From: jsl@ixserve.att.com (Janet S. Levy) Newsgroups: rec.equestrian Subject: Olympic tapes Date: 31 Jul 1996 20:09:40 GMT Organization: Lucent Technologies, Indian Hill I just returned from Atlanta; I saw the Individual X-country, all of the team dressage and the first jumping qualifier. I taped almost all of the dressage rides in their entirety. I had a seat on the long side so I had a good view, although always the same view! My zoom was able to move in very close so the tapes look good. I also taped the medal ceremonies and two special demonstrations performed by Lendon Gray on Last Seen (sp? - nickname Scenic). In one demo, she showed many of the Grand Prix movements done correctly and various mistakes that could happen. She was wearing a mike and explaining while doing. I thought it was quite impressive. The other demo was a Kur on the same mount. We got there a little late on the first day, and I missed Robert Dover's ride, but did see the Gold medal ride of Werth which was also early on the first day. I am still willing to route these tapes among interested people. Send me your name and address and your sworn commitment to hold the tapes for 1 week or less before posting them onwards! jslevy1@lucent.com It was good to learn that professional tapes would be available. I saw the posts about the new cable network: PHN's tapes. I picked up an order blank at the Olympics for video tapes that does not mention PHN and has a different phone number, but the same description of tapes and prices. I'll print it here for your information: From Miller's and International Saddlery: In each of the three individual 90 minute videos, the winning rides of the Medalists are shown in their entirety, as well as outstanding performances from other competitors in both the individual and team competitions. The "Highlights" video features outstanding moments from each of the competitions as well as medal ceremonies, "victory rides" and portions of the opening and closing ceremonies.
