REVIEW:
Modern Olympians are brought to life in these visually attractive biographies. An introduction provides a suspenseful account of an important moment in the subject’s life…The rest of the text relates each individual’s climb to Olympic status, with an overview of athletic accomplishments (but little on personal lives). For the most part, the text is secondary to the images; the photos generate most of the appeal…Fine additions where sports and the Olympics are in demand.
