Book excerpt: TRIPLE SALTO – A detective novel with Daniel Dreyer Lust, sex, desire, attraction, lechery. Call it what you want, but it is one of the classical Seven Deadly Sins. The prematurely discharged elite frogman – and now private detective – Daniel Dreyer lives in the medium-sized provincial town of Haubjerg. A very young Danish-Japanese gymnastics girl, who belongs to the world elite in her sport arrives at the newly established sports college in the city. She trains for her big breakthrough with the impossible maneuver: the TRIPLE SALTO. In addition, she turns the heads – without wanting to – of several of the city's men. This has catastrophic consequences, and Daniel Dreyer has to take on the case. TRIPLE SALTO is the third volume in DANIEL & THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS, which has Lust as its theme. It can be read independently of the preceding books.
Download or read book The Sovereign Colony written by Antonio Sotomayor and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2016-02 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ceded to the United States under the terms of the Treaty of Paris after the Spanish-American War of 1898, Puerto Rico has since remained a colonial territory. Despite this subordinated colonial experience, however, Puerto Ricans managed to secure national Olympic representation in the 1930s and in so doing nurtured powerful ideas of nationalism. By examining how the Olympic movement developed in Puerto Rico, Antonio Sotomayor illuminates the profound role sports play in the political and cultural processes of an identity that evolved within a political tradition of autonomy rather than traditional political independence. Significantly, it was precisely in the Olympic arena that Puerto Ricans found ways to participate and show their national pride, often by using familiar colonial strictures—and the United States’ claim to democratic values—to their advantage. Drawing on extensive archival research, both on the island and in the United States, Sotomayor uncovers a story of a people struggling to escape the colonial periphery through sport and nationhood yet balancing the benefits and restraints of that same colonial status. The Sovereign Colony describes the surprising negotiations that gave rise to Olympic sovereignty in a colonial nation, a unique case in Latin America, and uses Olympic sports as a window to view the broader issues of nation building and identity, hegemony, postcolonialism, international diplomacy, and Latin American–U.S. relations.

Download or read book One Coach s Journey from East to West written by Vladimir Zaglada and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-12-31 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ONE COACHS JOURNEY FROM EAST TO WEST: HOW THE FALL OF THE IRON CURTAIN CHANGED THE WORLD OF GYMNASTICS Until the fall of the Soviet Union the West and the Communists were engaged not only in a heated arms race but a race for Olympic gold, and Moscow poured tremendous resources into the effort, attracting some of the country's greatest minds. Author Vladimir Zaglada provides a look inside some of the Soviet Unions gymnastics think tanks, such as the Moscows Lenin Institute. One Coach's Journey from East to West also introduces us to some of the brilliant and colorful figures that have advanced the art of gymnastics and examines how the flood of coaching talent into the West has shifted the "balance of power." The force of this "flood" has been somewhat impeded by cultural and language barriers, which are also discussed in the book. "Hot topics" such as the relentless increase in the difficulty level of artistic gymnastics are also discussed and a number of technical issues are covered, complete with illustrations. Zaglada provides a rare look inside the world of Soviet gymnastics at its height and provides information never before published in English. Did the machinery that cranked out Soviet gymnastics champions allow for a happy childhood? Why has the balance of power in gymnastics shifted in America's favor but will Russia retake the throne? The rigid line between "amateurs" (who are true professionals in almost all senses of the word) and professionals is the "amateur" in "amateur gymnastics sacred? Is there an ideal physique for women's gymnastics? How much of current American coaching practice can be traced back to Soviet sports institutes? Ever heard of the "profile system"? What is the difference between an Arabian, an Onodi, and a Mostepanova? Why a few basic terms are constant sources of confusion. How effective was the system of incentives for Soviet gymnasts and coaches? How did the nomenklatura system of privileges and patronage impact Soviet gymnastics?
