In a career spanning three decades, weightlifter Tommy Kono won
three Olympic medals and eight world championships, captured 11
U.S. national and three Pan-American titles, and set 26 world
records--all before the advent of steroids. A Nisei American, Kono
was interned at Tule Lake, California, during World War II.
Weighing only 105 pounds at age 14 and suffering from asthma, he
began competing at a time of heightened racial and political
prejudice against Asians, and in an era predating modern coaching
techniques, nutritional aids and training facilities. This
definitive biography covers the life and career of an exceptional
athlete who defied disadvantage and achieved international renown.
