Description

Ian Thorpe The Biography- Greg Hunter. "Ian Thorpe's unparalleled feat of winning medals at 100, 200 and 400 metres at the Athens Olympics places him among the greatest swimmers of all time, and after just two appearances at the Games he is already Australia's most successful Olympian in any sport. He's been the most admired athlete in his home country since he was only 15, and more heavily scrutinized than any other Australian his age - yet he's managed to maintain an air of mystery and intrigue. For this authorised biography, Thorpe has opened up to give a powerfully honest insight into the forces that have shaped his enigmatic personality and his incident-packed life. In a sport where so many other prodigies have crashed and burned, he's broken the mould and prospered - at the same time overcoming hurdles no other athlete has faced. From childhood through to the triumphs of Athens 2004, the unique world of a champion swimmer, philanthropist, fashonista and philosopher is explored by the founding editor of Inside Sport magazine Greg Hunter." A few tears and creases on the jacket from use but overall good condition and tidy.
