The Olympic Games is the biggest sporting event on the planet and
has developed beyond all proportion since Baron Pierre du Coubertin
first raised the idea of reviving the Ancient Olympic ideal in
1889. The first modern Olympic Games, appropriately held in Athens
in 1896, featured only 241 athletes from 14 countries; by the time
the event hits London in 2012, 4,200 athletes from up to 208
countries will compete in front of a global television audience of
6.7 billion. In the intervening 116 years, some of the greatest
stories in world sport have been written and names have been etched
into sporting folklore. The Olympic Games and World Records Book is
a collection of the finest achievements on sport's greatest
platform and a celebration of the legends created by some of the
most distinguished names in sporting history. It is essential
reading for any fan of the Olympic Games - the greatest and most
revered spectacle in world sport.
