Every
major
record &
medal
In Athens in 1896, a small group of fewer than 250 athletes
competed in the first iteration of the modern Olympic Games. What
started as relatively small-scale competition has since evolved into
the biggest sporting event in the world, drawing tens of
thousands of competitors from hundreds of nations together
every four years, with the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro promising
to be the most spectacular yet.
The Olympics are where the world’s elite athletes compete at
the very highest level, setting records and pushing the limits of the
human body for the chance to claim the greatest accolade of all
– an Olympic gold medal. In this book, we celebrate the greatest
Olympians in every discipline, from athletics and aquatics to
cycling, gymnastics, ball sports and more. Inside you’ll find record-
breaking achievements from throughout the history of the games,
incredible stats and figures on the most dominant athletes of all
time, and the amazing stories behind some of the most
inspirational Olympic performances ever.
