Amazon: Rome 1960 - The Olympics That Changed the World by David Maraniss

First to recommend

Description

Perhaps noted more for the political atmosphere than for the achievements of the athletes at the Games, this book highlights the transformation of the Olympiad at the onset of the Cold War; the Civil Rights and feminist movements; and steroid use. Although others may choose a different demarcation date for the world's transition to modern day athletics, Maraniss nonetheless narrates a thorough history of the 1960 Games, its athletes and the countries they represented.

Amazon: Is There Really a Human Race? by Jamie Lee Curtis

First to recommend

Description

A play on the word "race", this beautifully illustrated and humorous explanation of the concept of humanity is a fun read for both kids and adults. Jamie Lee Curtis has a unique talent for bringing the thoughts and ideas of children to their fullest expression, illuminating questions that we all have pondered (or may still).

Athleta: Women's Super Swirl Crazy Eights One Piece Swimsuit

First to recommend

Description

Although I am sure that the U.S women's swim team will be wearing red, white and blue for competition, this suit provides good luck for training as the opening on the back is created by two intersecting eights: quite auspicious according to Chinese lore. And we will need it in competing against the Australian women swimmers Libby Trickett, Leisel Jones and Jessicah Schipper.

Ralph Lauren: The Olympic Games Collection - USA Olympic Games Sweatshirt

First to recommend

Description

It's not just a sweatshirt. It's many of the world's best in one place at one time. It's an inspiration to get out there and participate as a coach, amateur athlete or supporting sponsor. It's a reminder of all the good things we stand for as a country. (And, yes, it IS a snazzy sweatshirt too.) Meanwhile, be on the lookout for the agile men and women who will be sparring for the USA: Keeth Smart, TIm Morehouse, Jason Rogers, Gerek Meinhardt and Weston (Seth) Kelsey; Rebecca Ward, Mariel Zagunis, Sada Jacobson, Emily Cross, Erinn Smart, Hanna Thomspson and Kelley Hurley.

Speedo: Men's Fracture 8cm Brief

First to recommend

Description

Diving is one of the few sports in which wearing as little as possible is actually a good thing. And although these briefs are, well, brief, they have an edgy design that well represents the skillful daring of the U.S. men's swim team. Best of luck to the 2008 Olympians: David Boudia, Chris Colwill, Troy Dumais and Thomas Finchum.

Speedo: Women's Star Light Powerback Swimsuit

First to recommend

Description

I have always thought it was quite an achievement when I managed to get from diving board to pool without falling into a belly flop. So, I am in awe of what women divers are able to accomplish in the few seconds that elapse between the platform or board and the water . . . and how little splash the best divers actually make in the process. Congratulations to the U.S. Olympians: Kelci Bryant, Mary Beth Dunnichay, Nancilea Foster, Haley Ishimatsu, Christina Loukas, Ariel Rittenhouse and Laura Wilkinson.
