Book excerpt: In the annals of the Winter Olympics, their names are legendary; their feats without equal. Stroll through the tiny village of Lake Placid and you'll pass the speed skating oval where Eric Heiden won a record five gold medals in 1980, and the Olympic Center, site of the Miracle on Ice. Just down the road sits the skeleton track where Lake Placid's Jim Shea trained to win gold in 2002, seventy years after his grandfather Jack won two golds in speed skating. But making history is nothing new to Lake Placid's 2800 year-round residents. Over the course of a century, their can-do spirit and small-town optimism have made the village the home of the nation's first winter resort; the iste of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics; and the home of the U.S. Olympic training center, where today's athletes tain for the miracles of tomorrow. Featuring never-before-seen footage and rare audio recordings, this documentary is the story of America's Winter sports captial - where the spirit of the Olympics lives on, every day.

Book excerpt: It is called "the Olympic Village," and rightly so. In 1932, Lake Placid hosted the third Winter Olympics, and in 1980 it hosted the thirteenth Winter Olympics. Lake Placid has placed an athlete on all but one winter Olympic roster since 1924. This small community continually works to keep international winter sports on the calendar. First settled as a farming community in 1800, it was home to the famous Lake Placid Club from 1895 to 1980. Today it is known for its beautiful setting amid the Adirondack peaks of New York and for its diverse summer activities making it a year-round international resort.

Download or read book The Adirondacks: 1931-1990 written by Donald R. Williams and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2003-04-25 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, the vast Adirondack wilderness has beckoned. Some, having sampled the treasury of Adirondack art and literature, are drawn by its spectacular beauty; many are lured by its year-round sports and recreational opportunities; others are enticed by its health-giving qualities-the clear air, sparkling waters, and refreshing woodlands. The Adirondacks: 1931-1990 celebrates the years in which the six-million-acre preserve truly became a people's park. With some two hundred rare images, the book includes views of the Winter Olympics held at Lake Placid in 1932, attended by thousands from the world over. It applauds the American boys working in the CCC camps in the Adirondacks during the Great Depression. It follows the steamboats as they ply Lake George and the Fulton Chain and other lakes, as well as the railroads as they bring in more and more visitors. It traces the rise and fall of the grand hotels and their successors: the cabins, motels, cottages, second homes, and campsites of the motoring public. It highlights the music, the architecture, the animals, the crafts-the more recent history of the Adirondack culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book (originally titled A Long Shot to Glory) tells the story of how the small Adirondack Mountain community of Lake Placid became the only American site to host the Winter Olympics twice. Early in the 20th century, winter sports were introduced in Lake Placid. Athletes from the village competed in the first Winter Olympics in Chamonix, France and then made a successful bid to host the third winter games in 1932. After World War II, Lake Placid's civic and sports leaders worked for over twenty five years to get the games returned to Lake Placid. Finally, they were successful and the 1980 Winter Olympics were held in Lake Placid with the "Miracle on Ice" and many other memorable moments. Lake Placid continues to send athletes to every winter games and remains as an Olympic training facility for United States athletes. It has become known as "the Olympic Village" and is reminder of the true spirit of the Olympic movement.
