Sportswriter's Year by Simon Barnes

This book describes life behind the scenes of a sportswriter's life. Simon Barnes, journalist on "The Times", has a roving brief as a sports writer and his work takes him around the world covering anything from ice-skating to motor racing. His year included the Grand National and three days backstage at Santa Anita racetrack, Los Angeles. He covered the Tyson v Holmes fight and he interviewed Nelson Piquet and a female jockey, Gee Armytage. Cricket is sampled in Barbados, rugby at the Hong Kong Sevens, and power-boat racing in Guernsey, and finally, the Seoul Olympics.
