Synopsis
<p><i>Olympic Gold</i> follows the inspirational journeys of Australia�s 74 individual Olympic gold medallists, at both the Summer and Winter Games.</p> <p>Australia has enjoyed an unbroken involvement in the modern Olympics, from Edwin Flack�s double-gold on the track at the first modern Games in 1896, to Lydia Lassila�s acrobatic feats on the ski slopes of Vancouver in 2010.</p> <p>Chronicled along the way are Australia�s many famous victories in the swimming pool, alongside the lesser-known triumphs of the likes of Fanny Durack, Australia�s first female Olympic gold medallist and, of course, the era-defining achievement of Cathy Freeman in the Sydney Games in 2000.</p> <p><i>Olympic Gold</i> tells the stories of some of the nation�s most iconic sporting heroes, written by authors with an unparalleled insight into their epic achievements, providing a unique perspective on their journey to the top of the podium. The authors range from esteemed journalists and coaches to family members, and in some cases even the athletes themselves.</p> <p>These are remarkable stories about remarkable people � that elite group of individuals who have reached for the stars, beaten the odds and won gold at the most prestigious sports event in the world.</p>
