How Do You Become an Olympian? A Book About the Olympics and Olympic Athletes

Have you ever wondered how athletes become Olympians? Canadian Olympic runner and author Madeleine Kelly explains the history of the Games, how athletes train for their event, ancient Greek athletes to contemporary competitors representing a number of different sports (including skateboarding, martial arts, and rock climbing), and more. “Fun fact” boxes shed light on sports that are new to the games as well as some that are no longer included, the Olympic motto, and the tradition of playing the anthem of the gold medalist’s country as they are honored.
