Olympic Stories
|
With a complete statistical record since the 1896 founding of the modern Games—including medals won and times, distances, or scores recorded by the top eight competitors in all events (from staples such as the marathon to long-discontinued competitions such as the tug of war), this encyclopedic tome contains
anything anyone could ever need or want to know about the
modern Olympic Games. Far from a dry compendium of names, numbers, and
scoring systems, this book also contains a summary history of every event
at each of the 26 modern Games, enriched with an extraordinary wealth of
Olympic lore and anecdote. The authors provide thought-provoking analysis
of issues and controversies from shamateurism to drug-taking and
corruption, and they have sieved through more than a century of Olympic
history to assemble a mind-boggling collection of stories that range from
the inspiring, through the comic, to the bizarre. Such long-forgotten
characters are included as the boy who was plucked from the streets of
Paris to navigate for two Dutch oarsmen in the paired-oar event in 1900
and, after steering them to victory and a Gold Medal, returned to
obscurity, his name unknown to this day; or the 72-year-old winner of a
silver medal for target-shooting.

| The gold medal for chronicling the modern Olympics, at every Olympiad since the Los Angeles Summer Games of 1984, has gone to renowned historian David Wallechinsky. His magnus opus, The Complete Book of the Summer Olympics, has been called the bible of the Olympics. Completely updated for the 2004 Athens Games, this ultimate reference book contains all-time Olympic records, statistics and medal standings, as well as results of the top eight finishers in every Olympic event from 1896 to 2000. It also carries, in Wallechinsky’s colorful narrative style, a complete history of the Games plus the inside stories of the major competitors and events in each and every Olympiad. | |||
