Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

Ask most Olympians how their story begins and they will answer, When I was young, I always dreamed of going to the Olympics. . . Some will then go on to tell of their great athletic triumphs. Others will recall agonizing near-misses. But for most, the very fact that they reached the Games at all was a dream come true. For the Olympic Games offer athletes something few others sporting events can: the chance to be recognized as the best in the world at a chosen sport.

With stories of great triumphs and great tragedies, the Olympics not only embodies the competitive human spirit, but also sets a stage stage for foreign relations and politics. Historical references combined with amazing sports stories give this book both an educational and exciting appeal.

Synopsis:

Available just in time for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, this thorough history celebrates the triumphs, the losses, and the competitive human spirit of the games. Photos.
