Anotace:	Historical Dictionary of the Olympic Movement is the only book which gives in dictionary form comprehensive definitions concerning the greatest international sporting movement and event in the history of the world. The book covers an unusually broad range of persons, places, and events as well as an extended time horizon. The reader can find a helpful chronology and concise recapitulation of the modern Olympic games and with entries on Olympic bodies, significant pioneers, organizers and athletes, the various sporting events and associations, and a multitude of countries. These are all updated and expanded to produce a more complete dictionary. And, for this new edition, further entries were added on the problems and even scandals that have seriously tarnished the Olympic movement but fortunately also induced major reforms. The appendices provide handy information on leading figures in the movement and the outstanding athletes. An extensive bibliography suggests further reading. The book is written for sports historians and Olympic afficianados, world -wide.
