Winter Olympics by Ron C Judd

Winter Olympics by Ron C Judd

A keepsake-cum-guidebook to the magic of Vancouver's Winter Games--coming soon in February 2010! Combining the lore and magic of the Winter Games with profiles of the individual sports, author Ron Judd has created the ultimate insider's guide to complement the Olympic games coming in 2010. From alpine skiing and figure skating to luge and curling, Judd devotes a chapter to each competitive sport, examining its history, key competitors in past Olympics, the newest athlete contenders, how the sport is played and judged, and more. Anecdotes and fun facts about the Winter Olympics give the reader a true sense of being at the games. And for readers who want to hit the slopes or rinks of British Columbia, Judd includes a round-up on outfitters and access to the Olympic venues. The Winter Olympics also includes a chapter on the Paralympic Winter Games.

Ron C. Judd's books include Camping! Washington and The Blue Tarp Bible. He lives in Bellingham, WA. Seabury Blair created the R&R section for the Bremerton Sun, which became the prototype for most of the outdoor-travel sections in all Puget Sound pape
