Produktinformationen zu „How to Watch the Olympics “
The Olympics are the world's biggest sporting event, yet the games the world is familiar with - football, cricket, rugby, motor sports - are either missing or have a token presence. In their place are games that most of us have not a clue how to play or to watch. This offers the back story behind each Olympic sport and, by means of fiendishly clever diagrams and prose, explains the rules and finer points for enhanced viewing.
