Lance Armstrong tour de force

Spisovatel: Coyle Daniel, CollinsWillow 2005
Katalogové číslo: G3484

Lance Armstrong's achievement has been one of the most astonishing in recent sporting history, not least for the reasons detailed in the book's strapline: tough guys, flawed heroes and one man's battle for ultimate supremacy. This is the remarkable story of a man who triumphed over all the odds a behind-the-scenes record of the 2004 professional cycling season and the manner in which Armstrong landed his sixth Tour de France victory. What makes the book particularly inspiring is the fact that Armstrong is no superman,he talks about the many strikes against him /his age, the dissolving of his team and most of all his triumph over potentially lethal illness /his struggle against cancer is, of course, well-known/.Coyle takes us from the cyclist’s turbulent youth in Texas through his many achievements in the cycling field /notably his near loss in the 2003 tour/, and his massive struggles against a series of disasters that would have floored most of us: his difficult divorce and subsequent separation from his children and, finally, the terrifying revelation of his cancer. The section on the various solutions that Armstrong tried /including new age healers and radical Italian sports doctors/ makes for particularly fascinating reading: as Armstrong realised that his solutions lay elsewhere, there is a genuinely inspirational note here.Equally fascinating are the descriptions of his obsessive fans, the mind games he was forced to play /both with his opponents and corporate heavyweights/, and, of course, his much-publicised relationship with rock star Sheryl Crow. The climax, his victory in the 2004 Tour de France, rounds out one of the best sport biographies in years.... v angličtine,tvrdá väzba,bez obalu,330 strán,farebná obrazová príloha
