I was here in Placid for the games and am the little figure skater on the lake. (Mirror Lake, btw, Lake Placid lake is very close by though, almost adjacent). Glad to see I can find it! I was young but I recall much of the experience filming on the lake, the opening and especially closing ceremony (I was in that too), very well.

There's no words in the film, it's athlete event and medal ceremony footage, also opening and closing ceremony. Chuck Mangone is featured! Special attention is paid to the USA/RUSSIA game, but it doesn't overshadow all the other sports. They are all very well represented.

Olympic Spirit is well done a piece of history and worth a watch.
