such as Janet Lynn, Debi Thomas, Midori Ito, which is fine except that it is glaringly obvious that they omitted some of figure skating's most beautiful performers such as Linda Frantianne, Nancy Kerrigan, Michelle Kwan, and Sasha Cohen. In contrast to this, they've included both the long and short programs of Sarah Hughes who I think is the least decorated skater in terms of earning 1st place in other major competitions and is also the least beautiful skater to watch.
-- Video clips do not seem to have smooth transitions from one performance to another. At times it looks as though the film clips were just spliced together hap hazardly as if the film pieces broke and were reconnected.
In summary, I am glad to have these performances available on DVD but am particularly disappointed in not seeing some of figure skating's most beautiful skaters featured on this set.
