  • The Inside Track
    The official autobiography of the Rio Olympics’ golden couple LAURA TROTT & JASON KENNY THE INSIDE TRACK This inspirational autobiography explores the world of two of the UK’s most successful athletes, how they were inspired to take up cycling, the highs and lows of competing, and what it is like being cycling’s golden couple. Through an integrated narrative Laura Trott and Jason Kenny retrace the steps of a journey to gold-medal success at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. Taking the reader behind the scenes of British cycling’s Olympic training and preparation (both mentally and physically); this book explores the difficulties of turning professional; the personal sacrifces endured along the way; and their inspirations and motivations to keep competing. From Bolton and Cheshunt to Beijing, London and Rio, this combined autobiography has Laura and Jason’s relationship at its core, while detailing how being in the unique position of competing in the same sport, but not together or against each other, impacts their lives, and how it can be both a blessing and a curse. It compares their different experiences of racing at junior level, and explores the role of family, friends and relationships along the way that led them to the senior circuit, to meeting each other and, eventually, falling in love. Reliving their individual successes at the World Championships and Commonwealth Games, and the Olympic performances Published in Hardback that cemented their positions at the very top of their sport, Laura 10th November 2016 and Jason explain what keeps them going, and exactly how one Michael O’Mara Books becomes a nation’s most successful Olympic athlete.

Two athletes won medals in Adi’s shoes: Germany’s Arthur Jonath and American Wilhelmina von Bremen both clinched gold in their respective 100m finals. 1936 Berlin Jesse Owens As politics and sport collided in Berlin, Adi Dassler remained focused on making the best footwear products for athletes including James Cleveland “Jesse” Owens. The young American was the most successful athlete in Berlin, winning four gold medals in front of Adolf Hitler in shoes that boasted specially positioned spikes and low-cut upper. 1948 London Emil Zátopek Post World War II the Olympic Games were seen as a way of reuniting the world through athletic competition and the spirit of true sportsmanship. In a glimpse of things to come, Emil Zátopek, the young “Czech Locomotive”, ran to Gold in the 10,000m and Silver in the 5,000m wearing Dassler’s lightweight shoes. In the same year, “adidas” was registered as the brand with the three stripes. 1952 Helsinki Bob Mathias In one of the greatest performances of all time, Emil Zátopek pulled off an incredible triple at the Helsinki Olympic Games winning Gold in the 5,000m, 10,000m, and the marathon over the course of seven days.
