Description
From the disputed basketball finale of Munich 1972 and the seismic shockwaves of doping scandals, to the razor-thin finishes, athlete protests, and the global reckoning with fairness and technology, this book meticulously unpacks the Olympic events that made headlines and changed the course of sport. Drawing on a rich tapestry of fact and context, it reveals how each controversy, far from merely tainting the Games, became a catalyst for reform and greater transparency.
With compelling narrative and rigorous attention to fact, Gold & Guts explores how the world's grandest sporting stage has been reshaped by its most contentious moments-illuminating not just what happened, but why these flashpoints matter to athletes, officials, and fans everywhere. This is the definitive account of the Olympic finals that rocked the world-and the powerful legacies they left behind.
