WHAT AN OLYMPIAD!

This is an essay on the current predicament of the Olympic games, written by an expert. Ioannis Koinis was successful as an athletic champion in the field and earned respect as a medical surgeon. His enormous experience in issues surrounding modern sport is distilled in this short, well-documented book, an authoritative account containing a wealth of inormation. It covers wonderfully the historical perspective from antiquity to our times, the miracle of amateur competition and fair play: issues of high moral ground.
