Book excerpt: With the Games of London 2012 almost upon us, the book permits armchair time travel at its very best - not only in exploring the streets and historic buildings of Edwardian London, but also the opportunity to reflect on the many innovations of the 1908 Games that we now take for granted - the presence of national teams; the use of international rather than local judges; the construction of first -class facilities and much more. The first part presents the Atlas and Gazetteer of London 1908, with its 38,000 streets and places index, along with the clear and colourful map plates of London's famous districts. The official programme presents all of the events staged at the 1908 Olympic Games with the sports diary revealing even more fascinating detail. This is just one of many artefacts from the scrapbook of William Barnard, timekeeper at the 1908 Games that are featured in the second part of the book. One of the greatest pieces of Sporting History to occur at the 1908 Games was the establishment of the Marathon Race distance at 26 miles 385 yards - and that being down to the passionate, supportive and keen interest of Royal Family. This section of the book presents the epic story of London's first marathon when the decision to disqualify the winner, Italy's Dorando Pietri, leading to him being immortalised in history as a legendry sporting hero. The controversial finish, and the headline pictures and flickering film of the drama, stamped on this race for decades its image as a "man-killer" event. After the struggle of 1908, the marathon story was far too good to end at the tape. This intriguing section of the book also contains a plan of the original marathon route, the complete 1908 marathon programme including full list of competitors and route schedule, along with iconic sporting pictures of this iconic event. The book is a historic tribute to the early pioneers of the great games and the legacy that they bestowed on many generations throughout the World.

Book Synopsis The First London Olympics by : Rebecca Jenkins
Download or read book The First London Olympics written by Rebecca Jenkins and published by Piatkus. This book was released on 2012-05-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer that saw the first successful flight of the Zeppelin, a 140 acre site of scrubland in West London was transformed into the White City, which housed the 1908 Franco-British Exhibition - and a state-of-the-art stadium built to house the first London Olympics. The Olympics were organised by volunteers in just 18 months and at a fraction of the cost of the modern Olympics and yet, just as today, the sport was overshadowed by doping scandals and caused international uproar. The ferocious competitiveness of a US team dominated by New York Irish Americans led to a succession of 'scandals' culminating in the historic marathon when Italian confectioner baker Dorando Pietri's heroic efforts at the limits of exhaustion so entranced on-lookers that track officials helped him across the finish line. Coinciding with the 100th Anniversary of the first London Olympics, this delightful social and sporting history - illustrated with over 70 contemporary images - provides a thought-provoking contrast to the forthcoming 2012 Olympic Games.
