This irreverent and entertaining history explores every aspect of the games, from its origins in ancient Greece to the iconic participants of the past century, like Muhammad Ali and Usain Bolt, as well as the scandals that have rocked the games and the records set by its participants. It also features a chapter focusing in-depth on the achievements of the 2012 London Olympics and looking forward to the 2020 Games in Tokyo.
