Book excerpt: The Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games form the greatest sporting extravaganza in the world. Athletes from more than 200 countries, competing in more than two dozen sports and disciplines, battle each other for the glory of the podium. "The 100 Greatest Olympians and Paralympians" is a celebration of the cream of world sporting endeavour stretching back 112 years. These 100 legends from the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games were more than special athletes, they took their sports to new levels of excellence. Each one's achievements are described, not only in context of their extraordinary feats but also how, in many cases, they changed public perception. Some, like Jesse Owens in 1936, became torch-bearers for social change, others, such as Usain Bolt in 2008, simply made their sport 'cool' again. Each biography has been painstakingly researched and is complemented by outstanding photographs capturing the essence of sporting greatness.

This book was released on 2022-07-25 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published on the 30th Anniversary of Dan O'Brien's first attempt of Olympic Gold at the 1992 Olympic Games. Dan O'Brien would go on to win gold at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. For all the world's great athletes, only one man, the Olympic Gold Medalist in the decathlon, is officially deemed the World's Greatest Athlete. Since Jim Thorpe's gold medal effort in the first modern decathlon at the 1912 Stockholm Games eleven more Americans have held this near mythical title and not a single one, from Bob Mathias to Bruce Jenner, has done it with as much flair or with a more gripping tale than Dan O'Brien. As an orphan who has never met his biological parents, as the subject of a timelessly infamous "Dan & Dave" advertising campaign, as the athlete of perhaps the most publicized and shocking failure in the history of sports, and as a man who persevered through it all to dominate his sport like few athletes ever have, it's no wonder Track & Field News calls Dan's life "stuff movies are made of."

At Carlisle he led the football team to victories over some of the nation’s best college teams-Army, Navy, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Pennsylvania, and Nebraska. In 1912 he participated in the Olympic Games in Stockholm, winning both the decathlon and pentathlon. It was then that King Gustav V of Sweden dubbed him "the world’s greatest athlete." Between 1913 and 1919, Thorpe played professional baseball for the New York Giants, the Cincinnati Reds, and the Boston Braves. In 1915 he began playing professional football with the Canton (Ohio) Bulldogs. When the top teams were organized into the American Professional Football Association in 1920, Thorpe was named the first president of the league, which was renamed the National Football League in 1922. Throughout his career he excelled in every sport he played, earning King Gustav’s accolade many times over.
