Review
'timely and excellent... Foster's pacy account begins with the tension of the final countdown to the Sydney final. But Foster's real purpose is to deliver his insights into the complex web of relationships between himself, his coach and crewmates during what often proved to be a fraught and incident packed four-year period leading up to Sydney.' THE GUARDIAN 'Engrossing... the story of the crew has never been told with such acute sensitivity as in FOUR MEN IN A BOAT... where the book excels is in capturing the atmosphere of the sport and the competition to get into winning crews.' THE TIMES 'This is a great insight into a great story, told with humour and panache.' THE INDEPENDENT

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. When Great Britain won gold at the Sydney 2000 Olympics coxless four, seven million people watched and voted it the greatest sporting moment of the year. This moment, and Steve Redgrave's fifth Olympic gold medal, has eclipsed the long and troubled journey four men made to peak at exactly the right time. Tim Foster brings vividly to life what it's like to be one of four headstrong, and at times conflicting, personalities and reveals how close they all came to implosion as the Sydney Olympics approached. FOUR MEN IN A BOAT is structured around the 2000m final itself, with Tim Foster analysing the story of the crew as they progress towards the gold medal. He also gives a compelling insight into the hardships of sport at the highest level, and what it takes for four men to come together and win Olympic gold. As the first book to reveal the true story behind the 2000 race, FOUR MEN IN A BOAT is a classic dissection of what it takes, and means, to win. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001176246
