Summary
Provides a look at strange twists and turns that took place during major sporting event competitions, including a snowboarder who lost a gold medal because she did a hot-shot move and a sailor who gave up a chance at his gold medal to save a drowning competitor. Jr Lib Guild. Original.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: The world's greatest sporting events, chock-full of guts, glory and going for gold. If you want to read about that, you'd better look elsewhere. The gold medals handed out in this book are for inept athletes, shameful scandals, freakish weather, cheaters, chokers and much worse. But it's not all bad. You'll also read about athletes who went from chump to champ and warm your heart to stories of high-stakes heroism and fair play. There may still be hope for humans --- and sports competitions!
