Ben Ainslie: Close to the Wind Zusammenfassung

Ben Ainslie: Close to the Wind: Britain's Greatest Olympic Sailor Ben Ainslie

Knife-edge decisions, adrenalin rushes, extreme weather, bitter rivalries, heart-stopping races - they are all in a day's work for Ben Ainslie.

Against all odds, in the London 2012 Olympics Ben Ainslie thrillingly won a fourth successive gold medal, making him the greatest ever Olympic sailor and a British hero, chosen from many to be the flag bearer for the closing ceremony.

From his proudest moment representing Team GB, to one tough decision that almost risked destroying his career, this is a unique insight into the man who cannot let himself be second best. It shows what really takes place in the white heat of competition and lifts the lid on this toughest of sports.

REVISED AND UPDATED FOR PAPERBACK TO INCLUDE LONDON 2012.

Ben Ainslie: Close to the Wind Bewertungen

Take it from a neutral observer: the most accomplished competitor at work in British sport today is Ben Ainslie. Chris Hoy, Lewis Hamilton and Rebecca Adlington deserve praise but the real fanfare should be reserved for Ainslie ... [He has] a combination of dedication, stamina, tactical nous and, the clincher here, a sustained level of ruthlessness rarely witnessed before in British sport -- Henry Winter * Daily Telegraph *
Sailing's superman * The Times *
An interesting self-portrait ... it encapsulates his personality: pleasant and unassuming off the water, ruthless on it * Independent *
A must-read for any sailing fan... Ben's inside account makes for fascinating reading * All at Sea magazine *
