Goldblatt brilliantly traces their history from the reinvention of the Games in Athens in 1896 to Rio in 2016, revealing how the Olympics developed into a global colossus and highlighting how they have been buffeted by (and affected by) domestic and international conflicts. Along the way, Goldblatt reveals the origins of beloved Olympic traditions (winners’ medals, the torch relay, the eternal flame) and popular events (gymnastics, alpine skiing, the marathon). And he delivers memorable portraits of Olympic icons from Jesse Owens to Nadia Comaneci, the Dream Team to Usain Bolt.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 211mmItem Length: 142mmItem Width: 25mmItem Weight: 409gAuthor: David GoldblattGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, History, Sports & HobbiesRelease Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
