In this easily accessible text read Tom's emotional story, from his childhood years right up to when he
took Olympic bronze at London 2012.

It takes blood, sweat and tears to get to the top of any sport, and these short,
inspirational biographies show just how tough it can be. Focusing on top athletes
and sport personalities, each dramatic story brings to life the skill, determination and
luck needed to break through into top level competition.
