Product Description
In 1972, at the age of 17, Olga dazzled the world with her creative gymnastic style. Her signature backflip was a daredevilish innovation that had never before been seen in competition. At the Munich Games, where she won three gold medals and one silver medal, Olga was originally slotted to be an alternate and got to compete only because of a teammate's injury! The Olympic Games never lose their magic. Time and time again, on the track, on the bars, and on the ice, Olympic athletes capture the imaginations of people all over the world. The stories of young people who have struggled against adversity to earn their place in the spotlight are those that inspire us the most. The Olympic Gold! series presents these stories and honors international heroes whose dedication and discipline earned them the greatest prize in sports. Grades 3-7; 7 x 9; 64 pages; More than 30 color and black-and-white illustrations; Sturdy library binding; Glossary; Further Reading; Index
