I give the content 5-stars, but the writing only 3-stars, which makes an average of 4.

I read this as part of the 2017 #MMDChallenge (fun): "A book about a topic or subject you already love."

I didn't want this book to end! I cried twice which rarely happens when I read a book.
The journey and courage of the coach and the athletes is inspirational today! Soichi Sakamoto made so many contributions to the sport of swimming, yet I had never heard his name until this book.
I'd recommend it to anyone who loves to swim, readers who are interested in history, and of course, Olympic junkies.
