The 50 stories take you into the greatest moments ever from over 100 years of the Games ... and the worst. There are tales of great personal heroism and battling against the odds, of thrilling duels, of winning teamwork, of innovators who reinvented their sport, of magical nights and of performances that were simply brilliant. And there are tales of cheating and drug taking, of incredibly bad luck, of refereeing injustices, of moments of stupidity, of seriously bad politics and many other scandals. Readers will be familiar with some of the moments and athletes, but will learn more about the personal back-stories or the historical context in which events played out. Other stories will be new to all but Olympic aficionados. It's a book that can be read in one sitting or dipped into from time to time. There really is something for everyone in The Best and Worst of the Olympics
