sport is full of fascinating facts and figures just waiting to be discovered. From
equipment and engineering to amazing sporting achievements, this brilliant book
is the latest in Usborne’s award-winning 100 Things to Know series and is
packed with quirky and surprising sport-themed facts. Featuring bold, graphic illustrations,
in a pictorial ‘infographics’ style, the snippets of information cover all
aspects of sport. Find out how having a moustache could make swimmers lose by a
hair, how Roman soldiers trained for war by doing gymnastics, how a Finnish
architect accidentally invented skateboarding and why footballers wear logos on
their kit? And for those hungry to learn more, there are internet links to
specially selected websites and videos where children can watch world-class
athletes break records and discover more about the facts in the book.
