There is no event like the Olympic Games! The athletes who compete are amazing in their ability to attain world-class standards, their drive to be the best to beat their competitors and defy physical limitations and records on a global stage. These individuals are an example to all of us and each of the amazing Olympians in this eBook has an amazing story to tell.
In this unique story collection from Amazing People Worldwide®, you will take a fascinating trip through the lives of some of the world's most celebrated Olympians!

Read how Jesse Owens, the most successful athlete of the 1936 German Olympics, was snubbed by Adolf Hitler because of his colour, and how Johnny Weismuller went from Olympic success to a career in Hollywood.
