The Sunday Times Great Sporting Moments: 50 Momentous Stories in Sports History Book
This guide brings to life the greatest memorable sporting triumphs and disasters: from Jesse Owens at the Berlin Olympics to Tiger Woods's triumph at the US Open. Sporting dramas, endurance, tragedies and scandals - all are covered in this illustrated tribute to the world's greatest sporting moments. Sport and the 20th century are inextricably intertwined. What began as a pastime for gentlemen amateurs is today an industry generating billions and stirring passions across the globe. Great sporting triumphs - and disasters - have provided some of the century's most enduring images and most imperishable memories. The book looks in detail at 50 of the most extraordinary and remarkable of these events including: Roger Bannister's first four-minute mile; Brazil's magical third World Cup win in 1970; and Ian Botham's single-handed demolition of the Australians in 1981. It also covers scandal and tragedy such as the Munich air crash, the Hillsborough disaster, and Ben Johnson's disgrace in Seoul. This edition has been updated to include Tiger Woods' triumph at the US Open and Steve Redgrave's extraordinary achievement in winning gold at his fourth successive Olympics.Read More
