Summary: Michael Phelps inside story
Comment: This is an amazing video. If you watched just one of his races, you must see this DVD. His story is great AND they show every race he did. My family and I spent every night during the Olympics watching swimming and it is great to be able to have all the races to watch over and over again in this DVD.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great gift for Olympic fans!
Comment: My dad is glued to the couch during the Olympic games. I sent this and the highlights video to him for Christmas and when he opened the box last night he was thrilled! I don't know if he will be dissapointed after he watches it, but I think he will be happier for owning it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Inspiring, great, just like the live Olympics.
Comment: This DVD is exactly what I hoped for; I missed a lot of Phelps' historic races during the summer 2008 Beijing Olympics, and this has all 8 gold medal races with the original NBC footage and the call by Rowdy Gaines. There are interviews after each race with Bob Costas, Phelps, coach Bob Bowan & Rowdy Gaines where Phelps breaks down what was going on in his mind and in the pool during each race. The breathtaking 4x100 freestyle relay (Jason Lezak's come from behind to beat France) and the 100m Butterfly (Phelps' 0.01 sec win over Michael Cavic), the medal ceremonies, all the rest. This was the greatest U.S. Olympic moment since the 1980 hockey team win over the USSR. Everyone American should watch this amazing achievement of a lifetime.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Olympic Coverage!
Comment: This movie showcases Michael Phelps' achievements during the 2008 Olympic Games. The first half of the film shows the events he performed in. His events are followed by interviews and mini-segments aired during his competition(s).
Michael Phelps is accomplishing his goal of introducing and inspiring many to swimming! He's a fantastic athlete who works to inspire a nation. This film places Mr. Phelps in the best light and serves to illustrate his dedication and hard work. While Michael Phelps had the tendency to be "at a loss for words," his performances are driven by his competitiveness. Again, this film works to exhibit the best of Michael Phelps during the 2008 Olympic Games and it serves to remind us all why he's quickly become the best swimming athlete.
Overall, the pieces in this film have been taken directly from what audiences were shown during the Olympic Games with the exception of a few interviews. I would recommend this to any swimming/Michael Phelps fan out there!
