Product DescriptionNarrated by Cliff Robertson The daughter of a fur wholesaler, Sonja Henie received her first pair of ice skates when she was six. Eight years later, she was the Norwegian Skating Champion. At 15, she would win the gold medal in Skating at the 1928 Olympics, thus becoming the youngest Olympic skating champion a record that stood for 70 years. She repeated as champion in 1932 and 1936. A ten-time World Champion Women's Figure Skater, she was the first skater to parlay athletic success into a lucrative career. In 1936 she turned professional and began touring with her own ice show, and soon after caught the attention of Hollywood. She signed with 20th Century Fox and played an ice skater in One in a Million (1936). The film was a great success, and Sonja was now a movie star. Sonja's popularity suffered briefly when a photograph was published showing her shaking hands with Adolf Hitler at the 1936 Olympic Winter Games in Berlin. She continued to make a series of light romantic comedies throughout the late 30s and early 40s. More a testament to her skating skills and physical attributes, the films were profitable and her popularity soared. Films like One in a Million, Thin Ice, and Wintertime helped bring financial success for the Hollywood Ice Revues that she produced and starred in every year and which drew huge crowds across the United States. Sonja became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1941. In the mid-40s her movie career tapered off, but she continued skating until her retirement in 1960. An astute businesswoman, Sonja was one of the ten wealthiest women in the world when she died of leukemia in 1969. Sonja was inducted into the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame in 1976 and the International Women's Sport Hall of Fame in 1982. Includes the French version "Patineuse De Legende" and a Photo Gallery.

Product DescriptionAs the world prepares for the upcoming Winter Olympics in Vancouver, a new documentary chronicles the inspiring story of the tiny town that gave America its greatest Olympic triumph. Lake Placid: An Olympic History traces the rise of Lake Placid, New York, from an unknown mountain village to the home of two Winter Olympics and the U.S. Hockey Team's Miracle on Ice. As the site of the nation's first winter resort at the turn of the century, Lake Placid boasted some of the nation's top winter athletes when it hosted the Third Winter Olympics in 1932. As the decades passed and the Games expanded, some felt the Olympics had grown too large for this tiny Adirondack village. But they underestimated the spirit of the townspeople. Lake Placid: An Olympic History chronicles how the town's 2,800 residents persevered through hardship and returned the Games to their small-town roots. The result, in 1980, was the Miracle on Ice, Eric Heiden's five gold medals, and America's most memorable Winter Olympic Games. Blending rare audio recordings with archival films and photographs, Lake Placid: An Olympic History is the story of America's Winter Sports Capital - where the spirit of the Olympics lives on, every day.

Hes been showcased more by the age of 15 than most people in a lifetime. Milestone he has just started his career. Shaun has taken the snowboard world by storm. From placing 1st at the Sims World Championship in Vail, Colorado to the new car he won in the Toyota Big Air in Japan (he didnt even have a drivers license yet), to winning the most prestigious Artic Challenge in Norway Shaun is starting to become a household name all over the world. Now at the age of 17 and after 12 podium parking spots last season, Shaun has grown into the big boy style and has the veterans a little concerned with the Flying Tomato. He is highly respected by his peers, extremely talented and has a long, prosperous career ahead. Shaun is a professional snowboarder. He skates vert for fun. So fun that he was kidnapped and forced to skate with the pros on the Tony Hawk Gigantic Skatepark Tour for the last 3 years. In 2003, he was duct taped to a chair and forced to read his new contract (written by Tony Hawk and friends) and inducted into the world of professional skateboarding. Stay tuned its only just begun! ATHLETES: Shaun White, Travis Rice, Danny Kass, Tony Hawk, Bucky Lasek, Bob Burnquist, - maybe Eddie Wall, Ryan Sheckler QUOTES: Shaun White is no doubt leading the wave of cross over athletes. His natural talent and determination speaks for itself. I think we have only seen a glimpse of whats to come. Richard Woolcott Volcom

Amazon.comThe First Olympics: Blood, Honor, and Glory includes three exciting History Channel documentaries about ancient roots of the Olympics in fact and myth. Curiously, the first two films, "The First Olympics" and "Blood and Honor at the First Olympics," are essentially the same, with slightly different narration, editing, and chapter titles. Of the two, "Blood and Honor" is a little more streamlined and is voiced by Leonard Nimoy, but the material is compelling enough to check out both works over time. Among other things, one learns that the first Olympians competed in the nude for all sports, that winning was everything and penalties for fouls and bribes were severe, and that there has been an Olympics committee--and Olympics competition every four years--since 776 B.C. "The Greek Gods" is a fine supplemental work introducing us to Zeus, in whose honor the Olympics were born, and the other divinities on Mt. Olympus. --Tom Keogh
