Bobbie Rosenfeld: The Olympian Who Could Do Everythingby Anne Dublin
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Bobbie Rosenfeld May Be Canada's all-round greatest athlete of the twentieth century. A Sports Hall of Famer, Bobbie was born in 1904 in Russia and came to Canada when she was less than a month old. As a young girl she excelled in track and field, ice hockey, tennis, basketball and softball. At the 1928 Summer Olympics, she won gold and silver medals. But Bobbie Rosenfeld's popularity was due to more than her athletic ability or, later, her skills as a sportswriter. She was loved as much as anything for her strength of character--her decency, honesty and sense of fair play. Synopsis:Many sportswriters and broadcasters in this country agree that Bobbie Rosenfeld may be Canada's all-around greatest athlete of the twentieth century. Her love for all sports showed itself early. As a young girl she excelled in track and field, ice hockey, tennis, basketball and softball. At the 1928 Summer Olympics, held in Amsterdam, she won both gold and silver medals. But Bobbie's popularity was due to more than her athletic brilliance or, later, her skills as a sportwriter with the Globe & Mail. She was loved as much as anything for her strength of character-her decency, honesty and sense of fair play. Rich with historical photographs and context, Bobbie Rosenfeld: The Olympian Who Could Do Everything will appeal to sports fans of all ages.
