Turning the Tide (Paperback)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Fairfield, OH, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Against the backdrop of the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan, the 1980 Moscow Olympics was always going to be political. Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser wanted Australias Olympic athletes to boycott the Games, in line with the USA, but many of the athletes had a different view and competed under the Olympic flag. In Turning the Tide, 800 metres Swimming Gold Medal winner, Michelle Ford, charts the highs and lows from the beaches of Sydney as a young girl with a dream to the dizzy heights of Olympic swimming gold against the odds of Cold-War politics spilling into sport like poison. Olympic boycotts, death threats, wilful blindness and misogyny coincided with the first and most ferocious, systematic, state-sponsored doping the world has ever witnessed. Whatever flag they competed under at Moscow, athletes were the victims - and most of them female. According to Ford, who was Australias first and founding member of the International Olympic Committee's Athletes Commission, that struggle is far from over. As Paris prepares to host the 2024 Olympics, 100 years after the Modern Olympics founding father Pierre de Coubertin declared that Women have one task, that of the role of crowning the winner with garlands, an indifference to female athletes lives on. In this roller-coaster account of courage and resilience in the Olympic realm, Turning the Tide is a manifesto for change. A sporting world under threat from a hidden menace, a nation ill-prepared to meet it, a Sydney school girl who found a way. When 13-year-old Michelle Ford went to her first Olympics, she soon learned the biggest battles lay outside the pool. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781925914924
