A fascinating book about lots of incredible Olympic events in history.

Luciano Wernicke is a famous Argentine author of numerous sports books, his works were published in Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and the United States.

An Olympic game is the sporting event par excellence. From its resurrection in 1896, of the hand of the French baron Pierre de Coubertin, the Olympics offer every four years a cataract of emotions and international exploits. At the same time, in the backstage of the contests a vast collection of surprising curiosities happens, which amuse and show the most human profile of the protagonists. In addition to feats and records, "Most incredible Olympic Stories" tells the most extraordinary sports anecdotes, many of them so surprising that they seem designed by Hollywood writers: a rifle champion who lost his right hand in the war and educated his left- to win gold medal; an exhausted marathon runner who had to run swiftly in the opposite direction and deviate more than a kilometer when being pursued by a ferocious dog; a Portuguese long distance runner who was run over by a car and, ten days later, won the Los Angeles Marathon, with record included; a sailor who abandoned his race to rescue two drowning rivals; a twin who posed as his sister.
