Simon Says Gold

Simon Whitfield's Pursuit of Athletic Excellence

By: Simon Whitfield,Cleve Dheensaw

From the moment Simon Whitfield burst onto the world stage at the 2000 Sydney Summer Games as triathlon's first Olympic champion, his winning personality and stellar athletic abilities have inspired young people around the globe. In Simon Says Gold, Simon describes his personal journey to Olympic glory as he recounts not only that glorious day in Sydney, but also the anguish of failing to repeat as Olympic champion in Athens in 2004, and his dramatic comeback at the 2008 Beijing Games, when his exhilarating race to a silver medal enthralled millions of fans around the world. Simon's stories of the highs and lows of his running career will captivate readers young and old, but his real message—that the simple pursuit of excellence is its own reward—will also inspire and motivate. Not everyone can be an Olympian. Simon Whitfield believes that true greatness is in performing to the best of one's ability. The reward is in the effort, not the outcome.

The Commonwealth Games, formerly the British Empire Games, have always been a major part of New Zealand's sporting scene. In this book there are chapters on each of the first fourteen Games from 1930 to Auckland in 1990, discussing issues such as venues and politics, and highlighting the personalities of the Games, especially competitors from New Zealand. Selected individuals are profiled in boxed sections which give their full Games careers and medal counts; these include Murray Halberg and Precious McKenzie. Also included are chapters on the origins of the Games, a full list of every gold medal won at the games since 1930, plus a bibliography.
