Wallechinsky has vast knowledge of the Olympics and a head for trivia, and now the two are combined in this collection of 150 unexpected Olympic lists, including the eight slowest Olympic competitors, the 12 strangest sports ever contested, and the six most spectacular collisions and falls. This compendium of the unusual, the unknown, and the downright bizarre is more than simply a book of lists. It's an alternative history of the Olympics. |
