About Product
Successful athletes are real-life super heroes of today. With their awe-inspiring physical stamina; sporting prowess and often rugged good looks; these personalities are courted by billion-dollar brands as well as global audiences across all media platforms. In this way; sports-persons turn into sportstars and then often into cultural icons as well. For the purposes of this book though; this is not enough. The genuinely successful sportspersons are those who have had some far-reaching impact on the sport or game concerned. They may have brought about a major innovation in the way the sport is played or perhaps popularised the sport in a way that it was not before. Additionally; some sportspersons may have had raised the bar so high in their particular sport that for years and decades; the records they set remained unbroken. Based on such achievements; this book has zeroed on these twenty sportspersons who are truly the greatest of all time. These men and women have not just attained fame and financial success – some belonging to the earlier half of the twentieth century in fact did not – but have contributed to their game and to sports in general; in such a way so as to award high points in the evolution of the human both in body and mind.
