About this product

Product Information

From chariot racing to synchronised swimming, the Olympic Games have greatly developed since the early days of the Greek Games. This book, which is one of a series that adopts a less formal approach to language in children's non-fiction, presents text with strong imagery. The book provides a historical insight into the early events, the demise of the games and their restoration in 1896 in Athens. The intention was that they were to encourage world peace and to promote amateur athletics. Record breakers between the ages of 15 and 55 are listed with full descriptions of their achievements. Over the years the games have been rocked by all manner of catastrophes from war and terrorism to some highly illegal cheating. The informaton in this book covers every track and ball event as well as water and ice sports, equestrian events and those sports using machinery - cycling, bobsleds and fibreglass skis. Finally there is a section on paralympics and their success.
