Description
1001 Sporting Records will take the reader on a memorable journey through sporting excellence, providing a true insight into the where and when of a particular achievement and placing it into a definitive, absolute context; it will turn an event that has at times become nothing more than a forgotten statistic on a dusty page into a startling, memorable reality. Covering an array of sports, from the frosty Himalayan peaks and the windswept treachery of the Southern Ocean to the sun-baked cricket fields of the Caribbean and the knife-edge atmosphere of an Olympic stadium, 1001 Sporting Records will be a complete and wide-ranging celebration of the pinnacle of human achievement, be it on land, sea, or air.Table of Contents: Aikido; American Football; Archery; Athletics (Track & Field Events); Australian Rules Football; Badminton; Baseball; Basketball; Billiards; Bobsleigh; Boules; Bowls; Boxing; Canadian Football; Canoeing; Carriage Driving; Clay Pigeon Shooting; Cricket; Croquet; Cross Country Running; Curling; Cycle Racing; Darts; Diving; Dragsters; Dressage; Eventing; Fencing; Figure Skating; Fives; Football; Gaelic Football; Golf; Greyhound Racing; Gymnastics; Handball; Hockey; Horse and Trap; Horse Racing; Hurling; Ice Hockey; IndyCars; Judo; Kabaddi; Karate; Karting; Kendo; Kick Boxing; Korfball; Lacrosse; Luge; Modern Pentathlon; Motor Cycling; NASCAR; Netball; Nordic Skiing; Orienteering; Pelota; Pistol shooting; Polo; Pool; Powerboat Racing; Rackets; Rally Driving; Rallycross; Real Tennis; Rhythmic Gymnastics; Rifle shooting; Rounders; Rowing; Rugby League; Rugby Union; Show Jumping; Ski Jumping; Skiing; Snooker; Snowboarding; Softball; Speed Skating; Speedway; Squash; Sumo Wrestling; Surfing; Swimming; Synchronised Swimming; Table Tennis; Taekwondo; Tennis; Tenpin Bowling; Trampolining; Triathlon; Volleyball; Water Polo; Water Skiing; Weightlifting; Windsurfing; Wrestling; Yacht Racing.
