Director of photography, Phedon Papamichael ; editor, Bruce Green ; score by Hans Zimmer.Leon, Doug E. Doug, Rawle D. Lewis, Malik Yoba, Raymond J. Barry, Larry Gilman, Peter Outerbridge, Paul Coeur, John Candy.Based on a true story, this is the comedic saga of four Jamaican athletes going to extremes to compete as bobsled racers at the Winter Olympics. With few resources and virtually no clue about winter sports, it's an uphill course for this troupe from the tropics who are sliding on thin ice as they go for the gold in Calgary, Canada. Refusing to let anything stand in their way, these four Jamaicans enlist the help of a down-and-out ex-champion American slider named Irv. Unavoidably drawn back to a sport he had come to loathe, Irv is faced with coaching a team of complete novices. But once committed, he is determined to turn them around and to somehow right the wrongs of his own failed career. It's a bumpy ride but with pride, determination, and dignity, the bobsledders make their impossible dreams come true.MPAA rating: PG.DVD, region 1; Widescreen format (1.85:1); Dolby digital stereo. surround.

Speed kings [large print] : the 1932 Winter Olympics and the fastest men in the world / by Bull, Andy,1956-(CARDINAL)810580;

In the 1930s, as the world hurtled toward war, speed was all the rage. Bobsledding was the must-see event of the 1932 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid. It required exceptional skill and extraordinary courage--qualities the American team had in abundance. In the thick of the Great Depression, the nation was gripped by the exploits of high-society playboy Jay O'Brien, Hollywood has-been Tippy Grey, champion boxer and Rhodes Scholar Eddie Eagan, and charismatic Billy Fiske, the true heart of the team although barely out of his teens.

Over it [sound recording] : how to face life's hurdles with grit, hustle, and grace / by Jones, Lolo,1982-authornarrator;

Performed by Lolo Jones.Over It is a high-octane dose of encouragement, storytelling, and hard won advice from Lolo Jones, three-time Olympian and world champion hurdler and bobsledder. Lolo is perhaps better known today not for all the races she's won but for the millisecond mistake that cost her an Olympic gold medal over a decade ago. With stunning authenticity about her own struggles, longings, and losses, she shows us how to face our challenges head-on and keep working to overcome them. In this book, Lolo challenges us to learn how to handle failure while pursuing our dreams, recognize the difference between achieving a goal and experiencing success, turn our most painful moments into the most successful, use thankfulness and faith to develop healthy hindsight, and give and receive forgiveness as the paths back to life. Growing up in a broken home, Lolo learned to shoplift at a young age just to eat at night and sometimes slept on the basement floor of the Salvation Army. While her father was in prison, her mother worked multiple jobs, and Lolo realized she needed to be self-motivated, singularly focused, and unwilling to quit if she wanted to succeed. Reflecting on her journey of spiritual commitment, including the difficult choices that come with it, Lolo shares how resting in God has made all the difference in overcoming obstacles with both strength and joy.

To save it, he comes up with an idea so radical it just might work. Setting off for Mumbai, JB stages a televised nationwide competition called "Million dollar arm" where two young finalists emerge as winners. JB brings them back to the US with a goal: get them signed as pitchers to a major league team. While the boys learn the game, they teach JB the meaning of teamwork and commitment, and JB finds a family.Remember the Titans: A drama of forced high school integration in Alexandria, Virginia in 1971. After leading his team to fifteen winning seasons, white football coach Bill Yoast is demoted and replaced by African-American Herman Boone, tough, opinionated and as different from Yoast as could be. The two men overcome their differences and turn a group of hostile young men into champions. A rousing celebration of how a town torn apart by resentment, friction and mistrust comes together in triumphant harmony.The greatest game ever played: Based on the 1913 U.S. Open golf championship-- at which two equally sympathetic young men, both of whom grew up economically and socially disadvantaged, go club to club in one of the most exciting and dramatic athletic events of the 20th century.The miracle: The inspiring true story behind one of the greatest moments in American sports history - the 1980 United States ice hockey team's Olympic victory against the Soviet Union.The rookie: When a shoulder injury ended his minor league pitching career twelve years ago, Jim Morris resorted to the next best thing: coaching. But Jim's team, knowing their coach is a great ball player, makes a deal with him: if they win the district championship, they want Jim to try out for a major-league organization. Going from worst to first, the team makes it to state, and Jim is forced to live up to his end of the deal. While there prove to be a lot of pitches to be thrown before he makes it off the mound, big-league dreams are revived, and there's no telling where he could go.DVD, wide screen.
