Beschreibung

In Gerd Kanter: Five Championship Moments, Gerd provides the inside story of a career that saw him take more international medals than any men's discus thrower in history. Throughout his career, Gerd carried the hopes and dreams of his fellow Estonians looking for a reason to cheer during the tough post-Soviet era. After a disappointing performance at the 2004 Games, it seemed he might never achieve his gold medal dream, but he finally broke through at the 2005 World Championships and then never looked back, reaching the top of the podium at the 2007 Worlds and the 2008 Olympics. This book covers Gerd's rise to the top of the sport and his battle to stay there. Athletes, coaches, and fans will find inspiration in Gerd's momentous journey.
