The Olympic Games bind us like no other performative event. They evoke emotion. They get us
attached to entities and athletes from other corners of the globe, and through them, we tend to
explore the complexities of life, from its challenges and disappointments to its great pleasures.
Friendship, aggression, failure, honour, humiliation, pride, loss and hope—these are all facets that
we imbibe through the Olympics and thus it makes for a fascinating indulgence.
Those who are bitten by the Olympic bug spend years reading and researching about it. And
because you are reading this, we are assuming that you too, like us, try and test your passion by
sitting, viewing and competing with other aficionados in ‘trivial’ pursuit—that is, remembering and
bouncing off trivia with our peers.
Aniket Mishra’s book—a brilliant amalgamation of trivia and quiz—celebrates and captures the spirit
of the Olympic Games in a way that is vivid, memorable and poignant.
