A keepsake-cum-guidebook to the magic of Vancouver's
Winter Games--coming soon in February 2010! Combining the
lore and magic of the Winter Games with profiles of the
individual sports, author Ron Judd has created the
ultimate insider's guide to complement the Olympic games
coming in 2010. From alpine skiing and figure skating to
luge and curling, Judd devotes a chapter to each
competitive sport, examining its history, key competitors
in past Olympics, the newest athlete contenders, how the
sport is played and judged, and more. Anecdotes and fun
facts about the Winter Olympics give the reader a true
sense of being at the games. And for readers who want to
hit the slopes or rinks of British Columbia, Judd
includes a round-up on outfitters and access to the
Olympic venues. The Winter Olympics also includes a
chapter on the Paralympic Winter Games.
