There is a great event on planet Earth that takes place every four years and attracts the attention of almost all its inhabitants. The next Olympic Games are being held in one of the countries of the world, bringing together the best athletes, boxers, swimmers, gymnasts, and athletes of many other “specialties.” And millions of people live in tense anticipation: what previous records will fall and what will be set, what new phenomenal sporting achievements will amaze the world? Once every four years, but with a different “cycle”, the FIFA World Cup takes place. Let's not forget the world championships in hockey, basketball, handball, volleyball, athletics, swimming, boxing, and wrestling. Many national competitions are of great interest, for example: the Stanley Cup by NHL hockey players and the football championships of England, Italy or Spain. The author of the book about one hundred great sporting achievements of all times and peoples is V.I. Malov, sports history specialist, writer and journalist.
