Множество самых разных соревнований происходит на нашей планете каждый день, каждый час, каждую минуту. Спорт, зародившийся в незапамятные времена, стал явлением жизни человечества. У него свои герои, знаменитые не меньше, чем выдающиеся писатели, художники, актеры.

"If you're not strong enough to swim fast, you're probably not strong enough to swim 'pretty," said a young Esther Williams to theater impresario Billy Rose. Since the nineteenth century, tensions between beauty and strength, aesthetics and athleticism have both impeded and propelled the careers of female swimmers—none more so than synchronized swimmers, for whom Williams is often considered godmother. In this riveting history—the first of its kind—Vicki Valosik traces a century of aquatic performance, from vaudeville and dime museums to the Olympic arena.

Even today, it’s considered one of the most thrilling races in Olympic history. The hundred-meter sprint final at the 1924 Paris Games, featuring three of the world’s fastest swimmers—American legends Duke Kahanamoku and Johnny Weissmuller, and Japanese upstart Katsuo Takaishi—had the cultural impact of other milestone moments in Olympic history: Jesse Owens’s podiums in Berlin and John Carlos’s raised, black-gloved fist in Mexico City. Never before had an Olympic swimming final prominently featured athletes of different races, and never had it been broadcast live.

In 1968, perhaps the finest US Olympic men’s track-and-field team ever stirred the world in unprecedented ways, among them the victory stand black rights protest by Tommie Smith and John Carlos in Mexico City. But in competition no single athlete mirrored the free-thinking 1960s better than Dick Fosbury, a failed prep high jumper who invented an offbeat style that ultimately won him a gold medal and revolutionized the event. No jumpers today use any other style than his.

L'Agenzia anti-doping mondiale Wada ha squalificato la federazione russa per 4 anni accusandola di "doping di Stato". Niente Olimpiadi di Tokyo il prossimo anno e Giochi invernali di Pechino, e neppure i Mondiali di calcio in Qatar. Probabile che gli atleti che hanno superato i controlli internazionali possano gareggiare individualmente, ma senza la casacca della squadra russa. Uno schiaffo per Putin, che ha usato lo sport come strumento di politica interna e per l'immagine internazionale del Paese.
