Story
Olympia - die Stätte ist zum Inbegriff des antiken Sports geworden. Lebendige Schilderungen lassen uns Anteil nehmen an dem Vollzug der Riten und bringen uns die Atmosphäre in den Sportarenen nahe. Noch immer gibt uns Olympia viele Rätsel auf: Wer gründete dieses Heiligtum - und warum? Wann und unter welchen Bedingungen erlosch das Feuer auf dem Zeusaltar? Warum sind - trotz des sogenannten "olympischen Friedens" - gerade hier so viele Rüstungen und Kriegsgeräte versammelt wie nirgends sonst in Griechenland? Ein faszinierendes Feature, das umfassend einführt in eine versunkene Welt.

Marty Nothstein, one of the greatest cyclists of all time, arrived at the 1996 Olympic Games a heavy favorite. In the match sprint at the Atlanta Olympics, an event akin to prizefighting on a bicycle, he raced around a banked, oval track. Nothstein lost by a hair's width on the finish line and vowed to win the gold at the next Olympics, saying, "I didn't come here for a silver medal."

Story
On the eve of the opening of the 30th Olympiad in London this summer, sports activist and writer Mark Perryman presents a sharply critical take on the way the Games have been organized and an imaginative blueprint for how they could be improved. The London Olympics have been promoted as of great benefit for the host city and nation. The organizers insist that the lasting value of the facilities built, the tourism the Games will attract, and the popular participation in sport they will promote, all make the spending of billions of pounds of public money an excellent investment.

Story
In December 1935, Zdenek Koubek, one of the most famous sprinters in European women’s sports, declared he was now living as a man. Around the same time, the celebrated British field athlete Mark Weston, also assigned female at birth, announced that he, too, was a man. Periodicals and radio programs across the world carried the news; both became global celebrities. A few decades later, they were all but forgotten. In The Other Olympians, Michael Waters uncovers, for the first time, the gripping true stories of Koubek, Weston, and other pioneering trans and intersex athletes from their era.

Story
Eager to celebrate its history, and display its athletic potential, the United States hosted the nation’s first Olympic games in 1904 St. Louis. But within a few years, the publication of Coubertin’s memoirs turned the praised Olympics into the failed Olympics. America’s First Olympics corrects common misconceptions that began with Coubertin’s memoirs, and presents a fresh view of the 1904 games, which featured first-time African American Olympians, an eccentric and controversial marathon, and documentation by pioneering photojournalist Jessie Tarbox Beals.

Most people equate success with having more, but Sanya's quest was always for less. She started running track as a little girl in Jamaica and began competing when she was only seven. At 31 she's had a career's worth of conditioning to run a 400-meter race in 50 seconds, hopefully 49, or, even better, 48.

It started with a kiss. In 1955, that’s what the best beach volleyball players in the world played for: A kiss from Hollywood star Greta Thyssen. It was a seminal moment for the sport, and the subculture that it soon birthed: Players could ditch the 9-5 work life and instead spend their days on the beach, working odd jobs to make ends meet, doing whatever it took to stay on the sand.

Story
5 settembre 1972, ore 4:30, villaggio olimpico di Monaco di Baviera. Un commando palestinese di Settembre nero fa irruzione negli alloggi della squadra israeliana. Comincia così la pagina più tragica della storia delle Olimpiadi e si concluderà 20 ore dopo con 17 morti. In quella squadra c'è anche Shaul Ladany, marciatore che, bambino, fu deportato a Bergen-Belsen, il campo in cui morì Anna Frank. Per la seconda volta Ladany sopravvive alla Storia. La sua vita è stata una lunga sequenza di passi, quasi un Forrest Gump che ha attraversato il XX secolo.
