Ian Thorpe is one of the world's most astonishing athletes. Still only seventeen, he breaks world records with ease, and those with long-term swimming experience are already suggesting he might prove to be Australia's greatest swimmer ever. Yet the Thorpedo is not just content to swim fast and win, he has proven to be an outstanding young ambassador for Australia, and a clear and articulate spokesperson for young Australians. Much of his free time is devoted to inspiring and helping others, and his unselfish charity work mates him stand out amongst sporting contemporaries.
This book is a photographic celebration of Ian's life and achievements up to and including the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. It's a must-have piece of memorabilia for his legion of fans, and a fitting tribute to an extraordinary athlete at the start of his career.
