The Fastest Sports in the World
Speed is fascinating, for competitors & spectators alike. Since early times people have competed against one another -- on land, water & in air. They have raced in every possible way -- on foot, on the backs of animals & in machines. Today, men & women can move at speeds thought impossible only a hundred years ago. Yet they still try to go faster! This heavily illustrated book traces the way in which this instinct for competitive racing has been developed into organized sports. It describes how these sports began, the famous people who have excelled in them & some of the remarkable events that have taken place.
