"There is only one sporting occasion which brings together men and women of every civilized nation in the world--the Olympic Games. Its nearest challenge comes from soccer\'s World Cup, but there are still many major countries, among them Canada and the United States, in which the game is only in its infancy.

The present book outlines all the facts, concepts, movements pertaining the Great Olympic Games which began in 1896 A.D. in Atens (Greece).

Hopefully, the present book will be very useful for the physical educators, coaches, students and teachers and its related fields." (jacket)
