Beschreibung
A collection of nearly twenty Olympic stories by sports journalist Manfred Strnad provides insight into events that took place on the sports arenas that influenced the history of Czech and former Czechoslovak sports. Readers have the opportunity to learn about the fates and thoughts of Olympic winners, as well as those who were not destined to win an Olympic medal, even though they became world champions in their fields. One such personality is athlete Ludmila Formanová, who reveals what it was like to prepare under the guidance of the legendary Jarmila Kratochvílová. From Láďa Vízek, we learn how much he values his gold medal from the Olympic football tournament in Moscow compared to a European medal. In the fate of biker Jaroslav Kulhavý, we see how injuries can undermine the successful career of an Olympic winner. From three-time world champion, canoeist Martin Fuksa, we find out how challenging it is to fulfill the role of a favorite in the final race of the Olympic Games.
