Author Description

The number-one, best-selling sports almanac for nearly a decade, the Sports Illustrated Sports Almanac is not only comprehensive and authoritative, it's fun to read. Side by side with almost 900 pages of current and historical results, awards, statistics, and records are anecdotes, memorable remarks, and insightful commentary from Sports Illustrated's team of writers. From college basketball to professional bowling, from horse racing to gymnastics, from triumph to scandal to unforgettable moments, all the athletic events of 2000 are recorded here. Who won is just the beginning. Fans can look up almost any fact, such as who blocked the most shots in the NBA last season or who won the 200-meter butterfly in 1972. This edition also includes complete coverage of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, lists every medal winner in every sport, and offers the thoughtful commentary that's made Sports Illustrated the sports magazine of choice.
