Pełny opis

Only one person has ever won an Olympic medal on all five continents. It's not Michael Phelps, but Kim Rhode, an American skeet shooter. Outside the Olympic Spotlight tells the story of Rhode and eleven others on Team USA, who set records n the 2016 Games at Rio de Janeiro, though the media barely blinked. The book includes dozens of photos which punctuate the journeys of these athletes and the history of their sports, with explanations that describe how their event came to be in the Olympics and how they came to dominate. Michelle Carter, first American woman to win a gold in the shot put. Matthew Centrowitz, the first man to win the 1500 in a century. The American women's water polo team that seemed unbeatable. Kristin Armstrong, the oldest female cyclist, and Kyle Snyder, the youngest male wrestler to win American gold. Helen Maroulis, Kayla Harrison, and Claressa Shields, women who fought to compete and returned with gold and glory. Without a phalanx of cameras or fan support, all of these amazing athletes compete for the love of their sport. These are their stories.
