More About This Book

Overview

From speed skating to giant slalom, bobsleigh to ice hockey, this encyclopaedic book contains everything anyone could want or need to know about the Winter Olympics. With a complete statistical record for all events since its inception in 1924, this is the most comprehensive and informative book on the Winter Games.

Now in its fifth edition, expanded and revised for the 2010 Vancouver Games to incorporate the results from Turin in 2006, the book includes:

the top eight competitors in every event

their scores, times or distances

vital information on rules and scoring systems.

But this is much more than a statistical compendium. It also contains a wealth of fascinating Winter Olympic history, from summaries of the main incidents at each Games to the most inspiring or bizarre moments in individual events. David Wallechinsky and Jaims Loucky describe 85 years of successes, scandals and surprises, and bring alive the most dramatic episodes from the Games.

    This book covers the First (1924 Games) through the Twentieth (2006 Torino Games) - helpful chart for 21st Olympiad

    I have seen an earlier version of this authoritative book for Sports Fans and know that those seeking a bit of background will not be disappointed. I bought it in 2009 and was pleased to have what the co-authors David Wallechinsky and Jaime Loucky have collected together. Besides coverage of each of 18 events/areas: Ice Hockey, Figure Skating, Speed Skating (men), Speed skating (women), Short-track Speed skating, Curling, Bobsleigh, Luge, Skeleton, Alpine Skiing (men), Alpine Skiing (women), Cross-Country (men), Cross-country (women), Ski Jumping, Nordic combined, Biathlon, Freestyle skiing, Snowboarding -- there are Appendices for Winter Olympic Records and National Medal Totals. I remember previous winners in those events that had interested me. It is great to be able to scan and skim through the 322 pages -- however, a comprehensive index of all named individuals would have been also helpful or maybe a search engine / CD with software to make it a bit more accessible for those looking for different names and couples! Overall a quite helpful almanac type book for those who love to have an inexpensive reference to enjoy!

    Four of five stars, to be sure!
