Wallechinsky has a uniquely vast knowledge of the Olympics and an unrivalled head for trivia – now the two are combined in this collection of 150 unexpected Olympic lists. Published for the 2012 Games, The Book of Olympic List s is a quirky compendium of the unusual, the unknown and the downright bizzare. More than simply a book of lists, Wallechinsky elaborates and expands on the reason for an athlete or incident’s inclusion, to create a winning – and highly addictive – alternative history of the Olympics.
