Oksana Chusovitina of Uzbekistan, deemed the greatest of all time, is the only gymnast to compete in eight Olympic Games.
In 1971, the moon became an unexpected sporting arena when Alan Shepard, a member of the Apollo 14 mission, played golf on its surface.

The sports edition of the Chambers Facts series explores a diverse range of tournaments and sports. Whether it be the Olympics, FIFA World Cup, Grand Slam or Stanley Cup, NBA League, Formula One; be it cricket, football, basketball, athletics or chess, rhythmic gymnastics, racing, archery; there is something amazing to discover about each of these and beyond. Experience the full spectrum of the sports sentiment – humour, tragedy, thrill, wonder, inspiration with this thematically divided book that covers great arenas, champions, sporting gestures, quotes, controversies and much more!
This ultimate sports compilation is an unconventional fusion of intrigue and information, catering to quizzers, sports aficionados and any other curious minds alike. Game on!
